Intervention by IFAP President Ajay Vashee in Roundtable Four of the World Food Summit 2009 on Measures to Enhance Global Food Security: Rural Development, Smallholder Farmers and Trade Considerations![]() This Round Table is focused mainly on agricultural and trade policies. However, many farmers in developing countries do not participate in markets and trade since they are subsistence farmers. The world’s poverty is concentrated in the rural areas. And paradoxically, it is in the rural areas where most of the world’s hunger is to be found too. The 1 billion hungry people in the world exist outside the market economy. They have no purchasing power to express their needs in the market – so who is producing for them? No one; they need to be able to produce for themselves. Year: 2009
