Biodegradable agricultural support was also adopted in a practical step aimed at reducing plastic pollution and supporting the principles of sustainable agriculture and the green economy. The students also participated in scientific field tours within the plant reserve at Al-Mustaqbal University, during which they were briefed on the characteristics of the soil and its types, its relationship with plants and biodiversity, and the role of the reserve in protecting the soil and reducing drift and degradation, in order to enhance the applied aspect and link the theoretical knowledge to practical reality. This event is part of a series of institutional initiatives implemented by Future University within the framework of its social responsibility, and its quest to empower students as ambassadors for sustainability and active partners in spreading the culture of environmental awareness, protecting natural resources and preserving the environment for future generations.
