Selecting Areas of Best Practice
By farming systems and by FS categories
Technology adoption: Effective conservation, production, and post-harvest technologies
Innovative marketing and other services: small-enterprise promotion, mechanisms for service provision
Policies and institutions: Decentralised decision making, private/public partnerships
