Small Scale Farming is the Answer to feeding the world
On October 16, World Food Day was observed. The theme for this year’s observances was ‘Social Protection and Agriculture’. According to the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations (UN), the choice of topic aims to highlight the role social protection plays in reducing chronic food insecurity and poverty by ensuring direct access to food, or the means to buy food. Social protection is, moreover, a viable alternative for stimulating agriculture. In this context, the role played by farmers is crucial. Farmers are the key actors in the fight against hunger and finding the concrete remedies to address food security and nutrition.
