The transformative potential of the right to food 2014, para. 41
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- For such strategies to succeed, the careful sequencing of actions matters, requiring strong cross-sectoral coordination. For instance, support to small-scale food producers should be paired with investments in local food packaging and processing industries and in food retail, in order to maximize the benefits to the local economy of the growth of the agricultural sector. Support to small-scale food producers should also go hand in hand with investments in the manufacturing and services sectors for the delivery of consumer items, since increased incomes in rural areas have the potential to raise demand for locally traded goods and services: this "consumption linkage" is estimated to be four to five times more important than the "production" linkage between food producers and agro-processing activities. The multiplier effects are particularly significant where agricultural growth is widely spread across large segments of a very poor population.
