The Role of Governments in Enabling Living Income in Global Agriculture Value Chains

28 September 2022, 15:00 UTC+1 (BST) - 90mins. Webinar | The Role of Governments in Enabling Living Income in Global Agriculture Value Chains

The webinar featured a panel of government leaders who are shaping strategy and create policy related to Living Income in multiple sectors and regions. This webinar tackled:

• 
  Why should governments adopt Living Income Strategies and Policies?
  
• What examples exist?
• What is needed to engage more public policy makers and ensure that all farmers along the value chains receive a Living Income?

Resource:
GIZ (2022) The Living Income Guidance for Governments # 55 p.

This guide was created for policy-makers interested in providing support to smallholder farmers in an
effort to close the gap between actual incomes and a Living Income in agricultural value chains. The document provides considerations and guidance in relation to both production (supply-side) and consumption (demand-side) public policies.

Our aim is not to present any existing policy as a “best practice” or to be “copied and pasted” into other jurisdictions. More modestly, we hope this publication will provide food for thought and, perhaps, inspiration to public policy-makers around the world that wish to take action to ensure that all farmers,
regardless of their position in a value chain, receive a Living Income.
