Abstract: There is a lot of focus on value chains in development circles these days and the concept can mean various things to various people. At its basic level, what is value and what does it really mean to add value to any product or process? These are some of the questions that Tom Love will deal with in his presentation. Starting with a discussion of the greatest statement of value ever spoken, Tom will attempt to bring clarity to this oft-confused subject and to outline some of the challenges of value addition—especially for small producers.
