I am Julian Policetti, founder and director of Mother Teresa Rural Development Society, in the district of Nalgonda, Telangana state, India. I am glad to take part in the FAO e-mail conference on "Exploring the contribution of small farms to achieving food security and improved nutrition."

We are working for poverty alleviation through rural development programs like women empowerment and sustainable agriculture as main activities. We form the groups of women and farmers and train them in agriculture to grow various crops. These women and farmers are working as small associations and cooperatives providing various services to the individual and groups of farmers to grow various crops. The products are procured by the groups and cooperatives, store, and make the food grains and vegetables locally in the villages available for the people. The remaining products are sold in nearby markets. The small farmers also bring these products into nearby markets. These products are organic and nutritious and the food is secured for the local people so that it is not gone to the 
middle men, landlords and bigger shops.
