Achieving Sustainable Development Goals in the global food sector: A systematic literature review to examine small farmers engagement in contract farming

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Contract farming, a common strategy among multinational companies in the global food sector, can help achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, it largely depends on whether or not small farmers can participate in contract farming programs, which has been a major issue globally. Our main objective in this systematic literature review is to identify the factors that drive small farmer participation in contract farming. We analyze 97 peer‐reviewed journal articles published between 1977 and 2017. Our review finds that farmer demographic characteristics, farm structure, farmer characteristics, and farmer attitudes influence participation in contract farming although causal mechanisms remain ambiguous. We therefore suggest the need for more comprehensive methodologies to examine small farmer participation in contract farming. In the meantime, global food sector companies must consider these factors as they develop plans toward achieving SDGs.

The global resurgence of co-operatives has given rise to debate about their role in development. What challenges do they offer to current models of social and economic organisation in the light of crisis? Can co-operatives go beyond their mixed history and create opportunities for new thinking, policy and practice? This Introduction examines some aspects of the history of the co-operative movement in development and identifies contemporary themes, particularly with respect to rural co-operatives. It outlines how the articles in the Policy Arena address some of the key questions in current policy debates.
