Agriculture & Enterprise DevelopmentDescription of the Programme
Bachelor of Science in Land Resource Planning & Management is designed to equip students with the scientific knowledge and skills required to tackle technical issues in the management of land resources. The programme is of interest to those wishing to be soil surveyors, irrigated crop agronomists, land evaluators, physical planners, environmental impact assessors, land resources managers, land-use planners and policy managers in land use planning, both in private and public sectors. The degree programme will offer a rigorous science-based curriculum that will adequately focus on the sustainable management of land resources. In line with National Land Policy, the management of state, private, trust and community lands will be adequately addressed by the programme. The National Land Policy will not, on its own, bring about the envisaged land reforms. The implementation process will not only require goodwill and commitment from stakeholders, but also a large pool of professionals trained in land administration, conservation and management. Further, the Kenya Vision 2030 has adopted land reform macro-economic stability as cross-cutting foundations of national transformation, among others like ICT, security and rule of law. As such, equipping current and future land managers with a B.Sc. in Land Resources Management is a milestone in the provision of the critically required human resource in the land policy implementation and achievement of land reform macro-economic stability as envisaged in Vision 2030. The programme will prepare students in the art and science of multiple-land use management and gain the requisite competence as land administrators and managers who can facilitate in the implementation of the National Land Policy.
