Extension of SPFS activities is taking place gradually, with several countries now starting work at new sites and diversifying into new activities, such as aquaculture and poultry rearing. In many developing countries women produce well over half the basic foods. Despite this they only benefit from around 5 percent of agricultural extension services. Good quality seed alone can increase production by 15 to 25 percent. The SPFS News page will be regularly updated to keep readers informed of progress in the field.
