Abstract:
From mid-2007 to early 2008 Hivos partnered with Stockholm Environment Institute to assess the state of knowledge on competing food, feed and fuels pressures on land use. The goal was to delineate knowledge needs in the field of sustainable economic development with a special focus on the economic position of marginalized groups. The results of this knowledge survey are summarized. Based on the outcome of the survey, Hivos has decided to broaden its focus and develop knowledge on small producers’ agency in the globalized market, and is currently exploring partnerships with interested knowledge centres.
