The Faculty of Agriculture was established on 27 June 1966 as a college affiliated with the University of Libya (which had their own faculty founded in 1966) and it was the second faculty established in Tripoli. The main aims of the Faculty of Agriculture represent in preparing highly qualified agricultural engineers in different specializations, performing agricultural research, and providing consultations and technical services.

In 1971/1972 the Department of Food Science in the Faculty of Engineering joined the Faculty of Agriculture.
The Department of Plant Production consisted of five branches: agricultural economics, horticulture, field crops, plant protection, and agricultural engineering.
In 1978 these branches changed to become departments and two departments were added to the faculty in the same year (Department of Pasture and Forests and Department of Home Economics). In 1995 the Department of Hydroponics was established at the faculty and the Department of Political Culture was created in 2002 bringing the total number of departments in the faculty to twelve, in addition to the general department that students have a preliminary year before joining specialized scientific departments.
