Hi everyone,

Here is the last input received on topic #3 "Strategies used by small farms to overcome challenges – a view of the past"

As mentioned before, some of these inputs might be quite short, but we still want to distribute them to the group

Q3.1/10 - Question "3.1.  Identify the three main challenges which small farms, in your region, have faced in the recent past."

The main challenges I see are:

- Restrict access to major distribution channels
- Lack of financial resources

From: Boyko Doychinov <[log in to unmask]> (Bulgaria)
The main challenges are:
1. Low Competitiveness
2. Lack of marketing and logistics

The main challenges I see, are:
- Fluctuation of rain and

Q3.2/6 - Question "3.2.  Share specific examples of what types of adaptations and innovations have helped small farms to cope with these challenges."

From: Yoanna Ivanova <[log in to unmask]> (Bulgaria)
The main examples of adaptation and innovation, I see are: Organic food production and the revival of the farmers markets in Bulgaria, to help small farms to cope with some challenges.

From: Sami Elhag <[log in to unmask]> (Sudan)
These are the main examples I see, as adaptations and innovations:
The adoption of chisel plow to harvest more water.
