International prices for most agricultural commodities are set to remain at 2010 levels or higher, at least for the next decade (OECD-FAO, 2010). Small-scale producers in many developing countries were not able to reap the benefits of high food prices during the 2007-2008 food price crises. Yet, this upward food price trend could have been an opportunity for them to increase their incomes and food security. The opportunity that high food prices could have provided as a pathway out of poverty for small producers was not realized. Evidence from the ground show that when strong rural organizations such as producer groups and cooperatives provide a full range of services to small producers, they are able to play a greater role in meeting a growing food demand on local, national and international markets. Indeed, a myriad of such institutional innovations from around the world are documented in this FAO case-study-based publication. Nevertheless, to be able to provide a broad array of services to their members, organizations have to develop a dense network of relationship, among small producers, between small-producer organizations and with markets actors and policy-makers"--Executive summary. 606 $aRural development$zDeveloping countries 606 $aCooperation$zDeveloping countries 606 $aFood security$zDeveloping countries 606 $aFarms, Small$zDeveloping countries 615 0$aRural development 615 0$aCooperation 615 0$aFood security 615 0$aFarms, Small 676 $a307.1/412091724 701 $aHerbel$b Denis$01242080 712 02$aFood and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. 712 02$aInternational Fund for Agricultural Development. 801 0$bNLE 801 1$bNLE 801 2$bUKMGB 801 2$bDJB 801 2$bAGL 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996320157203316 996 $aGood practices in building innovative rural institutions to increase food security$92881099 997 $aUNISA
