About the South African Research Chair in Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS) Scholarships

The Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS) does research, policy engagement, teaching and training about the dynamics of chronic poverty and structural inequality in Southern Africa, with a particular emphasis on the key role of restructuring and contesting land holding and agro-food systems in the subcontinent and beyond. Their mission emphasises the central importance of the agro-food system in creating and perpetuating poverty — and also in eradicating it.

The South African Research Chair in Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies is funded by the National Research Foundation and recruits, supervises and supervises master's, doctoral and post-doctoral students. The Chair is located at the Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS) at the University of the Western Cape.
