Using evidence from southern and northern countries he demonstrates that small farms are `multi-functional' - more productive, more efficient, and able to contribute more to economic development than large farms. He analyses the threats posed to small farmers by today's trade liberalization and concludes with a call to unite against an Agreement on Agriculture that might make their continued existence impossible. - Reproduced
