Abstract
Access to land, water, sustainable technology, education, markets, state investment in processing, and above all, access to a level playing field on domestic and international markets: investment in peasants was found by the World Bank (2008) to be among the most efficient and effective ways of raising people out of poverty and hunger. Recent research has also shown that it's smarter for government to subsidize public goods like agricultural research and extension services and irrigation, rather than directing money at private inputs like fertilizer. And research also makes it clear that a world in which everyone gets to eat depends on women's empowerment.
