Ensuring food on campus is sustainably farmed
(Activities of 2022)
The University of Basrah owns large areas of greenhouses that produce various vegetables and fruits such as short-stemmed banana trees and date palms that are grown in the university's orchards. These crops and meat are subject to a harsh policy in terms of being healthy for human use, as they are constantly subjected to much laboratory work to check their suitability for safe use
The laboratories of the College of Agriculture at the University of Basrah always perpetuate the soil that incubates vegetables and fruits such as Food Research and Consumer Protection Laboratories / College of Agriculture, where many laboratory and field experiments are conducted to examine the safety of the soil for the production of healthy food.
The laboratories of the University of Basrah routinely test the soil's suitability for producing poultry, cows, sheep, buffaloes and many foods. where samples are taken to check for the presence of pollutants that harm animal health and ultimately human health.
The University of Basrah checks all foods to see whether they are fit for human consumption with the usage of expert teams. Additionally, it aims to guarantee that these goods come from Basra Governorate's finest fields and orchards.
