LAU ranked third globally in SDG 1: No Poverty—up from the fifth position last year—thanks to its extensive scholarship and financial aid offering. In SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, it placed 19th—a testament to the many initiatives, programs, and curricula that significantly enhance graduates’ employability and access to economic opportunity. Another significant feat is its 24th placement in SDG 17: Partnership for the Goals, which illustrates the university’s reach through its broad network of local, national, and international collaborations.

FAO, IFAD, and WFP stress that gender equality in agrifood systems is essential for poverty reduction and food security worldwide.
