Empowering Smallholder Farmers in Africa | Bayer

Today, there are over 450 million smallholder famers worldwide. And this form of agriculture harkens back to a long tradition.

Although smallholders produce crops with limited land and resources, they occupy 70-80% of the total global farmland and produce most of the world's food—meaning they're not so ""small"" after all.

However, smallholders are often caught in a vicious cycle, which leaves them with significantly less productivity compared to their large-scale counterparts.

Learn more about the challenges faced by smallholder farmers in Africa, and discover how Bayer is helping to empower them to accelerate the Smallholder Effect.
