Increase the agricultural productivity of food-insecure farmers [Recommendation three]

The world faces a major conundrum: food has never been more abundant, yet

852 million people go hungry. Highly productive agriculture in the developed

countries has ensured that the world has plenty of cheap food. This has led

some people to question the need to increase the productivity of smallholder

farming in developing countries. They argue that the solution to world hunger

lies simply in the global redistribution of food from food surplus countries to

deficit areas in developing countries.
