No results found.Globally, agriculture provides a livelihood for more people than any other industry. Agriculture has a key role in reducing poverty since most of the world’s poor live in rural areas and are largely dependent on agriculture, while food prices determine the cost-of-living for both rural and urban poor. The global objective of halving poverty levels by 2015 is unlikely to be reached at current levels of assistance to agriculture. -
DocumentThe Organic Livestock Trade from Developing Countries: Poverty, Policy and Market Issues 2003
Also available in:
No results found.This study investigates the regulatory framework for organic livestock products in the EU, the international livestock trade, markets for organic livestock products, and compiled case studies of actual and potential organic projects. The recent increase in demand for organic produce both in UK and global markets has involved the sourcing of organic produce from developing countries. There is some concern that some policy and regulatory issues and certification schemes, geared primarily to organi c production in developed countries, have not been designed to encourage the inclusion of the poor, leading to a scenario where many small-scale farmers or producer groups in developing countries may be excluded from an activity which, a previous study for RLD concluded, holds potential for the poor to improve their livelihood status.
