Some of the SFL projects are aimed at small-scale farmers. Does SFL believe small farmers are more virtuous or entitled to farm?
No. SFL supports pilots to improve the social, environmental and economic performance of food systems at all scales; some involve the livelihood of small farmers, and others involve the practices of very large farms. If much of the agriculture in a place is based on small farms, then we support efforts to improve the farmers lives and farming practices. Where agriculture is based on large farmers, we similarly support improvements in the ways the farming affects both the environment and social well-being.
