“…Previous research has dealt with the role and importance that agricultural production, namely irrigated farming and rainfed farming have on food security, income, and improving the quality of life of families [14,15]. Other research aimed to study local factors of resilience to the threat of rising international prices and the responses of rural households [16], such as studying the behaviour of food supply to institutional markets through family farming, seeking to compare the behaviour of the national market with the international market for basic food products [17,18]. Recent literature shows interest on the objectives of public policies towards food security in Cabo Verde [19].…”

Food Systems and Food Security: The Role of Small Farms and Small Food Businesses in Santiago Island, Cabo Verde

et al. 2020

This study aims to analyse the role and contribution of small farms and small food businesses on the food system and food security. Drawing on a conceptual framework, methodology, and data from the EU H2020 ‘SALSA-Small farms, small food businesses and sustainable food and nutrition security’ project hereafter referred as SALSA project, this issue has been analysed in relation to four staple products (tomato, chicken, maize, and banana) in Santiago Island (Cabo Verde). The study follows a regional approach based on a detailed analysis of the territorial food systems and of the production/consumption balance of those staple products. The results show that the subsystems of production, processing, distribution, and consumption are different in the different food systems map for the four staple products, with complex and diversified interrelationships between small farms and related small businesses linking with various markets and all kinds of actors. Moreover, the evidence shows that small farms, in conjunction with small food businesses, are crucial to national food security in Santiago Island. The small farm is fundamental for greater food availability produced in the region, and the small food business is a key component playing a very important role by ensuring the stability of supply, being primarily responsible for establishing relationships to population centres.

“…With approximately 30% of the population living below the poverty line (International Fund for Agricultural Development, 2023), grogue as a rural economic outlet continues to be one of the few viable options for many vulnerable families looking to add value to what they produce. As an example, 2010 data show that on the island of Santo Antão, in the municipality of Paúl, fifty‐four percent of the population lives below the poverty line and that the production of grogue accounts for 21.2% of the income of the agricultural families located there (Triches et al, 2013, pp. 73, 74).…”

This article explores grogue, a sugarcane‐based distilled spirit of Cabo Verde, and its multifaceted and contested valuations in culture, livelihoods, and well‐being. Despite Cabo Verde's challenging climate, sugarcane agriculture remains significant primarily due to the importance placed on the local production of grogue. The study described in this article investigates how grogue is perceived and valued among Cabo Verdeans, questioning why it promotes connectivity, sustainable livelihoods, and identity as a cultural asset and how it is entangled in a complicated colonial legacy, harmful health and negative societal outcomes, and neoliberal designs to modernize and industrialize as a cultural liability. The researchers conducted a thematic analysis of news stories and their associated comments from A Semana, the premiere daily online Cabo Verdean newspaper, to explore grogue's production, distribution, consumption, regulation, and valuation. The findings demonstrate various value registers, including identity, place, economic development, health, and social well‐being, all of which help shape Cabo Verdeans' perspectives on grogue. This article is a crucial starting point for future research aimed at developing a comprehensive understanding of artisanal spirits' proliferation and contested values. By investigating multivocal interests behind competing ideas of valuation or devaluation of grogue, the study contributes to understanding its impacts on Cabo Verdean society.

“…Despite the deep commitment that Cape Verde is posing to the hospitality sector, there is an important opportunity for growth in the agricultural sector and for the farmers along with the well-being of the population. However, such aim can only happen through a quality-driven approach in order to profit from the investments already made and improving the efficiency and effectiveness [5] of farms exploitation.…”

In Cape Verde, small family farming production suffers continuously from limited essential resources such as water and soil for a steady development. This situation is further aggravated by the lack of financial resources. We have developed a hybrid and multidimensional conceptual model for improvement of those small farming units by bringing together concepts of quality management, farmers’ satisfaction evaluation and production capabilities. The model we have built was the result of an inquiry based on Focus Group study with 15 farmers and it was carried out in 2019. We name the model as SQual4Agri and this is a step toward improvement in small family based agricultural organization, namely in productivity, responsibility sharing, communication and quality management.
