Description

That family farming can meet the Zero Hunger Challenge launched at the Rio + 20 Summit in 2012 is the thesis behind this collection of papers, rich in data and content on issues relating to India and the larger Asia Pacific context.

Presented as background for the Asia-Pacific Regional Consultation commemorating 2014 as the International Year of Family Farming, these papers emphasise the fact that family farming is both a way of life and a means to sustainable livelihood.

Agricultural economists, anthropologists, scientists, academics have come together to bring out clearly the importance of family farming in agriculture, highlighting gender roles as well as mainstreaming nutritional aspects.

Not just strengthening household food, nutrition and livelihood security, family-run farms have helped conserve agro-biodiversity and a wide range of crop varieties, and made seed production and storage a part of their work and culture.

This book will capture the interest of everyone who believes a hunger-free world is not an impossible dream.
