White Paper on Strengthening Farmers Markets

Earlier this year, we joined forces with UN Habitat, FAO, HealthBridge Foundation, and the World Union of Wholesale Markets for a digital consultation to examine the ecosystem of municipal markets systems and how they contribute to territorial food governance.
