The central question posed for this Breakout Sub-Session at the GCARD Second Global Conference on Agricultural Research for Development (Punta Del Este, Uruguay, 29 October – 1 November 2012) is "What role smallholder farmers now play and could play in meeting the future needs in food and nutrition security, poverty alleviation and sustainable management of natural resources?".
Smallholder banana farmers are beginning to understand that their old farming methods are contributing to the planet's drying up or suffocating in fields of garbage.

Este estudio apunta a reducir estas brechas de conocimiento al generar información clave que muestre de una forma clara un mapa de la cadena productiva de banano criollo a nivel nacional con los principales actores, además de identificar los principales cuellos de botella que están afectando la eficiencia actual de la cadena. Para esto se está trabajando con dos casos de estudio la Asociación de Pequeños Productores de Talamanca (APPTA) y la Asociación de Campesinos Productores Orgánicos (ACAPRO).
