The role of information networks along the poultry value chain
Mapping the flow of information along the poultry value chain is crucial for the identification of the actors to whom highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) risks should be communicated. Each actor in the poultry sector, whether private and public, or formal or informal, has particular roles in th...
