Abstract

Reducing poverty and ending hunger depend on mak­ing progress in rural areas, where most of the world’s poor and undernourished live. Since the 1990s, rural transformation in many of the poorest countries has helped more than 750 million people move out of extreme poverty. Boosting smallholder productivity and incomes and creating off-farm employment by developing the downstream segments of food value chains could be keys to achieving the same for those who remain behind. Agrifood system transformation is therefore critical for greater inclusion of smallholder households and other rural people. This chapter outlines a range of policy options to leverage this enormous untapped potential.
