Agriculture and Agricultural Management Practices

Agriculture is the heartbeat of our rural communities, and at Velangaye Secondary School, we take pride in offering Agricultural Sciences and Agricultural Management Practices (AMP) to prepare learners to become future farmers, agri-entrepreneurs, scientists, and leaders in food production. These subjects are not just about learning to grow crops or raise livestock they are about understanding the systems, science, and business that sustain life and build strong, self-reliant communities. 1. Agricultural Sciences This stream focuses on the scientific principles behind plant production, animal husbandry, soil management, and environmental conservation. Learners develop a deep understanding of how to use modern, sustainable practices to improve yields, care for the land, and address challenges such as climate change and food insecurity. Agricultural Sciences lays the foundation for careers in agricultural research, environmental management, veterinary sciences, and agri-technology. 2. Agricultural Management Practices (AMP) AMP provides learners with practical, hands-on skills to manage agricultural enterprises. From planning and budgeting to production techniques and marketing, this subject equips learners with the knowledge to run farms and agribusinesses effectively. It also focuses on entrepreneurship, empowering learners to create job opportunities and contribute to the economic growth of their communities. At Velangaye, these agricultural streams go beyond textbooks and classrooms they instil a sense of responsibility and vision for building a better future. Learners are encouraged to see agriculture as a modern, innovative, and vital industry that holds the key to food security and rural development. By combining science, technology, and traditional knowledge, we aim to raise a generation of agricultural leaders who will transform their communities and the nation.
