The effects of a private-sector driven smallholder support programme on productivity, market participation and food and nutrition security
Nucleus-outgrower schemes (NOSs) are supposed to be a particularly effective private-sector mechanism to support smallholder farmers and contribute towards mitigating the problematic aspects of pure large-scale agricultural investments.
