This is Loupa Pius once again.
I generously agree with Arbab Ghulam Qadir's statement (Message 20) about poverty in small farm holders and small livestock keepers. There is concrete need to address poverty living among the small world feeders (small farms). These communities are equipped to come out of poverty including malnutrition aspects. However, we cannot zero our understanding maybe on that it is because they are not utilizing the available resources they have, they are exploiting them more ignorantly and hence they could not be responsible for their own poverty more of it is contributed by their national governments (looking at the programme design).
Poverty is also supposed to focus on the land tenure security of most pastoralists and agro farmers, land, value addition and livestock marketing, government policies in promoting other crop and livestock product is bound to be leading source of poverty in smallholder farmers and livestock keepers. Smallholder (small farms) have answers to keep the world food secure except that they may not be recognized by large scale investors and national governments.
