Message of the DeanThe agricultural sector is the driving force for economic growth,
job creation and national development. From the point of view of the great founder
of Islamic Revolution and the Supreme Leader, the agricultural sector plays an outstanding
role in national self-sufficiency and agriculture is one of the major pillars of
national security. According to Imam Khomeini, "the attention to the reconstruction
of industrial centers should not abort the efforts aimed at achieving agricultural
self-sufficiency, but the first priority should always be placed on agricultural
self-sufficiency and the authorities have to pursue this policy more than ever.
Certainly, self-sufficiency in agriculture is a prerequisite for independence and
self-sufficiency in other fields. As the Supreme Leader maintains: "the agricultural
sector is a central pillar of the countrys administration and the authorities of
different organizations must understand this importance and take into account all
issues affecting the position of the agricultural sector, including allocation of
funds and facilities, attention to academic and non-academic research and training,
the appointment of capable people at the forefront and resolving the farmers problems?.
