This chapter builds on the analysis presented in the previous chapters to identify key messages and recommendations that should be considered at the national, regional and international levels in the quest for a more economically, socially and environmentally sustainable small farm model. The chapter reaffirms the premise that it will be important to reverse the policy neglect of issues related to the profitability and sustainability of the smallholder model if, for the reasons highlighted in chapter 1, smallholders are to be given the attention they deserve. Some examples of successful delivery of smallholder-friendly policies and measures are offered, with a special emphasis on LDCs, so as to illustrate the feasibility of such policies. Many of these measures are the result of multi-stakeholder partnerships, with strong private sector involvement.
