Abstract
Globally, a new school feeding paradigm is emerging; one that incentivises smallholder farmers’ access to reliable markets and boosts their incomes.
Drawing on the Ghana School Feeding Programme and Netherlands Development Organisation’s (SNV) Grain Banks initiative, this paper finds that besides accounting for about half of households’ farm income, the grain banks
approach has a strong potential for boosting farm households food security.
