Support from Vietnam, here we come. I see two issues here, one to possibly assess the effectiveness of PPP business-hub approach, and the other one is the integrated nature of pig and poultry farming that presents potential synergies that can be tapped by taking a One Farm perspective. So, is the focus on evaluating the effectiveness of the institutional mechanism (PPP) for address production, market and other constraints in a smallholder pig and poultry systems? Or is it testing the One Farm approach as a framework for diagnosing constraints and potential solutions that could be addressed through some institutional approaches? Might be worthwhile to have a clear problem statement in the next iteration?

Considering the zoonoses aspects of one health, it feels as if there would be benefits to include the FSZ programme.

This sounds like a good idea. I guess I’d like to understand well what the research issues are and how these align with ILRI’s competencies. Its probably something that requires some key partners?

what a good idea, with the bonus on working across 2 countries.
Could you start putting together the objectives?
And anyone from Vietnam to second???

Good idea. I would like to learn more about your PPP approach and how this encompasses the whole farm. How about natural resource management? I think you need to look at NRM as well and tease out the threshold at which farmers start re-investing in NRM when the level of income increases.
