In developing countries the majority of those in poverty live in rural areas and supporting rural livelihoods, sustainable agriculture, natural resources management and economy is critical for pro-poor development. The challenges presented by globalisation and changes in food value chains require action both in the UK and in developing countries if farmers are to be able to maintain and improve their livelihoods.
