About Us

The evolution of the College of Agricultural and Enviromental Sciences (CAES) rates back to 1920’s when the first agricultural programme was introduced at Makerere University to offer certificates in agriculture related-courses. Over the years, due to the transition of Makerere University into a collegiate system, CAES became one of the 10 constituent colleges of Makerere University. The College was formed through a merger of the former: (i) Faculty of Agriculture, (ii) Faculty of Forestry and Nature Conservation, (iii) Makerere University Institute of Environment and Natural Resources; and (iv) the Department of Geography, resulting into three schools: School of Agricultural Sciences (SAS), School of Food Technology, Nutrition and Bioengineering (SFTNB), and the School of Forestry, Environmental and Geographical Sciences (SFEGS), which together have eight Departments.
