Cet article reprend des travaux de prospective réalisés sur l’Afrique de l’Ouest. Il souligne la tendance à l’augmentation de la taille et à la concentration des exploitations agricoles. Selon les auteurs, cette évolution nécessitera pour l’agriculture familiale une transition vers une vocation plus commerciale.

This thesis is situated in this field of inquiry and studies entrepreneurship in agriculture. It explores how we can further develop both agriculture and sustainable rural areas. Farmers have traditionally played a significant role in rural areas and rural development, and still do. However in pace with societal development and the reduced number of farms and farm production, their role has changed. Today, they are considered as raw material producers, being the first link in a food chain, and active in landscape conservation in the countryside.
The presentation was given in January 2009 and introduced why a new approach for livestock development for poverty alleviation was desirable, innovation, innovation systems and value chains, building of innovation platforms, learning-oriented monitoring and evaluation, and scaling up and out.
This presentation was given at the CIDA Stakeholders’ Workshop, ILRI, Addis Ababa, 2 May 2012. It introduced the value chain concept, value chains and marketing channels, business development services, and value chain upgrading.
Market opportunities are increasing at a rapid pace for livestock products, fuelled by rising incomes, globalisation and urbanisation, particularly in the developing world. At the same time, these opportunities bring increased complexity in the supply channels that market, distribute, organise and govern high-value products. This begs the questions on the ability of smallholder producers to contribute to this complex process.
Increasingly, value chain approaches are integrated with multi-stakeholder processes to facilitate inclusive innovation and value chain upgrading of smallholders. This pathway to smallholder integration into agri-food markets has received limited analysis. This article analyses this integration through a case study of an ongoing smallholder dairy development programme in Tanzania.
The objectives of this manuscript are threefold; to provide a financial, and thus formal, definition of value added; measure value addition by firms across the four nodes/stages of the value chain; and third to test hypotheses as to the drivers of value creation that differ across the four nodes.First was defined value creation/
À partir d’une expérience de valorisation d’un produit par l’origine, la viande de bœuf produite dans les prairies de la Pampa brésilienne, notre article propose d’analyser la capacité des acteurs locaux à élaborer et mettre en œuvre des dispositifs, leur permettant de répondre aux enjeux du développement durable.
