Foreword
HIV/AIDS is creating a
crisis in the rural areas of the countries most severely affected by
this disease. In such areas, a significant proportion of the
population depends on agriculture for subsistence. Up to now, most
of the responses to national HIV epidemics have come from the health
sector. However, owing to the centrality of agriculture in the lives
of rural populations, people are beginning to see that the
agricultural sector has a fundamental role to play in mitigating the
impact of the pandemic.
