How will the world nutritiously and sustainably feed 9.7 billion people by 2050?
Smallholder farmers, the people who grow food in small plots of land generally adjacent to their family home, provide the majority of the world’s food supply. Yet they are most often living in poverty and lacking the financial means and education to access technologies that could immensely increase their efficiency and yield. How might we align incentives to enable smallholder farmers to leverage agricultural technologies to compete in the global market?
