Presented By: Dr. Joshua Ringer

Event: ECHO International Agriculture Conference 2017 (2017-11-15)

As development practitioners, researchers, and changemakers we are confronted by situations in which armed conflict has torn apart the physical and social structures of societies. Smallholder farmers are deeply impacted and often take part in these conflicts. Rebuilding small holder agriculture in these settings is difficult and complicated. The speaker will explain the impacts of conflict on smallholder farmers and discuss constraints and strategies for assisting farmers and communities to recover from armed conflict. The problem of perpetual low intensity conflict will also be addressed along with suggestions for helping ethnic minority communities retain food sovereignty in post-conflict settings.
