Who feeds the world? The future is in small scale agriculture.


Three stories from Tanzania, Indonesia and Brazil.

Many observers consider them as backward, romantic opponents of progress – those peasant farmers, who still refuse to shift to “modern” agriculture. They don't invest in machinery, newly developed high yielding seeds and chemical fertilizer for the purpose of increasing yields and accessing the global market. These farmers refuse to get into debts and instead remember their traditional knowledge, which has been handed down from generation to generation. Innovative and versatile, they secure sustainable harvests, develop their own markets and contribute to the conservation of the environment.
