Inclusion of smallholders in value chains and markets is a must for improving their food and nutrition security, right?

It seems like a fair assumption – but is this actually dangerous?

It's the assumption we examine in this episode.

Dangerous Assumptions is a new podcast series from WOTRO, the Science for Global Development division of the Dutch Research Council.

In each podcast we challenge a deeply held belief underpinning research projects in the Food and Nutrition Security Sector.

Insights from 75 research projects carried out in 27 low and middle income countries which reveal the complexity of contemporary development issues.

In this second episode, we go to Kenya and hear the very different perspectives from a researcher, a policy maker and a businesswoman who all work in the food sector. And even more importantly they have all been involved in one or more of the 75 research projects.
