  Supporting smallholders requires more than only looking at one part of their production system. A wider approach looking at the whole farm helps to capitalize on cross-value chain linkages. To ensure sustainable income generation and increase resilience through diversification, we propose to explore possibilities for public-private partnerships addressing several issues on farms at the same time. Needed inputs such as veterinary services, feed, genetics and business development services can be delivered through a P3 business-hub approach. In Uganda and Vietnam pigs and poultry are often kept together, both requiring similar inputs and both contribute to income generation and food and nutrition security. Both species require similar housing and management system. In addition, given the close proximity to people, a ‘One Farm’ approach also allows to address food safety issues and develop systems to monitor emerging diseases more efficiently. We propose to test this approach in Uganda and Vietnam, where P3 systems are common.
  This is a true cross project: cross region, cross value chains, cross programs
