Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: Food insecurity and under-nutrition remain pressing problems in the developing world. Despite their direct contribution to food production, small-scale farmers and their households are disproportionately vulnerable to hunger. How then can smallholder agriculture that is sustainable contribute to improving food security and reducing under-nutrition?
