    Organization development (OD) is an important area of capacity development practice to improve food and nutrition security, reduce poverty and promote sustainable development. OD is a powerful instrument that helps to analyse and engage in complex situations or contexts and discover effective ways to promote processes of organizational change. Learning Module 4 is the fourth in the FAO capacity development series. It aims to create a basic understanding of OD and system thinking approa ches, as even a basic understanding can cultivate a new way of working. It reflects the learning experience, constructive inputs and wealth of exchanges from the OD seminar series which was held in FAO between March and November 2012. One of the main pillars underpinning FAO’s efforts to reduce poverty and food insecurity is the empowerment of small-scale producers, men and women to participate in rural development. Smallscale producers, being marginalized and dispersed, are typically un able to seize economic opportunities in the marketplace or influence policies that could affect them. In particular, asymetric asset endowment and unbalanced power with other actors, as well as a lack of information and communication, cause small-scale producers to be excluded from markets, social choices and, in a broader way, development opportunities. However, when rural producers organize themselves into producer organizations and benefit from high-performing public-service organiz ations, they can become active in shaping their path out of poverty and making their voices heard. Well-functioning organizations are therefore critical for rural people to address the complex challenges they face.
