Innovative Practice series [0]
Innovative Practice is a series of country case studies from the Regoverning Markets programme providing examples of specific innovation in connecting small-scale producers with dynamic markets at local or regional level. Based on significant fieldwork activities, the studies focus on four drivers of innovation: public policy principles, private business models, collective action strategies by small-scale farmers, and intervention strategies and methods of development agencies. The studies highlight policy lessons and working methods to guide public and private actors.
Included in this series are a set of Policy Innovations -- shorter case studies of policies which have successfully allowed smaller and family-scale producers to compete and gain access to dynamic agrifood markets. A number of these policy case studies were selected and written up in partnership with the International Federation of Agriculture Producers (IFAP [0]).
The Innovative Practice case studies were coordinated by: Julio Berdegué, RIMISP - Latin American Centre for Rural Development, Chile; Lucian Peppelenbos, Royal Tropical Institute (KIT), Netherlands; and Estelle Biénabe, Centre de Coopération Internationale en Recherche Agronomique pour le Développement (CIRAD), France
Innovative Policy series [0]
These are short studies addressing a specific policy innovation in the public or private sector that improves the conditions for small-scale producers to access dynamic markets at national, regional and global level.
Agrifood Sector Studies [0]
These studies look at specific agrifood sectors within a country or region. Research studies have been carried out in China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, South Africa, Turkey, Poland and Zambia covering the horticulture, dairy and meat sectors. The sector studies describe the observed market restructuring along the chains, and the determinants of that restructuring.
The studies were coordinated by: Jikun Huang, Centre for Chinese Agricultural Plicy (CCAP), China; and Thomas Reardon, Michigan State University (MSU), USA
