STRATEGIC GOALS AND ORGANISATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS

as statements that describe the outcome expected in the agricultural sector as

to respond to the above strategic frameworks; as follows:

crop based agriculture;

livestock based agriculture;

of natural resources;

Translate research outputs in order to generate knowledge, facilitate decision

These strategic goals served to inform the Agricultural Research Council’s research

Council was also structured in a way that would support these strategic goals by clustering its divisions under Crop Science, Animal Science, Research and

and Engineering; Agro-processing, Food Technology and Safety; Smallholder

achieved under the various programmes in the Financial Year 2016/17.
