Resumen
Descripción
There are more than 85% of the world’s farms are smaller than 2 hectares and more than 500 million family-owned farms globally.
Farms, especially family farms, are highly diverse and generally have limited capital to invest unless they mobilize their own labour force (human capital). Unequal access to assets (natural, physical, social, human or financial) means farmers have varying ability to engage in different types of on- and off-farm activity. To be inclusive, we need to better target investment for all types of farm. If we are to leave no one behind, we must improve our knowledge of small-scale family farming. The type of investment we make today will shape the agricultural systems of the future.
