Based on the concept of socio-ecosystems Ava Jeva undertakes research and dissemination of knowledge at the local level to develop agricultural value-chains, innovations, and solutions to mitigate the impacts of agricultural activities while maximising their social contributions to local communities. Our principal areas of experience are centred around: the development of alternative value chains, technical improvements of existing agricultural activities, market research for agricultural produce, and, socio-economic and environmental baseline studies.
