Small scale big impact. Smallholder agriculture's contribution to better nutrition

This policy brief is part of the advocacy campaign from the UK Hunger Alliance (ACF International, Actionaid, Care, Christian Aid, Concern Worldwide, Oxfam, Save the Children, Tearfund, World Vision) to the G8 which was held on June 17 and 18. The UK Hunger Alliance recommends to the heads of state of the G8 to rise to the ZeroHunger Challenge and to support smallholder farmers in order to achieve such goal. They highlight the role of the smallholders (especially home gardens and livestock) to reduce malnutrition and the specific role of the women.
