SamenvattingThis paper examines the existing divide between current development policies related to agriculture and those related to drylands and the reality of food production in these, often hostile (physical and economic) environments. It argues that ‘silverbullet’ solutions are unlikely to be successful in such situations and that far more grassroots involvement is required in selecting, developing and experimenting with new approaches to solving the food crisis. The central role of women in food production also needs to be acknowledged and supported if any progress is to be made towards meeting MDG1. This paper points out the challenges and suggestions are made for potential ways forward.
