Small-scale African farmers produce 70 per cent or more of their countries’ food supplies but are among the most vulnerable to hunger. Many factors contribute to this problem, but an important part of the solution is to share knowledge of how to derive greater benefits from the agricultural “value chains” to which small-scale farmers are connected. A value chain is the sequence of activities that take place to bring a product or service to market. By choosing the right planting materials, harvesting at the right time, processing and storing produce carefully, and negotiating with different buyers, small-scale farmers can cultivate more food for their families and generate more income from the produce they sell.
