Answer:
Small and marginal farm holder families constitute more than half of the national population. We cannot ignore their contribution to the national food supply and to agricultural GDP. Policies and programs to lessen poverty and food insecurity, and to enhance equity and sustainability of incomes and livelihoods, should thus seek to achieve an agriculture-led broad-based economic development through present situation of small-scale agriculture.
In view of this, the questions are enumerated here to have views from the RG participants:
1. Is the continuance of low agriculture productivity a consequence of the smallness of the preponderant majority of the nation’s farms? . . .. or may the productivity of those small farms be so increased as to allow the small-holder families - and the nation with them - to escape from hunger and poverty?
2. What could be the interventions to empower small-holders to access the crucial production resources. These resources are several: land, water, energy, and credit; appropriate technologies, and opportunities to develop the skills and to access the information wherewith to use them; functional and fair markets for products and inputs, risk management in the impact of climate change (drought, flood, hailstorm, heavy rain, ) and social services.
3. Given the national and international policies that facilitate access to such resources, there would be confident expectation that small-scale agriculture could and would achieve higher production and income and that the livelihoods of small-holder families and communities would be enhanced.
