A smallholding is a small farm. Smallholdings are usually farms supporting a single family with a mixture of cash crops and subsistence farming. A smallholding is a plot of land under 20 hectares but it is possible to grow more than enough food for your family with just two hectares. More important than the size of your plot is how intelligently you use it. At Shopbwana.com, we have smallholdings for sale in Lusaka, Livingstone, Chilanga, Chisamba, Kabwe, Ndola, Mpongwe, Mkushi, Kalomo, Choma, Kapiri Mposhi and other towns in Zambia.
Generally speaking, a smallholding is anything smaller than 50 acres, but this covers a wide range of anything from garden-sized plots to holdings spanning multiple acres of land.

One of the best things about a smallholding is its ability to become its own circular economy. If you keep animals or have a lot of vegetable waste, then turn it into manure and compost. Not only will it feed your soil for free, but others will pay good money for anything you don't use.

Can I sell produce from my smallholding? Absolutely! Selling your surplus produce can be a great way to recoup some of your project's start-up costs, and there's always a market for locally-produced food.
Research in the 1970s by John Jeavons and the Ecology Action Organisation found that 4000 square feet (about 370 square metres) of growing space was enough land to sustain one person on a vegetarian diet for a year, with about another 4000 square feet (370 square metres) for access paths and storage – so that's a plot .
Smallholdings are usually farms supporting a single family with a mixture of cash crops and subsistence farming. As a country becomes more affluent, smallholdings may not be self-sufficient, but may be valued for the rural lifestyle.
A smallholding is a small farm with a property in which the smallholder lives, and land on which fruit and vegetables are grown and livestock bred. The amount of land in a smallholding is typically much more than would be found on an allotment plot, but less than in a commercial farm - i.e. between 2 and 50 acres.
