Agricultural policy shapes investment, technology adoption, and market access for millions of farmers. This course teaches development professionals to design policies that increase productivity sustainably while supporting rural livelihoods.

This course teaches development practitioners to design and advocate for agricultural policies that increase productivity, support sustainability, and strengthen rural livelihoods across diverse farming contexts.
Participants work through policy case studies and design exercises, learning how policy choices shape farmer incentives and agricultural outcomes.
