Education facilities of the Faculty of Agriculture are given General description section. In addition to these a total of 23 laboratories are available in the field of biotechnology, molecular biology, post-harvest physiology, pomology and cytology, phytopathology, entomology, agricultural machinery, soil and plant nutrition, animal genetics and animal nutrition.
The Faculty has two research and application farms namely Campus and Aksu. The Campus Farm consists of open and protected production areas, livestock facilities and workshops. The farm is of 1,5 hectares of greenhouse (glass and plastic), 7 hectares of field for agronomical trials, poultry (10 000 quail, 5 000 head chickens), 100 head dairy cattle breeding facility, bumblebee production facility and 1.5 ton daily capacity milk processing facility. Tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, watermelons, winter vegetables, sweet potatoes, daily milk, buttermilk, yoghurt, cream, cheese and chicken and quail eggs are produced in these areas.

Sustainable Integrated Agriculture Project
Our sustainable integrated agriculture efforts have been ongoing since 2005. Thanks to this important project, it is aimed that different disciplines in our faculty work together to ensure the sustainable cycle in production. This cycle is given below;
With this integrated Project;
Since its establishment in 1983, Faculty of Agriculture has taken mission to train Agricultural Engineers who adopt sustainable production which is sensitive for environment and human health, contribute to the development of new methods and techniques in the field of agriculture and reflect it on the field, produce permanent solutions for technical problems occurring in the field of plant and animal production of the sector on the basis of modern science.
We aim to develop plant and animal genotypes allowing production by considering decreases in natural resources gradually and possible changes in environment conditions in the near future, to transfer digitalization to production with precision agriculture applications, to contribute to the economy of both the region and the country by improving agricultural production, especially in greenhouse cultivation, fruit growing and goat breeding. In this regard, our vision as Faculty of Agriculture, Akdeniz University is to become an internationally recognized Faculty, which has completed the accreditation processes at both national and international level, to adopt an educational approach emphasizing the academic and personal development of students on the basis of modern science and to educate Agricultural Engineers who are self-confident, have high communication skills, and are open to innovations.
