Our Mission...

 Since the late 1970s of invasion from Soviet, Afghanistan has experienced a continuous state of war, and still today, the country is still in a danger. Afghanistan used to have full of greenery, however, trees and farms had been destroyed due to war. A drought dried out vegetation and caused the country's water shortage. People are suffering from hunger, poverty, lack of water and they are facing to the critical situation of their life.
Our future goal is to save Afghan People and their country with their food crisist by using our science and technology, by building up the wheat breeding system which can be their main agricultural product.
