Engineering Sustainability through Science and Innovation

The School of Agricultural and Food Sciences at the International School of Engineering, Science and Technology (ISEST) is at the forefront of modernising the agricultural and food technology landscape in Central Africa. Fusing biological sciences with modern technology, mechanical engineering, and strategic entrepreneurship, this school equips students with the technical knowledge, practical skills, and real-world experience needed to optimise agricultural value chains, ensure food security, and build resilient agro-pastoral enterprises.

Our goal is to train future-ready agricultural engineers, food production specialists, and agribusiness innovators who will drive sustainable development, increase food safety standards, and transform traditional farming into high-yielding commercial ventures both in Cameroon and globally. Whether your interest lies in mechanised engineering, nutritional chemistry, livestock breeding, or marine cultivation, the School of Agricultural and Food Sciences offers a distinct path to industry employability, environmental impact, and economic prosperity.
