The evergreen revolution aims at achieving productivity in perpetuity without accompanying ecological and social harm. The smallholder family farms with pro-nature, pro-poor and pro-women orientation provide a boost to the evergreen revolution. Revitalization of family farming traditions with emphasis on the empowerment of women and youth will enhance small farm productivity and profitability on the one hand, and nutrition-sensitive agriculture on the other. Family farms enhance the rural livelihoods. Corporate farming displaces three to four jobs for every single job created. Monocropping largely practiced by the corporate farms is not conducive to develop strategies to provide agricultural remedies to nutritional maladies in different agro-ecological regions.
