This workshop is the result of two research projects: the first, on “Sustainable practices,
sustainable markets? Exploring the institutional changes that link sustainable agricultural
practices with markets in developing countries” and the second, on “An analysis of the
marketing channels of agroecological produce.” Both projects attempted specifically to
understand the ways in which sustainable agroecological production was linked to markets in
developing countries. The workshop brought together specialists and researchers who shared
innovative experiences about more productive and sustainable agricultural practices in the
context of market integration. It is hoped that the experiences documented in the present
workshop report will facilitate the spread of new experiences and create new awareness about
the linkages between sustainable production and markets, contributing to the development
of sustainable and efficient food systems.
