Food security, natural resource quality and sufficient household income to live a healthy and happy life are preconditions for sustainable rural development in the south. [Research for Development] contributes to rural development through knowledge and technologies.

We are a network of professionals with practical experiences in natural resource and social change mangement.

We work with civil society, governmental organisations, the private sector and farmer groups in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

We generate and exchange knowledge and technologies for sustainable rural development.
