 3. Leading by Example How cities came to link rural producers with urban food markets in Colombia Due to advocating the local government, more than 2,000 small producers are now able to sell their produce directly in Bogotá, getting better prices for them as well as for urban consumers. ©Jesus Abab Colorado Following decades of conflict and violence, millions of small farmers in Colombia remain economically excluded and trapped in poverty. Many city-dwellers and policy-makers are ignorant of their problems, or are not interested. However, an initiative in the capital Bogotá has strengthened links between rural and urban communities and has demonstrated that small producers can become political and economic actors  and that the small producer economy is not only viable, but can be an important part of the solution to urban food insecurity. To achieve this, small producers, NGOs, and municipal authorities have worked together, building a successful advocacy strategy based on a practical working model of access to markets.    P   r   o   g   r   a   m   m   e    I   n   s    i   g    h    t   s
