tailieunhanh - Developing sustainable value chains with smallholders

This study gives an overview of the most recent literature on the subject. There seem to be more than a thousand publications. However there are only few field data, especially from studies on soil-water and soil-plant transfer and on the long-term behaviour of conta- minants in soils. Unfortunately there are very little publications in English from some EU-countries. The study gives an overview of the conclusions of various national working groups and makes suggestions on how to direct future research activities. . | The Organic Business Guide Developing sustainable value chains with smallholders by Bo van Elzakker and Frank Eyhorn HELVETAS f Together few ÍI better work 7 INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF Ầ G R 0 ECO LOUli BOLK ORGANIC AGRICULTURE MOVEMENTS UNEP EiơQín05s nschaf CorttẾ-dỂ-ration uiỉ t Cortfedersitcjne SviĩĩẸti Confederwiun svkra Swii Confederation Federal Department of Economic Affairs FDEA Slate Secretariat for Economic Affairs SECO The Organic Business Guide Developing sustainable value chains WITH smallholders by Bo van Elzakker Agro Eco Louis Bolk Institute The Netherlands and Frank Eyhorn Helvetas Organic Fair Trade Competence Centre Switzerland IFOAM and collaborating organisations Helvetas Agro Eco Louis Bolk Institute ICCO UNEP 2010 Published in Germany by IFOAM.
