Socioeconomic and climate change poses severe risks
to the food security of subsistence farmers located
in marginal production conditions. The green revolution
has boosted global food production; at local level
however, small-scale farmers who live in marginal conditions
have benefited only to a limited extent. Those farmers
unreached by the green revolution are targeted with the
conservation strategy referred to as on-farm management
in agricultural production systems. The successful
pathways for working with those marginal farmers facing
crisis due to change are worth learning.
