Institutional Innovation and Policy Support to Facilitate Small-Scale Farming Transformation in China (2016, background): “Overall goal of this paper is to understand small-scale farm transformation in China based on a unique dataset surveyed in Northeast and North China.”
Food value chain transformations in developing countries: Selected hypotheses on nutritional implications (2013, background): “, 2009), even when facing stricter product safety and product standards established by supermarkets (Minten et al., 2009; Berdegue et al., 2005).”
On the Structural Transformation of Rural Africa (2017, background): “A growing body of evidence suggests that modern agricultural value chains effectively internalize many of the externalities that lead to inefficiency in traditional agriculture in SSA (Swinnen 2007; Reardon et al. 2009; Barrett et al. 2012).”
A Century-Long Perspective on Agricultural Development (2010, background): “The rapid emergence in developing countries of supermarkets, fast food chains, and other retailers with downstream market power, as well as increased penetration by global agroexporters, has shortened supply chains and tightened food quality and safety standards, while at the same time threatening t”
Non-Tariff Measures and Standards in Trade and Global Value Chains (2015, background): “…demand estimation) to look at its impact on market allocation and potential externalities (Disdier and Marette, 2010; Peterson and Orden, 2008; Yue et al., 2006; and Yue and Beghin, 2009) and, in the context of global chains, on heterogeneous firms and labor market effects (Swinnen, 2007).”
Smallholder participation in contract farming: Comparative evidence from five countries (2012, background): “Insofar as participation in CFAs seems to generate economically and statistically significant gains to participating farmers on average (Bellemare, 2010a; Michelson et al., in press; Narayanan, 2010b; Reardon et al., 2009; Swinnen, 2007), this naturally fosters rising spatial inequality and can rein”
Climate Change, Global Food Security, and the U.S. Food System (2015, background): “Elongated supply chains expose food products to greater risk of potential contamination and make it harder to verify the quality of the products at various stages (Swinnen 2007), but also allow more diversity in consumption and more stability over time.”
Contract farming configuration: Smallholders’ preferences for contract design attributes (2013, unknown): “Contract Farming (CF) is becoming increasingly important in developing countries, partly because of domestic and foreign supermarkets requiring sophisticated supply chains, partly because of the growing use of quality certificates and corporate social responsibility guarantees by downstream customer”
