Smallholder farmers play a key role in achieving global food security and building stronger food systems and are responsible for producing as much as one-third of the world’s food. Despite this, many smallholder farmers are not only food insecure themselves, but their vital food production often faces big challenges such as lack of access to technical expertise and equipment, affordable financing, market information and climate change, among many others. The Farm to Market Alliance (FtMA) is a public-private consortium of agriculture-focused organizations dedicated to making markets work better for farmers.
