    The agricultural and food production sector plays a key role in fighting poverty and food insecurity in Moldova, but is facing critical challenges to modernize and integrate into the international market. This paper focuses on smallholder farms, which make up 95 percent of all farms, and explores their potential for growth and the poverty links. Findings reveal that structural change is slow and smallholder farm growth in Moldova is an exception, not the rule.

    Moldova has experienced rapid economic growth in the past decade, which has been accompanied by reductions in poverty and good performance in shared prosperity. Nonetheless, Moldova remains one of the poorest countries in Europe and faces challenges in sustaining the progress. The challenges for progress include spatial and cross-group inequalities, particularly because of unequal access to assets, services and economic opportunities.

    Climate change presents significant
    threats to sustainable poverty reduction in Tajikistan. The
    primary impacts on rural livelihoods are expected to stem
    from reduced water quantity and quality (affecting
    agriculture), and increased frequency and severity of
    disasters. Options for farming households to autonomously
    adapt (and thereby move from climate vulnerability to
    resilience) include adoption of on-farm and off-farm
