Strategy involves determining target areas and populations, calculating the potential and capacities of these targets, and developing appropriate programmes - in cooperation with targeted populations - to promote the necessary capacities to meet the needs and demands of the target areas and populations selected. Once these basics are determined, complementary actions need to be undertaken, viz.:
Design differentiated strategies to reduce poverty and food insecurity.
Pursue approaches that recognize diverse livelihoods.
Implement programmes to strengthen producer capacity.
Focus on development of human and social capital.
Establish social safety nets to enhance food security of the very poor.
