Synopsis (short abstract) Smallholders play an important role in agriculture and in rural areas in the countries in South Europe and Central Asia. Furthermore, the countries are still largely dominated by smallholders. Supporting smallholders is one of four priorities for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Europe and Central Asia. As such, during 2018-2019, FAO REU conducted country studies on the needs and constraints of smallholders in eight countries of the region1. A Regional Synthesis Report was prepared based on these studies. The generic needs, constraints and challenges for smallholders were outlined, and policy recommendations were generated.

    Guided by the Global Action Plan of the United Nations Decade of Family Farming 2019-2028, this publication looks into ways that legislation can best support policy processes aimed at advancing family farming’s contribution to the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals. The publication aims to present some of the laws and regulations relevant to family farming to determine the features that can most positively benefit family farmers while providing information and experiences from different parts of the globe for decision-makers and practitioners. The objective not being to provide prescriptions for how to regulate family farming, but rather to present different options to decision-makers, thereby facilitating their appreciation of the complexity of existing legislative and regulatory frameworks that underpin family farming and empowering them for the design of supportive approaches best suited to their respective national context. With the multisectorality of family farming at its core and mindful of family farmers’ overwhelming contribution to nutritiously and sustainably feed the world, this publication analyses legislative processes in 12 different areas that are conducive to the agri-food systems transformation for a better production, better environment, better nutrition and better life for all, leaving no one behind.

    Review of smallholder linkages for inclusive agribusiness development

    The main purpose of this study is to gain insight into “collaborative business models”14 that provide opportunities for smallholder farmers to improve their linkages to markets and that could serve as alternatives to large-scale land acquisitions. This study covers a broad range of business models15 and practices as well as explores key factors that have led to successful and sustainable partnerships. It incorporates existing knowledge, reviews the literature on the topic and presents several examples from Ghana and other countries (Thailand, Uganda and India), where such models have been successful. The desk research was complemented with fieldwork undertaken in-country. Nine case studies of private companies in Ghana that use inclusive business models were developed. Of the nine case studies, six case studies were researched in the field and the three case studies were drawn from a literature review. The nine case studies addressed the following crops: horticult ural crops (pineapple), oil palm, rubber, rice, sorghum and maize. This study does not address food crops, except for traditional export crops such as cocoa and oil palm, as they are seldom grown under contractual arrangements.
