Smallholders and agricultural workers are particularly affected by hunger. At the same time, they contribute to a large part of global food security and produce export goods for the world market. The geographer Dr. Rafaël Schneider is the deputy head of the policy department at Welthungerhilfe explains how the Food Security Standard can improve the living conditions of smallholder farmers.
The Food Security Standard (FSS) takes into account the Right to adequate Food in agricultural production. Applying the FSS in sustainability certification systems ensures that farmers, workers, and neighbouring communities are food secure.
Welthungerhilfe is one of the largest private aid organisations in Germany, independent of politics and religion. It was established in 1962, as the German section of the “Freedom from Hunger Campaign”.
Meo Carbon Solutions is an independent consulting company with a focus on sustainable development solutions, smallholder empowerment and social compliance, sustainability certification and carbon footprint improvement. Meo is working on a global scale and supporting the application of the FSS.
