This book is based on the work of the Regoverning Markets Programme (2005-2008), an intensive multi-partner collaborative research and policy support program. The Programme examines the keys to inclusion into agrifood systems under different degrees of restructuring. It works on deepening the research on implications and opportunities for small-scale producers and SMEs. It tries to understand what is the best practice in connecting small-scale producers with dynamic markets. and brings these findings into wider policy arena. Overall, the programme provides strategic advice and guidance to the public sector, agrifood chain actors, civil society organisations and development agencies on approaches that can anticipate and manage the impacts of the dynamic changes in local and regional markets.
This book is a compilation of research done in Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines.
