Smallholder Farming

Smallholder farming involves families or individuals managing relatively small plots of land to grow crops or raise animals primarily for their own use and local markets. These farmers often rely on traditional methods, and their farms are typically less than a few hectares in size. They play a vital role in food production, supporting local economies, and maintaining biodiversity. Despite limited resources, smallholders can adapt and innovate to improve productivity and sustainability, making their farms essential for food security and rural livelihoods worldwide.
