We need to develop nutrition-sensitive agricultural policies in all parts of the world. Together, we can eradicate hunger and malnutrition,&#8221; Joemat-Pettersson told delegates at the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) conference in Rome on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>The minister said South Africa is very optimistic that through support for partnerships such as the Comprehensive African Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP), a strong contribution to agricultural development can be made.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We need to encourage development and implementation of further programmes in agriculture and rural development that promote sustainable production.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Better market information, access to markets, increased investment in research and technology development, and infrastructure remain our priorities,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>The minister said smallholder farmers must be placed at the centre of rural economies, since they represent the majority of the food insecurity in developing countries.<\/p>\n<p>She further said increasing their production and access to markets would improve access and affordability of food amongst the most vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>South Africa will host the 17th Conference of Parties in Durban in December, and Joemat-Pettersson said it is vital to include agriculture, food security and land in the climate change negotiations.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211;
