THE FARMER OF THE PASTEVIDENCE FROM PRESENTATIONS AND DISCUSSIONS SHOWED THAT:
1. FARMING WAS A WAY OF LIFE. FARMING WAS BY FATE AND NOT BY CHOICE
2. THE FARMER: Had little or no formal education Was mall scale Was almost wholly un-mechanised Had multitude of enterprises Used Little or no inputs Had limited access to technology Produced largely for own consumption Was not competitive in local, regional and global markets
WORKKED VERY HARD BUT REMAINS POOR!

PROSPECTS?
One school of thought:
NO! It is impossible! Why? THE MINDSET.1. Their way of life will be disrupted and it may cause a
political and social crisis2. It will cause environmental disaster! Fertilisers, GMO’s!
Machines. Forests and wetlands will disappear3. Oh my God; what will NGO’s do without peasants?! 4. Smallholders are producing organic foods for the rich in
Europe (yet they themselves remain poor!)5. Africans can’t change!

PROSPECTS?
Other school of thought:YES. It is possible. Why? 1. We want to transform a system from low productivity
into a system of higher productivity - not human beings 2. The youth (the future) want change. Chantals!3. Our Governments say so in all their development
documents4. Transformation is already under way5. The task of governments is to manage this
transformation in a way that minimises social risks
