[Thanks to Nchendeh Valentine from Cameroon for this first message in the FAO e-mail conference on "Exploring the contribution of small farms to achieving food security and improved nutrition". All messages will be numbered chronologically. If during the conference you notice that you are missing any messages, just contact me at [log in to unmask] ...Moderator].
I am Mr. Nchendeh Valentine, an agriculture and food processing engineer and currently working with the Cameroon Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development as the Divisional Delegate of Agriculture in the Nkam division of the Littoral region. I am a trainer in farmer business school for the GIZ and have experience with a project that deals with improving the competitiveness of family own farming exploitations.
The diversity and abundance of food found in markets for human consumption originate from small farms. Each small or family own exploitation has its culture (history and ethics), aspirations and difficulties, that pushes them to produce a specific type of crops different from other producers leading to the diversity of food available in the market for human consumption thereby affecting directly food security and human nutrition.
