Making an agricultural shift in our food system requires tremendous changes at all levels. Part of these changes will come from scientific and technological innovation, but part of these changes, the most crucial part, relate to people’s mindsets and way of working together – including farmers, agri-suppliers, food processors, consumers, policymakers, etc.
Farmers who farm exclusively for home consumption.
If there is a surplus, they will sell it on the market, but this is very rare. Often these farmers are struggling with the basic survival of themselves and their families.
Farmers have greater opportunities that allow them to produce beyond just surviving.
Smaller farmers may be entrepreneurial in spirit but they often lack the security to take risks.
