A farmers’ capacity to access services is often related to the type of
commodity being produced. However, there are examples of farmers’
organizations who prioritize the needs of those rural dwellers with
limited access and control over the resources that will ensure food and
livelihood security.
Experiences from West, East and Southern Africa are used in this
publication to demonstrate how farmers’ organizations have been able
to develop strategies that not only support the needs of emerging
market-orientated farmers but also address the problems of those
within the farming community who – because of gender, ill health or
ethnic status – are isolated from main stream extension services.
The reference section of this publication is particularly important in that
it provides links to publications and websites that explore the factors
that determine the capacity of different groups of farmers to organize
themselves and access the services they need
