Book (stand-alone)High-profileThe economic lives of smallholder farmers 2015
Also available in:
No results found.Based on an innovative smallholder-specific dataset, this report illustrates the lives of smallholder farmers in nine developing and emerging countries, using economics to analyze data from rural household surveys. It examines different dimensions of smallholders’ lives: their farm and families; their production and the inputs they use for it; their work both on- and off-farm; their income and how it is made up; their consumption; and, their participation in markets.

The report synthesizes the information from the data together with those from the literature to focus on what smallholders choose and why. -
