Mission and Statement of Sustainable Development

AERC’s Sustainability Statement

Social, economic, and environmental sustainability are closely intertwined and necessary components for a truly sustainable agriculture. Agriculture contributes to a number larger of environmental issues that cause environmental degradation including climate change, groundwater depletion and irrigation problems, soil degradation, agro-waste disposal/ burning, deforestation, biodiversity loss, genetic engineering,  pollutants, , and agro-waste.

AERC performs research-driven work (interdisciplinary research, qualitative research, participatory research, need assessment, baseline studies, program evaluation, impact assessment) to achieve lifelong learning for all.It facilitates bridges between educational research, innovation and policy development. AERC commits to the protection of the local, regional and global environments by developing policies and procedures around the use and management of resources.

Research has an essential role in finding new solutions for environmental and social challenges that are being emerged in agriculture and rural areas.
