Abstract
147 words
In recent times, there has been changes taking place in agriculture requiring smallholder
farmers to shift their focus from subsistence farming to commercialisation. This can be
enhanced by connecting agricultural education and research to the needs of the farmers and
food industry. An integrated approach, collaborating the efforts of universities, research
institutions and the industry should be adopted for this vision of agriculture to be achieved.
Universities should be at the centre of this change but agricultural science graduates are
often criticised for lack of creativity to deal with emerging challenges in the farmers’ situation.
Thus, the need for reforms in university teaching to equip students with the necessary skills
for problem solving. From a review of literature, the paper proposes re-orienting agribusiness
teaching in universities towards entrepreneurship in order to improve on the quality of
agricultural science graduates so as to catalyze development and social transformation.
