Genesis

It involves many dimensions and challenges, requiring an inter-disciplinary approach, which may not be possible to be addressed by individuals acting alone or by singleinstitutions and organisationsand by viewing issues solely from any particular level, region, or country. Further, despite the abundance of best practice examples, and the wealth of initiatives,success stories, innovations, projects, programmes, organisational structures, institutions, opinions, and research related to rural issues that exist, there arefew common platforms to present these and advocate towards policy reform for sustainable rural development.
