Making Small Farms More Sustainable—and Profitable
By: Lino Dias, Robert S. Kaplan and Harmanpreet Singh
Abstract
Smallholder farms provide a large proportion of food supply in developing economies, but 40% of these farmers live on less than U.S.$2/day and their deforestation produces environmental degradation. With a rapidly growing global population, it is imperative to improve the productivity, eco-efficiency, and security of farmers making up this sector. This article presents the results of Better Life Farming, an environmentally-sustainable ecosystem that connects smallholder farmers in India, Indonesia, and Bangladesh to the capabilities, products, and services of agribusiness corporations and NGOs.
