UNALM
The origin of the UNALM dates back to 1901, when the National School of
Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine (ENAV) was founded. The creation of this
school was based on the studies of a Belgian mission from the University of
Gembloux. Since 1960, this academic institution has been recognized as
