 Fruit and vegetables are highly nutritious and essential for human health. However, they are not affordable, accessible or available to many people around the world. We need to empower small-scale farmers to produce fruit and vegetables more sustainably if we hope to end hunger, ensure food security, improve nutrition and contribute to the sustainable development goals. Fruit and vegetables – opportunities and challenges for small-scale sustainable farming developed by FAO and CIRAD in support of the International Year of Fruit and Vegetables provides technical guidance and policy insights for small-scale farmers and value chain actors highlighting practical options to achieve the 2030 Agenda. By supporting the fruit and vegetable sector, we can provide more inclusive, sustainable and resilient agri-food systems for better production and better environment, decent employment opportunities for better life and livelihoods, increased access to high-quality and safe fruit and vegetables for better nutrition and health. Together, we can create a better future. Discover the book and become an advocate for fruit and vegetables yourself.
