Recommendation 6
6
UK poverty alleviation tools need greater sensitivity to smallholder farmers' vital role.
Recommendation
Smallholder farmers in low-income countries are vital players in sustainable food systems. We welcome some of the steps taken to assess the impact of new trade deals on low-income countries. Currently, though, there is more to be done to ensure that the range of tools the UK has to alleviate poverty are sensitive to the role smallholders have to play, and the factors that determine their success or failure.
