The Artdog Image(s) of Interest
Most of December's Images of Interest have focused, using quotes from several sources and infographics from Bayer, on the massive economic importance of smallholder farmers worldwide.
Smallholder farms are tiny, only two hectares or less, yet in many places they provide the majority of their communities' food. They'll face increasing challenges in the future, to keep up with demand. Even as governments, large corporations, and NGOs seek ways to help them, it's vital that we listen to them, and include them in any "solutions" we try to apply.
IMAGES: Many thanks to DoubleQuotes, for the quote from Bill Gates, and to Bayer for the infographic on challenges faced by smallholder farmers.
