The Brussels Briefing 57 on "Smallholder agriculture: key to food security/nutrition and sustainable food systems", organised by CTA, the European Commission/EuropeAid, discusses smallholder agriculture and its key role in delivering food security/nutrition, and sustainable food systems, as recognised in SDG 2.
Examples of successes from smallholders in various sectors and value chains are used to make the case for further support to smallholder-driven agriculture, with an evaluation of the factors for success, their replicability, and potential for upscaling of best practices.
The main findings and recommendations of the Briefing will also contribute to the discussions of the 43rd session of the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) meeting to be held on 17-21 October 2019 in Rome.
