Download or read book Assessing the quality of agricultural market information systems: A self-assessment guide written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2018-06-22 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over approximately the past 40 years, many developing countries invested in the establishment of agricultural market information systems or services (MIS). These systems or services were initially run by government agencies, but since the turn of the millennium private organizations have shown interest in providing data on a commercial basis. To date, however, these private services, while usually being more efficient than the government-run ones, have also largely depended on donor support for their continued operation. It has proved difficult to develop a profitable business model as many of the clients are small farmers and traders. Agricultural market information systems or services (MIS) can cover staples, horticultural crops, livestock, and export commodities. They are generally designed to collect, process, and disseminate or distribute data of relevance to farmers, traders and other buyers, such as processors, but the data they generate can also be used for a variety of purposes by governments, donors, international organizations and others.

This book was released on 2015-06-11 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural market information systems (MIS) were largely promoted in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) to support the policies of liberalization of agricultural value chains in the late 1980s and early 1990s. These systems had the goal of facilitating agricultural marketing through reduced asymmetries between traders and rural farmers, collecting information for food security monitoring, and providing information to governments for better policy formulation. Today, there exist two main models of these systems: first generation and second generation models. This book gives the reader detailed information about these systems, evaluates their sustainability and efficiency in providing up-to-date information to farmers, traders and other stakeholders, and also provides key lessons learnt from MIS in the past.
Book Synopsis Major Issues in the Implementation of Agricultural Marketing Information Systems in Developing Countries by : Ranjan Vaidya
Download or read book Major Issues in the Implementation of Agricultural Marketing Information Systems in Developing Countries written by Ranjan Vaidya and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information systems projects in developing countries continue to fail. My research aims to understand some of the major issues that negatively impact the success of public sector information systems projects in developing countries. I conducted a qualitative study of a state agricultural marketing board in India. The board initiated an information systems project in 2003. The objective of the project was to connect the various agricultural markets spread across the state by deploying hi-tech information and communication technologies. Unfortunately, by 2011-12 the project was abandoned because of the growing conflicts between the government and private vendors implementing the project. The major stakeholders in the project included the government, private vendors, farmers and traders. The data for this critical study was collected over a period of eight months from 2009 to 2012 using semi structured interviews, field visits and observations. The findings of the research suggest that the lack of trust and resignation (to certain unfair practices being virtually impossible to change) are the core issues that impede success of information systems implementation in developing countries. Also, a lack of honesty and behavioural hegemony led to mistrust amongst the stakeholders. Following, the analysis of the problems posed by the mistrust-resignation framework, this research suggests some solutions. Commodity information systems, stakeholder accreditation system, transaction feedback systems and stakeholder security systems are suggested as possible mechanisms for fostering trust.

Book Synopsis Building Community Food Webs by : Ken Meter
Download or read book Building Community Food Webs written by Ken Meter and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2021-04-29 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our current food system has decimated rural communities and confined the choices of urban consumers. Even while America continues to ramp up farm production to astounding levels, net farm income is now lower than at the onset of the Great Depression, and one out of every eight Americans faces hunger. But a healthier and more equitable food system is possible. In Building Community Food Webs, Ken Meter shows how grassroots food and farming leaders across the U.S. are tackling these challenges by constructing civic networks. Overturning extractive economic structures, these inspired leaders are engaging low-income residents, farmers, and local organizations in their quest to build stronger communities. Community food webs strive to build health, wealth, capacity, and connection. Their essential element is building greater respect and mutual trust, so community members can more effectively empower themselves and address local challenges. Farmers and researchers may convene to improve farming practices collaboratively. Health clinics help clients grow food for themselves and attain better health. Food banks engage their customers to challenge the root causes of poverty. Municipalities invest large sums to protect farmland from development. Developers forge links among local businesses to strengthen economic trade. Leaders in communities marginalized by our current food system are charting a new path forward. Building Community Food Webs captures the essence of these efforts, underway in diverse places including Montana, Hawai‘i, Vermont, Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, and Minnesota. Addressing challenges as well as opportunities, Meter offers pragmatic insights for community food leaders and other grassroots activists alike.
