Hundreds of millions of smallholder farmers could help feed a growing global population while restoring nature, yet they remain among the least-supported food producers. Whole Earth Farming says the Global South’s roughly 475 million smallholder farms already produce about 30% of the world’s food, despite limited access to finance, markets and training. Author Hugh Locke argues that helping half of these farming families adopt regenerative agriculture and agroforestry could produce the additional food needed through 2050 while improving soils, biodiversity and ecosystems.
