Abstract:

In this module your main task is to plan and carry out a set of activities with selected households in the community to help them gain a good understanding of their current and possible future use of natural resources in their area. Why is this important? As people become informed and take actions to manage their use of resources responsibly to obtain food, they will be able to sustain themselves and their families, break the cycle of poverty and protect the environment at the same time. To prepare you for working with households, you will learn about the issues around the use of natural resources and strengthen your ability to use some participatory techniques and methods. What you learn in this module will also help you with Module 5 when you start a homestead garden, and with Module 6 when you look at optimising household food production.
