We are continuing our Trace Talk series by discussing the position of the farmer in the global value chain. Following from our last Trace Talk<\/a>, we dive deeper into the often vulnerable position farmers find themselves in: living in poverty whilst the retailer reap the benefits of their labour. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The meals we enjoy every day are the final product of one of humanity\u2019s most elaborate operations: the global food system. This system is an immensely complex web of activities and actors. By now we all know that the ones at the very beginning of the production chains are notoriously underpaid, whereas at the other end of the chain, big food companies and retailers take home the profit. Is there a way to reshape food supply chains?<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this episode of Trace Talks, we will explore the current standing of the farmer in the agricultural supply chain hierarchy, and investigate how we may distribute value more evenly. By looking at a case study, we investigate how transparency and traceability can help reshape value distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTrace Talks #5: Let Farmers Get Their Fair Share<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
