SNIPPET: Thursday, October 16, 2014 In The Gambia more than 90 per cent of farms are based on subsistent farming run by families and many subsistent family farmers, globally, are part of the world’s food-insecure population, the director general of Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) has said. Jose Graziano da Silva, in a statement to mark World Food Day, 16 October, said the 90% of family farms in The Gambia provide 60% of the food for the family; they care and protect the natural resources as well. “Yet many family farmers, especially subsistence producers, are part of the 70 per cent of the world’s food-insecure population who live in rural areas,” he said. “This means that family farmers still have a great potential they can fulfill with the right support.” http://thepoint.gm/africa/gambia/article/more-than-90-of-gambian-farmers-part-of-worlds-food-insecure [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
