Smallholder Farms
Smallholder farms are small agricultural operations typically managed by individual families or small groups. These farms usually cover less than two hectares and focus on growing a variety of crops and raising livestock for both subsistence and local markets. Smallholder farmers play a crucial role in global food production, contributing significantly to the economy and food security in many regions.
These farms often rely on traditional farming methods and local resources, which can lead to sustainable practices. However, smallholder farmers may face challenges such as limited access to technology, credit, and markets, impacting their productivity and income.
