University of Agriculture Faisalabad (UAF) is planning to establish the country’s first Insect Museum at the Old Campus. The museum will help preserve the bio-diversity system.
This was disclosed at a scholarly exchange programme organised here the other day by the US-Pakistan Centre for Advanced Studies in Agriculture and Food Security (USPCAS-AFS). Vice Chancellor Iqrar Ahmad Khan chaired the event.
The vice chancellor said that the museum would house various species of insects. It would promote research and development activities, he said. He said that plant pathological, entomological and zoological aspects would be considered during the collection of all species.
“The country is blessed with immense resources but we are not tapping the potential. Water scarcity, low agricultural productivity, increasing population and climate changes pose threats to food insecurity,” the vice chancellor said.
Faisal Shah urged agricultural experts to work with the farmer community to will help address issues faced by growers.
Positive decisions that will inspire students and other professionals to think around every possible stance and abilities which are going to help them in the future success and career building.
