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.”
