Increased demand for food, driven by population growth, rising incomes and urbanization has further exacerbated pressure to easy access to natural resources, such as fertile land, water and energy. Land degradation and water scarcity are worsening. Production inefficiencies and waste further add to the problem. There is need to effectively manage and use land, water and energy resources for sustainable production, productivity and environmental protection. Smallholder agricultural interventions improve access to natural resources, productive inputs, technologies, financial services and markets, and increase employment opportunities for small family farmers. A prosperous agriculture sector requires innovative technological practices, vivacious markets and investment.
