I am currently learning how to construct multi-level network in social network analysis. But I have lack of learning materials, references, or online courses for this, especially ones using R programming as analytical tool. Do you have any suggestion?
By the way, I am working on case study in the field of agriculture and the subjects would be the smallholder individual farmers and external actors.
These may help for the theory part :

2. Social Network Analysis with Applications ,Ian McCulloh, Helen Armstrong, Anthony Johnson
3. Introduction to social network methods, Robert A. Hanneman and Mark Riddle
4. Social Network Analysis in Telecommunications, Carlos Andre Reis Pinheiro
This would be a good start:
