QUNO’s Food and Sustainability Programme Representative, Susan Bragdon, has recently published a call-to-action paper “The Time is Ripe for Governments to Strengthen Sustainable and Food-Secure Farming”. The paper calls for the international community to mobilise resources for a more proactive role of the public sector in supporting small-scale farmers, their seed systems and the protection of agricultural biodiversity. Furthermore, the paper urges national governments to engage in consultation with small-scale farmers to identify what they require in order to effectively engage in activities to support the conversation and sustainable use of biodiversity and to achieve secure livelihoods.
