Children lend help to Kenyan farmers amid coronavirus pandemic (Reuters) 

April 20, 2020


Reuters published an article that described how Kenyan farming families welcome help on the land from young people as schools close. In the 2020 Global Food Policy Report (GFPR), IFPRI highlights the key role of rural farming in tackling hunger, over 60% of people in low-income countries are employed in agriculture and more than 70% of farm units in sub-Saharan Africa are smallholdings. James Thurlow, a senior research fellow at IFPRI, said family farms become even more important for workers in Africa in hard times, both as a source of employment and as a safety net.
