This fact sheet presents the Sustainable Fish Value Chains for Small Island Developing States (SVC4SIDS)'s programme boosting lobster and tuna value chains potential in the Republic of Kiribati.
The MAF of Timor-Leste launched a transformative initiative to enhance agricultural productivity and planning through the Sustainable Agriculture Productivity Improvement Project (SAPIP). Supported by a USD 21 million grant from the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP), the project aimed to improve smallholder farmers' productivity.
This study aims to 1) describe crises in agri-food systems in the past 10 years, 2) understand their effect on farmers, and 3) address policy options to contain crises, mitigate their impacts in the short-run, and adapt to their presence in the medium- to long-run. The study leverages the context of five value chains – dairy, potatoes, rice, sesame, and sweet potatoes – across three countries supported by GIZ’s Green Innovation Centers (GIC) Project – Burkina Faso, Kenya, and Tunisia.
This Quick Reference Guide complements the “Contract Farming Handbook – A Practical Guide for Linking Small-Scale Producers and Buyers through Business Model Innovation” of the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ). The GIZ methodology provides a hands-on and process-oriented approach for practitioners interested in upgrading existing or developing new contract farming schemes that are inclusive for small-scale producers and their farmer organisations.
The “Green Innovation Centres for the agriculture and food sector” (GIC) project, implemented by the GIZ, aims to enhance the agricultural value chains in various countries by promoting sustainable practices and innovations. The “Atingi”-platform, which was created as part of the project, can be seen as a knowledge hub that provides access to the various knowledge outputs of the initiative.
This book presents a collection of Stories of Change from the DeSIRA Initiative—an EU-funded portfolio of over 80 research and innovation (R&I) projects across 65+ countries. It explores how research contributes to agricultural innovation systems (AIS), not just through results, but by changing the way innovation is supported, governed, and scaled.
