• OIE approach: monitoring of self-defined commitments to environmentally friendly agricultural practices;
• Support for economic initiatives (agricultural and non-agricultural) by strengthening production and marketing capacities;
• Promotion of short supply chains to bring producers and consumers closer together;
• Entrepreneurial training for women, aimed at economic autonomy, self-confidence and leadership;
• Integration of ICTs into production and marketing systems.
