Smallholder farmers play an essential role in agricultural production. While more than 500 million family farms support to feed the global population, smallholder farmers are generally vulnerable to food insecurity and other development challenges. Please join us for a conference addressing best practices for gaining knowledge from and working with smallholder farmers. This one-day conference will provide discussions on new, field research to inform and impact U.S. policymakers and other counterparts in global agriculture development.
