This deliverable is a report on the main methodological steps implemented in the framework of the Small Farms, Small Food Business and Sustainable Food Security (SALSA) project in task 2.3 of Work Package 2 (WP2) to produce the Output 3, which is a crop type map in small farms context in each reference region (see D.2.4 report pag. 5).
This deliverable is a report of the work done in the framework of the Small Farms, Small Food Business and Sustainable Food Security (SALSA) project in task 2.3 of Work Package (WP2) as defined in the description of work (DOW) of the SALSA project. The title of the task according to the DOW is Task 2.3 - Small farms characterization in the reference regions.
This document presents the small farm typologies developed from SALSA's sample (n=892) and provides a detailed comparative analysis on the key characteristics and livelihood strategies of each of the types, identifying similarities, differences and trends.
This document presents an in-depth comparative assessment of the local and regional food systems analysed in SALSA. Its aim is to improve the understanding of the current and potential role of SF in regional Food and Nutrition Security (FNS). This deliverable is a synthesis report on the main insights gained from the analysis completed for the 30 reference regions.
This document presents the set of thirty Food System Regional Reports developed within WP3 of the SALSA project. This is the first out of the three deliverables planned for this WP.
The project Small Farms, Small Food Business and Sustainable Food Security (SALSA) intends to assess the role of small farms and small food business in terms of food production and food security. One important first step in doing this is to test and develop methods and tools able to produce accurate and useful information about small farms.
It is clear that any definition of a small farm needs to be based on national and regional realities. Definitions involving only the criterion of farm size have universal appeal as they are relatively easy to apply and allow simple comparisons across countries and world regions. However, they don't capture all the complexities of farming. Definitions involving additional criteria to farm size are more meaningful, particularly those including indicators of the farm economic output, but data availability is often a limitation (Ruane, 2016).
El presente artículo tiene como objetivo principal, analizar la cadena agroalimentaria de conservas de tomate natural en la provincia de Matanzas. En la actualidad existen deficiencias en el abastecimiento de alimentos en las cadenas cubanas, se hace necesario mostrar una solución inmediata para elevar la producción y disminuir las brechas en la logística que une la producción primaria con las redes comercializadoras, para ofrecer los alimentos frescos o procesados a los consumidores.
Se consideró pertinente hacer un análisis sobre las principales cadenas productivas del estado de Zacatecas, pensando en el dinamismo y otros factores que pueden modificar la importancia de estas cadenas. En el aspecto metodológico se hizo una jerarquización de las variables de acuerdo a criterios ponderados en cadenas agropecuarias para identificar cuál de estas son estratégicas para Zacatecas. Este estudio consideró solamente dos dimensiones: la importancia socioeconómica y la competitividad.
El presente artículo expone una propuesta metodológica para el análisis de la competitividad de Redes de valor agroindustriales. El planteamiento metodológico consiste en tres etapas de análisis circunscritas dentro del Marco Lógico: el diagnóstico de la Red sustentado en las ventajas competitivas y el análisis de las mega tendencias del entorno basado en el método prospectivo estratégico y los modelos de negocios; definición del problema central y su relación causal; y la definición de acciones estratégicas.
