Cirad, INRAE and Vitropic would like to answer these questions during a webinar on Tuesday, May 16 from 3:00 to 5:00 pm (Paris time). During the webinar, Cirad, INRAE and Vitropic speakers will present a case study on the workers’ families of banana plantations. What are the basic services (housing, care, education, etc.) that really count for the families? What are their needs and their level of satisfaction? These are the fundamental questions facing public and private decision-makers if they truly wish to improve the living standard of the local population. That is the aim of "Neighbour", the value chain social impacts assessment method developed by INRAE and Cirad. In this respect, it calls into question the other assessment methods adopted by certifiers and supermarket sector purchasers, in Europe and worldwide. Come and see the details of this new method, which has been successfully tested in the export banana industry.
