Family farming and the fight against poverty - Sustainable family farming generates products that nourish much of humanity as well as contributes substantial income to support the livelihoods of family farmers. However, family farming is not always recognised and supported for its crucial role in the fight against food insecurity and poverty. This issue of Agridape explores the performance and resilience of smallholder agriculture through a series of examples that demonstrate different ways in which family farming can alleviate poverty and the type of support that is necessary.
