Success stories from small-scale farmers are often hard to find. They do exist, and there is much to be learnt from them. They can help improve productivity, generate income, and empower farmers.

The AgriCultures Network produces magazines and other media to build knowledge and exchange information, and stimulates debate and concerted action among key stakeholders. In this way we promote sustainable family farming, stressing its capacity to address structural global problems such as hunger, poverty, environmental degradation and climate change.

broker logo Discussion: Any future needs family farming
With the World Food Summit in Rome in November and the Conference on Climate Change in Copenhagen in early December, climate change and hunger are once again hot topics. Agriculture is at the heart of both. Official delegations, civil society, businesses and farmers are asking: what type of agriculture do we need? Can any type feed everyone or should we decide which is best?
Please put your view on the Blog of The Broker magazine.
