Farmpedia is an online, free, open-access encyclopedia of sustainable, low cost, gender-friendly solutions to empower small scale (smallholder) farmers in developing nations. The chapters were written by students at the University of Guelph, Canada, starting in 2016. The book is edited by Professor Manish N. Raizada, Department of Plant Agriculture, University of Guelph. The Associate Editor in 2017 was Dr. Jen Wilker. The Editor is grateful to Phelystus Wayeta (Kenya) for publishing assistance. Many of the chapters of this book originated in conversation with smallholder women farmers in Nepal as part of the SAKNepal project, generously funded by IDRC (Ottawa) and Global Affairs Canada as part of a CIFSRF project in collaboration with LI-BIRD (Nepal).
