It addresses the opportunities they enjoy, and the constraints they face, by analysing the availability, access to and utilization of production factors. Due to the relevance of smallholder farms, enhancing their production capacities and economic and social resilience could produce positive impacts on food security and nutrition at a number of levels. In addition to the role of small farmers as food suppliers, the book considers their role as consumers and their level of nutrition security. It investigates the link between agriculture and nutrition in order to better understand how agriculture affects human health and dietary patterns. Given the importance of smallholdings, strategies to increase their productivity are essential to improving food and nutrition security, as well as food diversity. 606 $aAgricultural economics 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aFood?Biotechnology 606 $aAgricultural Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W47000 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 606 $aAgriculture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006 606 $aFood Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C15001 610 $aAgricultural Economics 610 $aDevelopment Economics 610 $aAgriculture 610 $aFood Science 610 $aSmallholder Farms 610 $aFood Security 610 $aNutrition 610 $aDeveloping Countries 610 $aOpen Access 610 $aSustainability 610 $aFood Diversity 610 $aAfrican Agriculture 610 $aSub-Saharan Africa 610 $aAgricultural science 610 $aAgribusiness & primary industries 610 $aDevelopment economics & emerging economies 610 $aFood & beverage technology 615 0$aAgricultural economics. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aFood?Biotechnology. 615 14$aAgricultural Economics. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aAgriculture. 615 24$aFood Science. 676 $a338.1 700 $aGomez y Paloma$b Sergio$4edt$0597465 702 $aGomez y Paloma$b Sergio$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRiesgo$b Laura$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLouhichi$b Kamel$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910404112403321 996 $aThe Role of Smallholder Farms in Food and Nutrition Security$94175493 997 $aUNINA
