Descripción
After the land reforms of the 1990s, transition countries of Europe and Central Asia became an area of smallholder farmers. Smallholders and family farms are an important factor for regional food security. However, a large number of them are not economically viable and, in most countries, rural people remain the most vulnerable section of the population. Smallholders can achieve higher levels of productivity and income through sustainable intensification of production, better organization, adequ ate services and integration into agri-food value chains. Getting family farming right is key to enhancing food security, achieving sustainable growth in rural areas, and making inroads against rural poverty.
