Produktbeschreibung
Although recognized as a powerful tool to fight against rural poverty, family farming and small-scale agricultural production in Africa is in a more vulnerable situation because of persistent inequalities between men and women to access productive resource for example arable land.

The immediate answer is yes because African countries have a strong expertise on the issue and can play an important role in agricultural policy for good governance and sustainability.
