Globalization in the new age
By
As global markets shift and food systems become more interconnected, rural communities face both new risks and new opportunities. ERID explores how inclusive, locally-driven strategies can help smallholder farmers and institutions adapt, compete, and thrive in a globalized world.
As globalization evolves, rural economies stand at a crossroads. For smallholder farmers and local institutions, navigating international markets, shifting policies, and global supply chains can be both empowering and overwhelming.
At ERID, we explore how global frameworks—such as trade, development aid, and climate agreements—can be localized to benefit those most often left behind. Our work ensures that globalization in agriculture isn't a top-down process, but a collaborative one that strengthens local food systems and empowers communities.
By connecting global strategies to grassroots realities, we help partners design inclusive, data-driven approaches that build resilience and unlock opportunity in the face of rapid global change.
