Small-scale producers are key to wheat production globally, producing roughly one-third of the world’s food. And while the proportion of small-scale farmers varies significantly by country – for instance, they contribute roughly 80% of the food supply in China but only single-digit percentages in Brazil – there are an estimated 608 million family farms worldwide. Learn more about the role of small-scale farmers through this video – part of the FOLUR Impact Program.
