progress requires a strong understanding of diverse farming methods and a
range of options for small-scale farmers rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
In Africa, women grow 80 percent of the food, but are marginalized in formal
agricultural knowledge and science. How can these issues be addressed by
leveraging the diverse experiences of the poor?
