Technical Support/ Extension services

The National Agricultural Research Center (NARC) of Jordan promotes increased agricultural production while conserving natural resources and optimizing their use, and preserving the ecological balance. To achieve this, NARC has launched several projects to support farmers in both technical and logistics operations. For example, the Food Security Project in 2016, in which 200-250 field observations were established. The Field Schools Project is another important tool supporting farming communities that began in the growing season 2004/2005. In the beginning, it was limited to vegetables but later on, fruit trees and other crops were included. The aim was to integrate the researcher, agricultural extension agent and farmer into a pioneering agricultural experiment. Additionally, NARC has launched an Agricultural Innovation Incubator Initiative on February 26th, 2019, which aims to transform entrepreneurial ideas into real projects that enhance the national economy and contribute to sustainable development and create job opportunities and success stories about farmers.
