Full Description
New forms of institutional innovations have emerged recently to provide a response to the numerous constraints that small producers face in rural areas. These innovative organisations and institutional arrangements can provide small producers an array of services including improving market access and strengthening small producers' negotiating power, enhancing access to and management of natural resources and improving access to information and knowledge. There is a need to recognise the critical role of these innovative organizations and institutional arrangements in order to be more effective in poverty reduction and food security efforts.This case study-based publication presents a collection of 35 cases of successful small-scale producer innovative organisations and institutional arrangements, from different regions in the world.
