In response, WFP has developed models that combine wide partnerships, innovative solutions and context-specific support for smallholders and their national governments, with systemic impact in value chains and broader food systems. These efforts target both men and women farmers: research suggests that if women farmers had the same access to productive resources as men, the higher yields could lift up to 150 million people out of hunger.

Our smallholder programmes include Purchase for Progress (P4P) and the private-sector focused Farm to Market Alliance, both of which encourage investments that connect smallholders to markets, help diversify their crops and broaden their business prospects. Another, Home-Grown School Feeding, aims to source the food for national school meal systems from domestic smallholder production. Under Purchase from Africans for Africa, run in partnership with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), we match demand from the continent’s public institutions with the offer of local smallholders and farming associations. All these programmes complement our established forms of support to the most vulnerable and food-insecure farming communities – whether food assistance, training and asset building, or climate-themed approaches – such as the Rural Resilience Initiative (R4), Food Assistance for Assets.

Smallholder farmers in over 40 countries are benefiting from our agricultural market development work. The objective is to strengthen and sustain their ability to do business, while supporting governments’ capacity to design policies with their interests in mind. Such coordinated efforts are helping turn today’s recipients of food assistance into tomorrow’s food suppliers.
