چکیده
The great majority of the population in the countries most affected by HIV/AIDS live in rural areas. In many African countries, farming and other rural occupations provide a livelihood for more than 70 per cent of the population. Hence, it is to be expected that the HIV/AIDS epidemic will cause serious damage to the agriculture sector in those countries, especially in countries that rely heavily on manpower for production. The present chapter explores the issues related to the impact of HIV/AIDS on agriculture. First, a conceptual framework for analysis of the impact of HIV/AIDS on agriculture is presented, based on previous work by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), followed by a presentation of the evidence available on the impact of HIV/AIDS on agriculture.
