Addressing market shocks, strengthening value chains and building resilienceStrengthening value chains is one way to drive structural changes, improving the distribution of value added capture along the chains and incorporating new producers and service providers. This is achieved through economic scaling up of links in the chain and better cooperation between them, as well as between the stakeholders involved, ensuring women’s integration and empowerment along the entire value chain. Two recurrent constraints to value chains in rural areas are the absence of good agricultural and manufacturing practices, and gender gaps. Programmes to promote these practices, support and promotion to obtain certifications, quality systems, geographical designations and technical and production advice are useful for strengthening these chains.62

Risk management also plays an important role in strengthening the resilience of producers, which underpins food systems. Agricultural insurance offered in developed and developing countries around the world has contributed to the resilience of producers63. Chile, for example, offers government incentives for taking out such policies. This promotes risk transfer and working capital insurance against adverse losses, which are more common and harder-hitting due to climate change64. Similarly, in Kenya the state subsidizes 50 percent of the insurance for producers whose land measures between 0.2 and 8 ha.65
