In line with the goals of sustainable development in quality education, good health and well-being, and life on land, the Medicinal Plants Research Unit, in collaboration with the Continuing Education Unit at the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, organized a workshop on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, titled ‘The Role of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants in Achieving Sustainable Development Goals and Improving Food and Medical Security in Iraq.’ The workshop was delivered by the head of the Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Research Unit, Dr. Ruwaa Abdul Hussein Ali.
The workshop aimed to explore how medicinal and aromatic plants contribute to achieving food security, raise awareness about the importance of medicinal plants, and encourage their cultivation and use as alternatives to dietary supplements and chemically manufactured medicines. This is due to the numerous health benefits of these plants, as well as their lack of complications and side effects on human health.
