Agricultural Jihad?

This is old news since it was created in 2000, but I just heard about this today: Iran has a Ministry of Agricultural Jihad.  Ok, well not really.  It's actually the Ministry of Jihad-e-Agriculture, which I'm pretty sure makes it a legitimate thing since that would actually mean the word "jihad" was being used in its less commonly used form to mean "struggle" or "development" or "effort" or something along those lines.  The website makes it look like the ministry's goal is to promote sustainable development in Iranian agriculture.  Certainly commendable.  It just happens to also be an amusingly named ministry considering I wouldn't put it beyond the realm of possibility that Iran would have a ministry that thought about how to use agricultural products as weapons.
