Introducing "Food for Thought," our latest series where we hear from food systems experts on the trending topics of their fields. 💡 In this edition, Ramya Ambikapathi explores the complexities of the food employment sector, particularly within informality. The individuals operating within this informal economy play a crucial role in the food supply chain, yet their contributions often go unrecognized and unsupported. How can we navigate these challenges and foster improvements in this vital sector?

We show how, over time, the transformation of power relations within the food system constrained agency for certain organisational actors but not others. Agrifood standards provide a particularly rich empirical setting for exploring the evolution of paradox."

Our 2024 annual report is here! We're excited to share that we've helped over 40,000 small farmers and workers in food and agriculture businesses. This wouldn't have been possible without working hand-in-hand with local communities. The report dives into projects we ran in five countries, helping farmers improve the quality of their food, find better markets to sell their crops, and work together to export their products. Here's what we've achieved: • Research collaboration: We're working with researchers and food industry players in 6 countries to identify innovative solutions for agrifood supply chains. • Knowledge generation: In 2023 alone, we produced 39 valuable resources, designed 23 innovations, and held 11 capacity-building activities. • Piloting innovations: Together with local partners, we've launched pilot tests of these innovations in 7 value chains across 5 countries.
