| To enable their agriculture to grow, developing nations now face the need to produce the additional knowledge and new skills. Human capital development through agricultural education and training (AET) is an essential component of all agricultural development strategies. When substantial changes take place in the context for agricultural development—such as are now occurring in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA)—the agricultural education and training system must be adjusted accordingly. In a number of African countries, such adjustments are already underway. This guide is a training tool for capacity development initiatives aimed at planners and educators on rural development. It is also a useful tool for university professors, students and researchers of the agriculture rural development and education sectors. |

| This paper is a training tool for capacity development initiatives aimed at educators on rural development, and planners. It is also a useful tool for university professors, students and researchers of the agriculture rural development and education sectors. This paper presented at the Global Junior Challenge (GJC) on December 2000 in Rome outlines the parameters of the digital divide, addresses the relation among education and such divide, as well as the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in education in "developing countries", and describes some FAO activities aiming at bridging this divide and making education for agriculture and rural development available on a more equitable basis. The "digital divide" refers to inequitable access to ICTs both between wealthy and poor countries, and, within all countries, between relatively privileged and underprivileged social groups. The digital divide threatens to further marginalise vulnerable and underprivileged groups, including the rural poor, a specific target of FAO mandate. |

| This paper was presented at the "FAO/UNESCO seminar: Education for rural development in Asia: Experiences and policy lessons", 5-7 November 2002, Bangkok, Thailand.
More than 70 percent of the world's poor are to be found in rural areas where hunger, illiteracy and low school achievement are common. This paper recognizes that education is an essential part of any strategy aimed at achieving sustainable rural development that encompasses all those who live in rural areas. Such strategies need to address the provision of education for all target groups: children, youth and adults, giving priorities to gender imbalances. This paper proposes strategies, policies and practices that have to be implemented by governmental and non-governmental agencies to alleviate both poverty at large and poverty in rural areas in the Asian region. |

| This book is a training tool for capacity development initiatives aimed at educators on rural development, and planners. It is also a useful tool for university professors, students and researchers of the agriculture rural development and education sectors. The theoretical foundation of this research is that being educated improves rural people’s capacity to diversify assets and activities, increase productivity and income, foster resilience and competitiveness, access information on health and sanitation, strengthen social cohesion and participation: these are all essential elements to ensure food security in the long run. The main findings of this research is the high association between food insecurity and primary education and the econometric model shows that primary education is a crucial element to reduce food insecurity in rural areas, even when compared to other factors such as access to water, health and sanitation. |

| This report is a training tool for capacity development initiatives aimed at educators on rural development, and planners. It is also a useful tool for university professors, students and researchers of the agriculture rural development and education sectors. This report presents the findings of an analysis on basic Education for rural people (ERP) in Croatia and proposes measures to improve access and quality of ERP in order to better contribute to rural development. The report notes that the major problems in basic education are connected to educational quality (i.e. the absence of aspects of rural life in curricula and textbooks, teacher-centred teaching methods, the lack of in-service training available for rural teachers). There are also some problems of access, in particular, difficulties with school transport and access to specific activities before or after normal school-hours. In most cases, the main cause of these problems is weak institutional capacity.

| The article is a training tool for teachers in rural areas. It is also a useful tool for university professors, students and researchers of the agriculture rural development and education sectors. It illustrates how two primary schools operate: one is currently located in northern Mozambique, the other existed in mid-Norway in the mid twentieth. The two schools illustrate, respectively, what basic education for rural children all too often consists of and what it could be – if only the right policies, resources and community support were in place and properly applied, with its teachers well-qualified and its pupils well-equipped with reading and writing materials. |

| This paper was presented at the Aid Agencies Workshop: "Education for rural people: Targeting the poor" (12-13 December 2002, FAO Headquarters, Rome, Italy). It was a meeting of a group of bilateral and multilateral agencies with the aim to propose strategies to reduce the disadvantages which rural people, and especially the rural poor, chronically suffer. The participants recognised that, despite several decades of experience in educational programmes for rural people, there was still a need for a special and concerted effort to draw together into accessible forms the many insights that those experiences had generated. The paper proposes strategies in order to strengthen the allocation of financial and human resources in rural areas. |

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: EDUCATION FOR RURAL PEOPLE - KNOWLEDGE AS A TOOL TO FIGHT HUNGER AND POVERTY

| This paper is a training tool for capacity development initiatives aimed at educators on rural development, and planners. It is also a useful tool for university professors, students and researchers of the agriculture rural development and education sectors. This paper was presented at the workshop held at FAO in Rome in 2002.
It underlines that knowledge is a powerful means of liberating children, and their families, from the cycle of poverty and hunger. For children living in remote rural areas, from Angola to Zambia and Bangladesh to Brazil, attending school competes with a whole host of demands on their time and energy - collecting water, herding animals and looking after their younger brothers and sisters. Rural people need more schools, with improved teaching methods, techniques and materials, focusing on their real needs.

| This paper is a training tool for capacity development initiatives aimed at planners and educators on rural development. The paper suggests that rural development is a complex process that requires sustainable agriculture production, natural resources management, institutions, infrastructure, health, education, markets, finance, policy, local government and education in order to succeed. Agricultural education systems from universities to non-formal adult education have to decide what measures to adopt for increasing rural development. This paper suggests various relevant strategies. |

| This book is a training tool for capacity development initiatives aimed at educators on rural development, and planners. It is also a useful tool for university professors, students and researchers of the agriculture rural development and education sectors.
This book illustrates the “Rural Ecology and Agriculture Livelihoods” (REAL) in Thailand.
It is an integrated learning process in which children explore what is happening on local farms, gain an understanding of ecology and develop critical thinking skills for addressing environmental, health and social problems; additionally, they grow up in the real world, bridging school and the rural world. The process of getting students out of the classroom and into local fields can break down barriers between schools and rural communities and encourage inter-generational learning and relevance of the curriculum to the needs of rural people.

| This paper is a training tool for capacity development initiatives aimed at educators on rural development, and planners. It is also a useful tool for university professors, students and researchers of the agriculture rural development and education sectors. This paper presents the Partnership on Education for Rural People.
The initiative seeks to address rural-urban disparities, which are a serious concern to governments and the international community as a whole. About 70 per cent of the poor live in rural areas. Despite the fact that education is a basic right in itself and an essential prerequisite for reducing poverty, improving the living conditions of rural people and building a food-secure world, children's access to education in rural areas is still much lower than in urban areas, adult illiteracy is much higher and quality of education is poorer.

Since education has a direct impact on poverty and hunger, this reseach is a contribution to sharing knowledge within the framework of the Education for Rural Peopel flagship (ERP) led by FAO which aims at contributing to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals One and Two. The study describes the educational activities and dynamics of the boarding school. Moreover the study describes the connections between ERP, Education for All initiative (EFA) and the Senegalese Ministry of Education programme in the context of this rural school.

| The paper is recommended to all those, practitioners, development workers and researchers, committed to achieve poverty reduction, food security and universal primary education. The paper was presented at a joint UNICEF-World Bank Conference organized in June 2003 Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. It is a contribution to the achievement of the universal primary education and especially to the efforts to improve the rate of primary education of rural dwellers and girls in particular. Here lies the priority for action for all those committed in achieving MDGs One and Two. Besides it explores the issues of disparity focusing on gender, geographical location (urban/rural and family income) and on the characteristics of the populations that will need to be included . The study, based on quantitative and qualitative analysis, indicates that disparities in primary schooling between urban and rural areas (in favor of urban dwellers) are on average two to three times greater than those existing between boys and girls (in favor of boys). |

| There is a very close link between the Education for Rural People (ERP) flagship partnership objectives which has rural people at the center of its mission, and
the development projects in Malawi carried on by various UN agencies and NGO’s.
Despite a decade of free primary education in Malawi, the number of girls dropping out of school continues to outstrip that of boys, according to a new report from the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF). This article, stemming from a direct experience in the field, between June and September 2004 in some Malawian Rural Schools, provides unbiased overviews and opinions of a UNICEF volunteer on the Education problems affecting Rural Adolescent Girls, together with some suggestions on appropriate strategies to solve them. The mission was developed in the Chikwawa District, in the Southern part of Malawi, near Zomba. The reader will find inside a lot of updated information on the educational situation in Malawi. All these data are based on oral interviews in the field.

It is also a useful tool for university professors, students and researchers of the agriculture rural development and education sectors. This manual is the result of collaboration between the University of Reading, United Kingdom and FAO. It seeks to help those engaged in agricultural education and training to identify the stakeholders for their own programmes. It explores the reasons and methods for involving these stakeholders in the development of curricula at three different levels: determining the aims and goals of the program and courses; setting the learning objectives (in terms of knowledge, skills and attitudes, the so-called "KSA approach" to curriculum development); and designing the learning activities by which these objectives are to be achieved. The manual also outlines the implications of involving outsiders in curriculum development processes.

| This paper is a training tool for capacity development initiatives aimed at educators on rural development, and planners. It is also a useful tool for university professors, students and researchers of the agriculture rural development and education sectors. This paper was presented at the "Aid Agencies Workshop Education for Rural People: Targeting the Poor" (Rome, December 2002). The teaching of practical skills in basic education and school garden practices have been experimented for years in many parts of the world. With almost forty years of direct experience in these areas,the author provides a brief analysis of the different approaches, lessons learned and suggestions for improving upon the relevance of these activities. The first priority in educating rural people is to teach rural children, youth and adults the essential learning tools (such as literacy, oral expression, and arithmetic); school gardens should not overshadow such key objectives or create unrealistic expectations. |

| This paper is a training tool for teachers, educators on rural development. It is also a useful tool for university professors, students and researchers of the agriculture rural development and education sectors. This study was published in "Entwicklung und Laendlicher Raum" on july 2002. According to the author, "school gardening" has often been understood as manual work in the school garden, without educational or social aims. The author promotes a sustainable and more comprehensive approach to agriculture in school which combines educational, socio-political and economic objectives. She is concerned about the "pathology" of school gardening which some critics have called child-labour exploitation or punishment. This refers to situations in which pupils have no control over their crops and no tangible benefits, when proceeds are appropriated by teachers as an additional income, or used by schools for miscellaneous expenses. For these reasons, agricultural labour in schools has often been viewed unfavourably by parents and communities.
This article highlights the strengths and the constraints of agriculture in primary schools and provides sound insight on how to overcome the pathology of weak practices.

| This booklet is a training tool for capacity development initiatives aimed at planners and educators on rural development. It is also a useful tool for university professors, students and researchers of the agriculture rural development and education sectors. This booklet illustrates the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade. It is now better understood that some chemicals as mercury, once they are released into the world, cause toxic reactions, entered the food chain, persist in the environment for years and even decades, and may travel thousands of kilometres from where they were used. How do you deal with such a situation? How do you balance the benefits and risks? To respond to this challenge, the world’s Governments adopted an international treaty in 1998 called the Rotterdam Convention. |

| Many studies in different low-income countries showed that mother’s schooling has a
significant positive impact on child nutrition. This study investigates the direct contribution that mother’s schooling provides to child food security. It analyses the life-skills (e.g. processing information concerning nutrition, health, and hygiene) and productive skills (professional abilities) that are the most relevant channels through which mother’s schooling indirectly contributes to ensure children food security.
This research focuses on rural households living in Mozambique.
The analysis has carried out using data from the Demographic and Health Surveys
(DHS) 2003 on 4,776 rural children with an age below 60 months.
The study is of special interest to school teachers and rural development specialists. It is also a useful tool for university professors, students and researchers of the education sectors. |

The book is a helpful summary of history, theories, literature, experiences and lessons learned about Garden based learning programs (GBL), specifically for basic education.
The document first defines garden based learning and describes how GBL is integrated within educational programmes in both formal and non-formal settings. From the history and the theories of GBL, authors develop how garden based learning is inspired by the concepts of learning-by-doing, project based learning, real world learning and child-centred learning.

| In developing countries the majority of people still live in rural areas. They are typically among the poorest people in the society. Any education system that does not take this into account will not answer to the main problem of poverty reduction. The agricultural output of many Countries is low and with low growth rates compared to other sectors in society. This was also the case in Norway a hundred years ago. The situation in the country gradually changed, and, as we know, Norway is no longer a poor country. There are of course many reasons for this change and history cannot be replicated. But this book draw some parallels from the situation in Norway at the beginning of the 19th century to the situation in African countries today that could be worth looking into, concerning rural education and the impact it had on poverty reduction and on the standards of living for the rural population.

This paper published at CICE Hiroshima University proposes to adopt a “rural lens” for analyzing education issues in countries where the majority of the population lives in rural areas. It examines conceptual and practical implications for the evaluation of ‘rural-sensitive’ education. It presents the Education for Rural People (ERP) flagship initiative as an illustration of a creative scheme to mobilize the international community around a rural agenda for education. |
