Market-based approaches to food safety and animal health interventions: Lessons from smallholder pig value chains in Vietnam por Rich, Karl M., Huyen Nguyen, Thi-Thu, Ha Duong-Nam, Hung Pham Van, Nga Nguyen Thi Duong, Unger, Fred, Lapar, Ma. Lucila

“…In this paper, we constructed a system dynamics model of the pig value chain that combines a detailed model of herd production and marketing with modules on short‐ and long‐term investment in pig capacity, and decisions by value chain actors to adopt different innovations. The model further highlights the feedbacks between different actors in the chain to identify both the potential entry points for upgrading food safety and animal health as well as potential areas of tension within the chain that may undermine uptake. …”
