Women constitute the majority of farmers and producers yet face a significant number of gender-specific constraints that restrict their productivity. Creative approaches to investing in women will mean maximising productivity across the entire workforce and through the value chain. As part of a series of topic briefs on the New Business Models for Sustainable Trading Relationships (NBMSTR) project, Sourcing Gender: Gender Value Chains for Productivity in Sustainable Sourcing Strategies describes the business opportunities of working with women in agriculture and provides an actionorientated set of recommendations.

It presents detailed case studies of seven projectsin Africa that have adopted measures to improve opportunities for women in smallholder-based supply chains. These case studies provide additional and more detailed examples of the recommended actions contained in Sections 3 through 6 of the guide, thereby helping to provide further practical guidance and inspiration to food companies that wish to take action to support women producers in their supply chains. Appendix 1 is written for all international food companies that have smallholder producers in their supply chains and that actively engage with these smallholders through either direct sourcing arrangements or other types of smallholder support programs, such as training programs, sustainability certification schemes, and community develop gatesfoundation theme_P&D; theme_dreo value_chain gender Wed, 05 Dec 2012 10:59:47 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/ca46f0042d9c027add409716055a0c64#compartuser http://pubs.iied.org/pdfs/16029IIED.pdf http://del.icio.us/url/ca46f0042d9c027add409716055a0c64 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/ca46f0042d9c027add409716055a0c64 compartuser's links pdf 1MB; 50pp; Authors: Don Seville, Abbi Buxton, Bill Vorley The purpose of this paper is to draw together preliminary conclusions and open questions of the impact on the livelihoods of poorer producers through participation in formal value chains.

Upgrading is a key concept for value chain analysis and refers to the acquisition of technological capabilities and market linkages that enable firms to improve their competitiveness and move into higher-value activities. The authors examine a range of evidence to assess whether the “bottom billion” people, living mainly in the rural areas of low-income countries, can improve their position through productive strategies and, if so, how? They propose an innovative conceptual framework of value chain upgrading for some of the most marginal producers in the poorest local economies. They demonstrate how interventions theme_dreo the upgrading en earthscan pdf case_study ca value_chain v Wed, 09 Nov 2011 11:08:55 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/892fb25421531dad9217e377f2f408af#compartuser http://www.fondation-farm.org/IMG/pdf/microfi20100701_analyses_filieres_agricoles.pdf http://del.icio.us/url/892fb25421531dad9217e377f2f408af http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/892fb25421531dad9217e377f2f408af compartuser's links pdf - 446 kB: Rapport complémentaire - Analyse des filières agricoles: coton, riz, mangue, pomme de terre, échalote.

The 12 specific opportunities explored in this study could increase agricultural income by around US$138 billion across 26 of Vodafone’s markets in 2020. They could also cut carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 5 mega tonnes (Mt)in these markets and reduce freshwater withdrawals for agricultural irrigation by 6%,with significant savings in water-stressed regions. These benefits assume there will be around 549 million mobile connections to relevant services in 2020. This report aims to stimulate the necessary engagement between mobile operators, governments, NGOs and businesses to realise these opportunities and explore others. agriculture ict c4c vodafone oxfam accenture transfer value_chain rural_finance Market_prices Wed, 12 Oct 2011 19:15:29 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/73985752a2e85bd536cd32031cfc1b87#compartuser http://www.mfw4a.org/documents-details/financing-agricultural-value-chains-in-africa.html http://del.icio.us/url/73985752a2e85bd536cd32031cfc1b87 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/73985752a2e85bd536cd32031cfc1b87 compartuser's links Financing Agricultural Value Chains in Africa; This report represents the synthesis of a series of studies into agricultural finance in Africa sponsored by the German Development Cooperation.
