Kursbeskrivning
This course is for you that want to learn more about an overview of the food security and social security situation of rural livelihoods, partly drawing on gender analysis.
The course elaborates on the interrelations between rural and urban, farm and non-farm strategies in building household livelihoods. The focus is on low-income countries and marginal areas of production and livelihoods, particularly regions in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa that are affected by poverty.
The course addresses the interconnections between rural development, gender and technology, institutions, food security, social security and poverty. Students will learn how to describe and critically discuss, amongst others, dominant policies and programmes in rural development, people’s motivations and livelihood strategies and gender and development theory.
