Previous work by Coordination SUD’s Agriculture and Food Commission has highlighted the advantages of family farming in meeting the challenges facing developing countries. These challenges are: – responding to tense food situations and sustained population growth; – fighting poverty and inequalities; – occupying a large labor force, notably in rural areas; and – preserving natural resources.
The existing structural link between economic activities and the family structure explains small farmers’ ability to employ a large labor force to exploit the other available production factors (land and capital) in an optimal manner. Family farming’s local anchorage is crucial to the economic animation of rural areas; it results in a strong concern for preserving soil fertility and natural resources and in better management of agrobiodiversity.
