A number of professors from the College of Agriculture at the University of Karbala participated in the course, including Dr. Adnan Abdul Jalil Lahof, Dr. Kazem Muhammad Abdullah, Dr. Ali Abdul Hussein Karim, and Dr. Sinai Muslim Abd.
The course aims to learn about modern methods and recent developments in the agricultural and water sector, especially with the increasing impact of climate change on Iraq.
