This book will convince the reader to care about fruit and vegetables, and to see that the small-scale production of these crops is fundamental to achieving the sustainable development goals. In five chapters, the reader will learn about the challenges and rewards for producers, sellers and consumers.

* **Chapter 1:** a working definition for fruit and vegetables, making the case for supporting small-scale farmers and value chains.

* **Chapter 2:** options for farm management to ensure that production is sustainable including genetic resources, seed systems, management of water, soil, nutrients, and control of pests and diseases.

* **Chapter 3:** options to integrate small-scale commercial fruit and vegetable farmers into socially inclusive value chains, including innovative post-harvest handling services, market linkages, and reducing food loss and waste.

* **Chapter 4:** options for practitioners and policymakers at different governmental, institutional and social levels to promote the sustainable production and consumption of safe, nutritious and affordable fruit and vegetables.

* **Chapter 5:** key interventions and innovations to facilitate the sustainable production of fruit and vegetables in low- and middle-income countries across the world.
