Esta presentación tiene como objetivo introducir a la audiencia el concepto de cadenas de valor, haciendo especial énfasis en los cambios a los que estas cadenas están expuestas en el tiempo (por ejemplo cambio climático, cambios políticos, etc). A través de un ejemplo práctico, la audiencia podrá identificar qué factores pueden influenciar el desempeño de una cadena de valor y cómo los diversos actores de las cadenas de valor pueden reaccionar a dichos cambios.
El informe está estructurado en tres partes:
• la primera parte trata de la adaptación de la agricultura familiar a los cambios climáticos y de las condiciones de la adaptación; • la segunda parte aborda el lugar que ocupa la adaptación de la agricultura familiar en las políticas públicas;
• la tercera parte propone algunas recomendaciones para una mejor integración de este tema en las políticas públicas.
Una presentación de los tres estudios de caso-países figura también en anexo.
