An assessment of their agribusiness capacities and institutional environment
This report presents research on social innovation and relevant trends for small-scale farming in the Near East and North Africa (NENA) region. Social innovation is an approach to community development that gained momentum in the second half of the 2010s as a response to the challenges imposed by the post- crisis economy and austerity policies. The report highlights a rich set of practices already in development in the NENA region in small-scale farming, which can be replicated and adapted to various places and communities, and even progressively scaled up into broader systems.
