In low income countries the central problem is shortage of food and so it is important that the state
provides assistance to increase production. In most low-income countries, a large proportion (the
majority) of the population relies upon farming for a living in both subsistence farms and small scale
semi-commercial farms. At the same time population size is rapidly increasing and there are few
opportunities for employment outside agriculture. Governments therefore have a need to provide
farms for landless people. There are two ways in which this can be done. Land colinization takes
place when land that is not used for agriculture is reclaimed and the landless settled upon new
farms. Land reform occurs under conditions where much of the land is owned by a small number of
rich landlords and farmed in large units. The land is then purchased or expropriated by the state and
divided up into smaller farms for the landless.

On the other hand, opportunities for improving the environmental performance of agriculture are
largest in countries such as China, where input use is already high and often inefficient, particularly
with regard to water, fertilizers, pesticides, and energy. People are the primary agents of change.
They must be at the center of solutions for concrete action at national to local scales. On one hand
we need to strive to change the behavior of everyone, from the food producer to the consumer,
including politicians and business executives. On the other hand, we need to provide new
opportunities for people - women and youth in particular - to become part of a new sustainable
development movement through attractive job opportunities. That requires equipping people with
the knowledge, skills, new tools and information needed to enact change.

An important way to solve problems is through practical initiatives involving new technologies,
business models, institutional mechanisms, and/or policies that are promising for early action, can
take place in any country, and can also generate learning elsewhere. They need to address various
components of SAI and its enabling systems (Fig. 2-1), but many are connected and must be integral
parts of a systematic approach to SAI, from food production to consumption (Box 4-2). Many
solutions will have to be integrated initiatives designed and implemented in a specific development
or landscape context, in
