| Research Seminar | Research-Policy Partnership for Inclusive and Sustainable Value Clain. Speakers: Dr Heval Yildirim (Research Officer, VCA4D-Agrinatura), Dr Frédéric Lançon (Scientific Director, VCA4D-Agrinatura) and Olimpia Orlandoni (Project Director, VCA4D-Agrinatura). Agrinatura has successfully been implementing the EU-funded ‘Value Chain Analysis for Development’ (VCA4D) project since 2016. The Alliance has undertaken around 50 value chain analyses across different commodities and geographies. In this seminar, the speakers will present the VCA4D project and its interdisciplinary methodology. The VCA4D methodology produces quantitative data to appraise the inclusiveness and sustainability of agri-based value chains from an economic, social, and environmental perspective. Having a multidisciplinary perspective, VCA4D offers researchers an exciting opportunity for collaboration to produce an evidence-based analysis of value chains that will contribute to the research-policy dialogue between North and South.
