| dc.description | The agriculture and natural resource sectors present a unique opportunity to combat the HIV/AIDS epidemic in predominantly rural economies. Up to 80 percent of the population in some African countries depend on subsistence agriculture; crops, livestock and other natural resource products are the mainstay of economy and export earnings; and agriculture, forestry and fisheries provide vital safety nets. In other regions of the world, the sectors still account for the livelihoods of a siz able proportion of the population, ranging from 50 60% in Asia to 15 30% in Latin America and the Caribbean. The purpose of the guide is to enable extension workers and development agents to contribute to addressing the rural epidemic through agriculture and natural resource sector initiatives. | |
