2016
Bijman, J. | Muradian, R. | Schuurman, J.
Agricultural cooperatives and producer organizations are institutional innovations which have the potential to reduce poverty and improve food security. The book presents a raft on international case studies, from developing and transition countries, to analyse the internal and external challenges that these complex organizations face and the solutions that they have developed. The contributors provide a greater understanding of the transformation of traditional community organizations into modern farmer-owned businesses. They cover issues including: the impact on rural development and inclusiveness, the role of social capital, formal versus informal organizations, democratic participation and member relations, and their role in value chains.
