Built environment elements supportive of healthy eating in rural, remote and northern communities by Kim Bergeron, Health Promotion Consultant-Nutrition Resource Centre
The document discusses opportunities for increased cooperation between the Dutch agri-food sector and smallholder farmers in developing countries. It argues that greater partnerships could benefit smallholder farmers through professionalization and access to new markets, while also helping Dutch companies access new sourcing opportunities and emerging markets.

The document summarizes the East Africa Dairy Development Project, which aims to double incomes for smallholder dairy farmers in Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda. It does this through a hub model where chilling plants are transformed into business hubs. The hubs provide a one-stop shop for farmers, allowing them to access services, inputs, and reliable markets through milk collection and sales to processors. Examples show hubs collecting over 70,000 liters of milk daily from over 13,000 farmers, generating $6.3 million annually in sales. Success requires commitment from farmers, government, and collaboration along the supply chain. Partners are now being sought to scale up the project further.

Agriculture is becoming more complex globally with rising standards, environmental regulations, and competition. Queensland agriculture specifically faces challenges including older farmers with limited business skills, a research system focused on commodities rather than high-value products, and declining competitiveness in some industries. To address this, the document recommends that Queensland promote training in business and IT skills for farmers, facilitate cooperative models, and focus research and development on commercializing new technologies and products to meet evolving global demand.

Gerald Mutinda, Regional Manager, East Africa Dairy Devt ProjectCatchTalk.TV
This document summarizes the East Africa Dairy Development Project, which aimed to double incomes for smallholder dairy farmers in Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda. It did this by establishing dairy hubs - centers where farmers could access services like artificial insemination, veterinary care, inputs, and sell their milk. Over 200,000 farmers joined cooperatives that used these hubs. As a result, milk production increased from less than 20 million liters annually to over 340 million liters. Farmers' incomes increased from less than $5 million to over $103 million in payments. The hubs proved an effective model for unlocking rural economies by attracting investment and stimulating employment.

Toronto Food Strategy: Food Access MappingBringFoodHome
The Toronto Food Strategy aims to foster a healthy and sustainable food system. It takes a multi-pronged approach, including building networks, leveraging resources, and using both top-down and bottom-up strategies. Food environment mapping is being used to better understand relationships between income, food access, and other factors. Initial findings show lower income areas tend to have less healthy food retail environments and schools are more likely to have fast food nearby. The research is informing policies like the new Residential Apartment Commercial zone to support healthier food options in apartment communities.
