Abstract
Agrifood market restructuring is occurring rapidly in most countries, and substantial restructuring at the retail and food industry level is not always matched at farm-level. The modernization of procurement systems in supply chains needs to include small-scale farmers’ growth opportunities. The work of the Regoverning Markets programme responds directly to this challenge. This policy brief describes the design of an international research and policy development programme, which aims to identify the keys to inclusion of small-scale producers in modern and dynamic domestic and regional markets. It also presents the emerging findings and their implications.
