Everyone should have enough to eat and have access to a healthy and balanced diet. Food should be produced in a more sustainable way and the income of small farmers should grow.
Moving forward
GIZ is supporting Bolivia in achieving lasting improvements to its water security. A visit to the Río Azero valley.
In northern Mali, women smallholders are providing good and healthy food. Thanks to new vegetable varieties, goat farming and improved methods of growing rice, they are enhancing not only their income, but also their standing in the community.
High-quality seed and better knowledge of modern farming techniques are the key to higher yields – and to improving the lives of farming families. GIZ is supporting farmers in Ethiopia to boost their crops.
Modern technology could enable farmers in Ethiopia to achieve far higher yields. Young men and women at a training centre are learning how to use agricultural machinery efficiently and how to manage a farm professionally.
