Based on my 32 years activity on development of small size farmers in rural areas, I severely believe the most important base of Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems (CFS-RAI) for improving food security and nutrition is as follows:
1. Creation of brilliant and optimist mentality among governmental competent authorities. They must accept and mind improving food security and nutrition in their countries (particularly poor developing countries).
2. Very well organised improvement of rural extension systems with emphasis on the transfer of new knowledge and result of research to small size farmers in the rural areas (in different subjects).
