Abstract
For a long time, HIV/AIDS was viewed as
purely a health issue. Yet HIV/AIDS has implications that
reach far beyond health - including great impact on
agricultural and food production systems. In Sub-Saharan
Africa (SSA), most infected people live in rural areas and
HIV/AIDS has become mostly a rural problem. In largely
rural-based economies, it is unlikely that the epidemic can
be controlled without the effective support of the
agricultural sector, which is in a strong position to assist
in both the prevention and mitigation of HIV/AIDS.
