 Making small-scale farmers a priority is a must. The importance of small-holder farmers is often undervalued. However, small-scale farming is the most common form of agriculture in the world. These farmers account for 70% of food calories produced in Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and South and East Asia. Small-scale farms are often more productive per hectare than much larger farms. Small-scale farmers are also more considerate of the long-term productivity and sustainability of their land. They are protective of the fertility and environmental conditions of soil. They are more likely to grow a wide variety of crops, contributing to agrobiodiversity. They are also catalysts for injecting incomes into the rural economy. Unfortunately, despite being responsible for much of the food consumed around the globe, small-holder farmers and rural populations are disproportionately among the poor and hungry. Therefore, let's see how we can help small-scale farmers. 1. Ensure that markets optimally benefit small-scale farmers. Reduction in food waste will help small-scale farmers to earn decent incomes from selling their goods that are in demand. 2. Encourage public and private investments to link rural and urban areas with better infrastructures and to help small-scale farmers adapt to climate change. 3. Empower women and youth to unleash their potential by protecting their rights and assets and ensuring they have better access to markets, finance, and technology. 4. Introduce relevant policy and planning processes, especially those around food systems in both rural and urban areas. 5. Invest in research and innovation that is affordable, accessible, and appropriate for small-scale production. 6. Provide small-holder farmers with tailored post-harvest tools and tech solutions that are sustained by access to equipment, technical advice, and training.
