Sustainability

Benha University plays a significant role in mitigating climate change as droughts become more frequent and severe, threatening reduced production. Climate change is expected to decrease water availability, so Benha University is committed to studying the impact of climate change on agricultural production. The university adopts policies on using agricultural greenhouses to cope with sudden and severe climate changes, control water stress, and monitor climate changes in the region, as well as managing disasters and crises and minimizing their impact.

This is achieved through:

• Conducting research and studies on environmental security crises, climate change, and carbon emissions
• A project to apply partial parameters for developing a distinctive drought-tolerant hybrid maize in light of current and future climate changes and water scarcity at the Faculty of Agriculture in Moshtohor - Benha University
• The Organic Greenhouse Project at the Faculty of Agriculture - Benha University
• The Meteorological Station at the Faculty of Agriculture - Benha University
• The University’s Crisis and Disaster Unit
