Smallholders play a major role in feeding their country's population. I have always been fascinated by their passion and hard work despite their daily challenges. I truly believe that GLOBALG.A.P. and its stakeholders have the potential to make a difference in the world by elevating producers while producing safe and sustainable food for their local market. I am very excited to attend the GLOBALG.A.P. SUMMIT 2024 to discuss the challenges of smallholders and seek collective action!
