Multistakeholder platforms (plataformas de concertación)

The Plataformas are alliances between farmers and suppliers of agricultural services, including research institutes, NGOs, universities, and local governments that facilitate key knowledge-sharing and learning events. It also links smallholders’ organizations to higher value markets for their products, such as local fast food restaurants and a company that produces potato chips. An important component of the Plataformas are the trainings in the Farmer Field Schools (FFS).
