Descripción
This thesis has been submitted to partially fulfill the requirements of a double PhD degree at the Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen (UCPH) and the School of Agricultural, Food and Biosystems Engineering, Technical University of Madrid (UPM). The thesis is comprised of four articles with an introductory chapter that takes a holistic view of the PhD research and provides a brief summary and discussion of the main findings. The original topic for the PhD was ?Analysis of business models in production and marketing of selected indigenous fruits: A case of Lake Victoria basin, Uganda?. However, during the early stages of the study, it became apparent that this topic was not feasible due to the nature of the context and the under-development of these indigenous fruit value chains. Therefore, the topic was changed to ?Value chain dynamics and impact of collective action on smallholder livelihood improvement in Kenya?. The thesis consists of the following four articles: Mutonyi, S., Beukel, K., Gyau, A., & Hjortsø, N. C. (2016).
