  • This book provides a critical assessment of the different ways of approaching the linkages between value chains and sustainable development, and proposes an original grid for understanding these links
  • It brings together concrete experiences and research findings from social and technical sciences, and reflects on research frontiers in value chains an sustainable development, thereby fostering ideas for innovative solutions towards sustainable development
  • Building upon CIRAD and AFD long history of cooperation with developing countries, this book critically reviews the role of value chain approaches in development dynamics and sheds a new light onto the current environmental and social issues linked to these value chains

About this book

This book links tropical agri-chain dynamics – with which CIRAD and AFD have been involved for decades – to that of sustainable development. Increased environmental and social concerns urge agri-chain actors and development practitioners to design innovations, and public and private actors to invent regulations in connection with agri-chains to improve sustainability.
With a view to contributing towards implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this book examines the different roles of agri-chains: as vectors of development, as spaces of innovation, as objects of evaluation, and as arenas of regulation. It builds upon the findings and experiences of CIRAD and its researchers together with their Southern partners, and of AFD and its officers.
Linking agricultural production with the other economic sectors, agri- chains are key spaces where local and global challenges to sustainability meet and where local and global actors experiment interlinked orcommon solutions.
