School gardens are run for a variety of reasons. Some that are gaining prominence in all parts of the world are the promotion of good diet, nutrition education, and the development of livelihood skills, together with the power to extend this learning beyond the school itself in a variety of ways. This educational focus can be an important long-term contributor to national health and food security. This paper is a useful tool for teachers in rural areas but also for planners, educators on rural development and managers of agricultural education.

SEAGA is an approach to development based on an analysis of socio-economic patterns and participatory identification of women and men’s priorities. The objective of this approach is to close the gaps between what people need and what development delivers. By placing socioeconomic analysis and gender analysis together, SEAGA helps us learn about community dynamics, including the linkages among social, economic and environmental patterns. The purpose of the SEAGA Sector Guide on Irrigation is to support gender-responsive participatory planning of irrigation schemes, and to integrate socio-economic and gender issues in the planning process. The ultimate aim is to improve irrigation scheme performance while strengthening the position of rural women and disadvantaged groups.

UNDERSTANDING ACCESS TO SEEDS AND PLANT GENETIC RESOURCES. WHAT CAN A LIVELIHOODS PERSPECTIVE OFFER? subjects: Soil and land rights levels and types of education: Secondary and vocational education
SESHIA SHAILA SCOONES IAN FAO, 2003, pages 45
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
English	Access to seeds and plant genetic resources (PGRs) is a vital element of food security and sustainable development. This study uses a livelihoods perspective to facilitate understanding of the role played by seeds and PGRs in rural people’s livelihoods. A central argument of this study is that the value-added of a livelihoods approach lies in its attention to the importance of access to resources and to the institutions, both formal and informal, that shape and mediate such access. Given the complexity and contextual nature of access questions, three cases are used. The case studies are: emergency seed relief, wild and weedy foods, and farmer engagement with agricultural research systems. Together, the case studies demonstrate: the assumptions made about access/lack of access; neglected channels through which people access seeds and PGRs; links with other livelihood resources; and the way that local questions of access are ‘connected up’ to institutions and processes at national and international levels.
