This open access book discusses the current role of smallholders in
connection with food security and poverty reduction in developing
countries. It addresses the opportunities they enjoy, and the
constraints they face, by analysing the availability, access to and
utilization of production factors. Due to the relevance of
smallholder farms, enhancing their production capacities and
economic and social resilience could produce positive impacts on
food security and nutrition at a number of levels. In addition to
the role of small farmers as food suppliers, the book considers
their role as consumers and their level of nutrition security. It
investigates the link between agriculture and nutrition in order to
better understand how agriculture affects human health and dietary
patterns. Given the importance of smallholdings, strategies to
increase their productivity are essential to improving food and
nutrition security, as well as food diversity.
