Presented as background for the Asia- Pacific Regional Consultation commemorating\u003cbr\u003e2014 as the International Year of Family Farming, these papers emphasise the fact that family farming is both a way of life and a means to sustainable livelihood. Agricultural economists, anthropologists, scientists, academics have come together to bring out clearly the importance of family\u003cbr\u003efarming in agriculture, highlighting gender roles as well as mainstreaming nutritional aspects. Not just strengthening household food, nutrition and livelihood security, family-run farms have helped conserve agro-biodiversity and a wide range of crop varieties, and made seed production and storage a part of\u003cbr\u003etheir work and culture. This book will capture the interest of everyone who believes a hunger-free world is not an impossible dream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrilliantly written and well-grounded in real life examples, this collection of Science for Sustainable Development research papers explores in a concise form the role family farming has played in addressing one of the pressing challenges of our age—reducing hunger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— Dr. Daniel Ruiz de Garibay\u003cbr\u003eAsia-Pacific Sector Coordinator, World Rural Forum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFamily farms produce the majority of Asia’s food using, on average, a hectare of land or less a piece. As populations grow, living standards rise, and as populations migrate into cities from rural areas, they will be under more pressure than ever to improve their yields and to withstand climactic and market shocks. At IFAD, we\u003cbr\u003einvest in these smallholder and family farms because we have seen, over and over again, that it is possible for them to meet these challenges. Family farming has proven its potential to be an efficient, lucrative, and environmentally sound business. This publication provides a fresh and much-welcomed perspective on how\u003cbr\u003ewe can better ensure that the business of family farming sustains inclusive rural development for generations to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— Dr. Hoonae Kim\u003cbr\u003eDirector, Asia and the Pacific Region, International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), Rome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"morecontent\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"glossymenu\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"submenu\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eContent in Detail\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eList of Tables, Figures and Boxes\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Contributors\u003cbr\u003eForeword\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
