About the NUS Curriculum

 

This seven-course series curriculum equips participants with competences required to transform Neglected and Underutilized Species (NUS) into sustainable careers, commercial enterprises, and resilient food systems. Developed by African university experts and global partners, and hosted asynchronously on the RUFORUM e-Learning Platform (REP), each self-paced course awards its own certificate of completion and offers flexible adoption options for higher education institutions, whether deployed as standalone credentials, embedded into degree programmes, or used as core supplementary resources.

Target Audience
  • Learners - Undergraduate, Masters and PhD students and graduate teaching assistants, especially in agriculture, food, nutrition, environment and agribusiness programmes.

  • Beyond universities - Open to any interested institution, student or extension worker, including those outside the network.
