During the 17 years of civil unrest in Lebanon, agricultural education witnessed remarkable achievements through the establishment of new faculties of agriculture. These faculties provide their students with a general agricultural education with the exception of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences of the Lebanese University which offers specialization options for the graduating class. This situation necessitates a reorganization and diversification of curricula to respond to the national agricultural needs and to avoid unnecessary educational competition. During the last four years the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences has organized several programs of students exchange with schools of agriculture in France and with the Mediterranean Agronomic Institutes in Italy, Spain, France and Greece. Besides, it organized in 1992 short-term training courses for farmers, university students, extension agents and local and regional trainers. There is also a pressing need for the public agricultural institutions to recruit good quality and multidisciplinary personnel. The transfer of information system determining the relationship between the researchers and the farmers through the development and extension agents is in need for rehabilitation and reorganization. With the changes and new trends in the agricultural development in the world, national programs of the region are now pressed to establish common strategies and develop regional networks.
