| dc.description | Smallholder farmers are responsible for most of the world’s food production and most of the investments made in agriculture. These farmers operate largely in a range of local and national markets that are known as “territorial markets”. Despite their importance and the critical role they can play in supporting sustainable farming practices, territorial markets are very often neglected in sustainable development plans – usually due to information gaps or a lack of understanding of their potential. To address this, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) developed and published a comprehensive methodology for the mapping of territorial markets (FAO, 2022). The methodology was used to conduct mapping processes for territorial markets in several countries – including Burkina Faso, Mali, Paraguay, and the United Republic of Tanzania, and the analysis of collected data sought to understand how existing gaps hinder the prioritization of sustainably produced food products, and to explore the potential of territorial markets to drive change towards sustainable food systems. | |
