Thank you HLPE project team for such an enormous task you accomplished. My only contribution is regarding promotion of bee farming or honey production, as it may. This industry has potential to contribute directly to improved nutrition through domestic consumption of the honey and income generation through honey sales. To promote the industry, land that is not suitable for agricultural production and has been left fallow over years in Africa could be turned into bee farms. Disused mining land could also be turned into massive bee farms.  There are  a number of possibilities within bee farming for smallholder farming households in Africa.
