Despite all development programmes an Start-Up_Phase_for_the_Organic_Research_Centres_Alliance__ORCA__and_Prototype_Centre_on_Humid_and_Sub-Humid_Areas__HUSHA_d good intensions, that number is increasing.

Climate change and the parallel increases in environmental variability, coupled with global economic instability, result in increased vulnerability for smallholders. Agricultural systems based on crop and livestock uniformity are unable to cope with unexpected problems Start-Up_Phase_for_the_Organic_Research_Centres_Alliance__ORCA__and_Prototype_Centre_on_Humid_and_Sub-Humid_Areas__HUSHA_arising on the farm or in volatile food markets.

Most of them live in developing countries. The market value of organically certified produce, now more than USD $46 billion annually, has sustained steady annual growth for two decade Start-Up_Phase_for_the_Organic_Research_Centres_Alliance__ORCA__and_Prototype_Centre_on_Humid_and_Sub-Humid_Areas__HUSHA_s, increasing by 10 percent in 2009 despite the global financial crisis. Market-marginalized farmers are increasingly adopting organic agricultural prStart-Up_Phase_for_the_Organic_Research_Centres_Alliance__ORCA__and_Prototype_Centre_on_Humid_and_Sub-Humid_Areas__HUSHA_

For example, organic agriculture:•Gives smallholders a fair chance to access an economically attractive market while also improving household food security;•Optimizes farm output while using fewer capital inputs and increasing Start-Up_Phase_for_the_Organic_Research_Centres_Alliance__ORCA__and_Prototype_Centre_on_Humid_and_Sub-Humid_Areas__HUSHA_ labour productivity and employment in marginalized market areas and those with low-potential;•Attracts women farmers who build on their traditional aStart-Up_Phase_for_the_Organic_Research_Centres_Alliance__ORCA__and_Prototype_Centre_on_Humid_and_Sub-Humid_Areas__HUSHA_
