Farming Systems and Rural Livelihoods Analysis Post-Graduate course | FSRLA | WUR - CGIAR

How can we better understand and support smallholder farming in a changing world? Hear from course participants of the FSRLA 2026 edition about their experience in developing knowledge and skills to tackle this wicked problem! In collaboration with Sustainable Intensification of Mixed Farming Systems (SI-MFS) initiative of the OneCGIAR, the PE&RC graduate school again organizes this field course (previously run in Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Uganda and Ghana) on Farming Systems and Rural Livelihoods Analysis (FSRLA) in rural Africa. The focus of 2026 edition of the FSRLA course is on faming systems in transition, as climate change, population growth, land use change, and changes in markets require a transformation of current food systems. Smallholder farmers in Africa, the chief producers of food for Africa’s rapidly growing rural and urban populations, are faced with great challenges in this transformation process. How can they improve their food security situation, produce more marketable surpluses in a context of rising inputs costs, climate change and increased pressure on land and water?
