Dear FSN-Moderator,
This is my contribution regarding Strengthening urban and peri-urban food systems to achieve food security and nutrition in the context of urbanization and rural transformation :
I have been working on agricultural development projects for more than ten years. I have noticed that small farmers and producers in the countryside face many problems, including climate change, which has negatively affected their production using the traditional methods they practice. It resulted in a significant food shortage. He must necessarily involve them in reversing their problems and developing proposals for solutions to them from their point of view, because they are the most knowledgeable about them, and the solutions proposed by them are certain to be the closest and most appropriate to them because the projects implement solutions from scientific and academic points of view at a higher level than their level of understanding. After empowering them, the countryside makes it possible for development and rural transformation to take place in gradual stages. The second point I suggest for development projects is to target the youth segment, especially the educated ones because they will contribute to the required change toward rural transformation more quickly
Can you take it or consider it if possible, otherwise leave it, feel free no problem.
