11 December 2014. As a contribution to the International Year of Family
Farming 2014, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) organised the Second Session of AgTalks.

The objective of AgTalks is to present the human face of family farming by sharing the latest policy research findings, as well as different viewpoints on smallholder farming. The series aims to bring forward the latest thinking, trends and research regarding policies and innovations in small-scale family farming.

This session benefited from the insights and experience of Nicole M. Mason, Kari Niedfeldt-Thomas and Pablo Tittonell.

Monetary value is often added in countries where crops like coffee beans are processed and not grown. Ugandan entrepreneur Andrew Rugasira, founder and CEO of Good African Coffee, presents the challenges he faced in building an African company that did both by partnering with thousands of poor Ugandan small farmers and providing them with needed training and incentives.

AgTalks is created from presentations recorded at events hosted by IFAD to present the human face of family farming and to bring forward the latest thinking, trends and research regarding policies and innovations in small-scale family farming.
