Transition to sustainable production systems
crop-livestock-environment interactions in a changing world

19 – 30 November 2012, The Philippines

-      NFP Fellowships available – apply before 1 May 2012   -

Introduction
Agricultural production needs change. Innovative solutions are a necessity to deal with challenges as diverse as climate change, emerging diseases, and changing urban consumption patterns. By looking at agricultural systems rather than their separate components, these challenges can be addressed in an integral manner. This course looks at how to utilize the combined potential of crop & livestock production systems with a people-planet-profit perspective; how to combine technological solutions with tailor made social innovation. It draws on the strong experience and expertise of both Wageningen UR’s Centre for Development Innovation and the University of the Philippines in Los Baños.

Application
Interested candidates can apply to Wageningen UR Centre for Development Innovation for admission to the training. Click here to apply.
