Description & Prerequisites

Agriculture and rural development go hand in hand because it is mostly practiced in rural areas. Agriculture is the mainstay of rural communities in South Africa. It is therefore important that when rural communities are developed, agriculture does not lag behind. Rural development braces improvement of human capabilities, protective, political and economic capabilities towards sustainable agriculture and subsequently, poverty alleviation. The purpose of this module, therefore, is to provide participants with the knowledge of agricultural and rural development approaches, strategies, and programmes. It will be useful for students requiring exposure to competences required on agricultural and rural development.
