    Description
    Food and beverage companies are facing a rapidly changing world. Global demand is rising as the world's population grows. Yet the planet's ability to meet this demand is threatened by factors such as droughts and other expected consequences of climate change, together with land degradation and biofuel production. At the same time consumers everywhere are growing more knowledgeable and concerned about the ethics of where and how their food and drink are produced. This paper tries to show the advantages - both in productivity and consumer appeal - of domestic and global companies connecting with smallholder suppliers. The Fair Trade movement grew out of the recognition that most large-scale food supply chains were bypassing smallholders. While many companies are now starting to realise the sourcing potential of smallholder-based supply chains, Oxfam and Sustainable Food Lab (SFL) recognise that these companies also struggle with the challenges of linking diverse smallholders to formal markets. Development agencies and governments are willing to support companies who take up this challenge, because approximately two-thirds of the world's rural households - the majority of whom live in poverty - depend on smallholder agriculture for their food and incomes. This briefing paper aims to show - incorporating programme experience and case studies - how domestic and global companies in the food and drinks sector can deliver value for their business so that smallholder suppliers gain value too.

    Export search results

    The export button (to the right?) will allow you to export the search results of the entered query to a CSV file. To export the items, click the "Export" button.

    There are two options to select the items you want to export to a CSV. Either you export all results from a search query, or you select a subset of items from the search results.

    To select a subset of the search results, click "Selective Export" in the Export menu.

    After making a selection, click the 'CSV' button. The amount of items that will be exported is indicated in the bubble next to 'CSV'.

    The amount of items you can export is limited, but authenticating will increase this limit.
