Descripción
South Asia stands at a crossroad in its development. The SAARC region represents 24 percent of world population, making it the region with the highest population density.
Family farmers produce 70 percent of the food in the region; still, 66 percent of the world’s poor live in rural South Asia. The region has high food and nutrition insecurity and increased vulnerability to climate change and other shocks. The United Nations Decade of Family Farming (UNDFF 2019–2028) aims at unleashing the potential of family farmers as key agents of change to transform food systems world-wide. Within this framework, the ComDev Asia communication initiative implements a regional campaign to raise awareness on the UNDFF and promote improved communication capacities and services for family farming in the Asia & Pacific region.
