dc.descriptionSmallholder farmers, who are primarily family farmers in Asia and the Pacific account for more than 70 percent of the world’s 510 million small farms, contribute to 36 percent of the world’s food and produce 80 percent of the region’s milk and 80-90 percent of aquaculture. Yet, many of them are among the region’s 400 million extreme poor and the nearly one billion people who experience moderate or severe food insecurity. The COVID-19 pandemic severely affects smallholders who face persistent challenges, such as limited access to quality inputs, credit and markets; natural resources degradation; land and tenure insecurity; inability to meet stringent food safety and quality standards for diversification toward higher-value products; and compounding risks (of natural hazards, climate change, pest and diseases as well as conflict). With income drop, lack of credit and restricted movements, many smallholders are not in a position to buy the necessary inputs or are forced to prioritize buying food food for today over seeds for tomorrow. This action sheet presents FAO's COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme's key priority area of “Boosting smallholder resilience for recovery” action sheet for Asia and the Pacific.
