The share box will contain temporary links to the pdfs of papers and books that I will put there as a follow-up to conversations I have had with people at international events. Often-times business-cards are exchanged and promises are made but once back at the office the cards end up in a drawer and the promises are forgotten. The share box is trying to do something about this. The first part of the sharebox, however, provides access to readings students of Gothenburg University’s ESD100 OnLine Masters Course need.

CTA (www.cta.int) workshop on re-orienting tertiary agricultural education towards sustainability and food security (September 2012).

Below are some resources that go along with a so-called CTA Policy brief that will appear on-line at the end of 2012. The peer reviewed CTA Policy Briefs address a broad range of agricultural and rural development-related issues. With colleagues Martin Mulder and Natalia Eernstmann I wrote a brief on: “How to educate in a Changing World? Towards Competence-based Tertiary Agricultural Education?”.  Below are some resources that are related to this and can be downloaded for personal use by clicking on the publication.

Abstract: Key objectives of the transition towards a more integrated rural development include; raising the level of economic performance in all sectors of the rural economy, promoting viable rural communities, maintaining the indigenous cultures, protecting the environment, and conserving the natural features and appearance of the landscape. The European Union has been developing its policy for rural development laying stress on an integrated approach, simplification and sustainability. These developments throw up numerous challenges for the agricultural and forestry education sectors. European institutions in higher agricultural education have a mission in helping rural society grow and develop sustainably by co-creating the new skills, competencies and knowledge, as well as by designing inspiring contexts for learning which will alow such skills, competences and knowledge to develop meaningfully. This book represents the results of a two-year inter-institutional journey that focuses on the development of education and training for integrated rural development. Using an on-line survey, document analysis, the outcomes of a number of workshops and four carefully selected case studies, the authors generated a number of stepping stones for curriculum development in this emerging field.
