Development policymakers, academics and practitioners gathered at a ‘provocation’ seminar led by IIED in Stockholm, Sweden on the 3rd of March 2011 to discuss whether their approaches to supporting small-scale farmers should be based on markets or rights.
The provocation approach was used to bring together policymakers, academics and practitioners working at the interface between small-scale production, markets and development to share their insights into the potentials and pitfalls of rights-based and market-based approaches.
