The Visayas State University towards Sustainability

Driven by its vision of becoming a global green university providing progressive leadership in agriculture, science & technology, education and allied fields for societal transformation, VSU is one with the United Nations in committing to the fulfillment of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the year 2030.



Currently, VSU is working to become a National Green University in the Philippines by championing sustainable practices in instruction, research, extension, innovation and production programs.

An important component of this plan is the integration of sustainable development practices into the graduate and undergraduate degree programs, as well as in its research, development, and extension (RDE) projects. VSU is also pioneering student-led activities that aim to mainstream environmental conservation and protection efforts into the students’ co-curricular programs.


VSU is continuously working on promoting sustainable agriculture by investing on state-of-the art research facilities and world class laboratory equipment to generate innovative technologies and climate-resilient crop varieties.



Aside from smart agriculture, the university also works to generate innovations that will address a wide ranging environmental, agricultural and economic issues not only in Eastern Visayas but also in other marginal communities in the Philippines.


This site aims to document the various initiatives that VSU implements to contribute to the achievement of the SDGS.
