Farming Mattters | 30.2 |June 2014
Farming Matters issue 30.2 shows how farmers have experimented, adapted, and improved their resilience to one or more of these shocks. Examples include the development of informal markets for farm produce, making better use of traditional knowledge, and diversifying farming systems with bees and trees. Governments can also assist by providing social safety nets. But governments can do much more, and one significant way would be to correct the imbalances in the global food system that work against the ability of family farmers to break out of the vicious circle.
