Family Farming Knowledge Platform

Promotion of family farming

Inades-Formation believes that family farming is the basis for security and food sovereignty of people in Africa. Therefore, the indispensable solution to eradicate hunger and food insecurity in Africa is the support (political, economic, technical and institutional) and the promotion of family farming. By improving its productivity, family farming can feed the thousands of people who suffer from hunger each year in Sub-Saharan Africa.

On the other hand, Inades-Formation believes that family farming better enhances the human capital, creates jobs, slowing the rural exodus and less exhausting natural resources when properly followed. Also, it helps enhance and strengthen technical skills of farmers. Finally, family farming can develop alternative technologies by using agriculture and livestock by-products as soil fertilizer. These technologies allow the practice of clean and sustainable agriculture.
