dcterms.description | Agriculture remains critical to poverty reduction and growth in most ACP countries, hence it has to raise higher on the development agendas. Family farming has proved to be amazingly resistant in hostile conditions, but the sector still urgently requires revitalisation for improved competitiveness. Besides generating wealth family farming contributes to social cohesion in rural areas and to rural-urban dynamics; it helps to provide food security, to create employment, to curb migration and to manage natural resources. Farmers organisations have an important role to play as partners in policy/strategy development and implementation. | en |
