Agriculture Development in Afghanistan: A Systemic Assessment Approach
Abstract
Value chain assessments combining open system theory and value chain analysis offer a systemic assessment method capable of framing the complex problems that limit effective long-term sustainable agricultural development and efficient prioritizing of projects in resource constrained environments like Afghanistan. The value chain assessment presented in this study meets the intent of thorough problem framing. It offers a broader, more holistic understanding of the current conditions that hamper agricultural development. Value chain analysis combined with open systems theory captures all requirements necessary to most effectively frame a problem and make a thorough assessment that will support decisions leading to a self-perpetuating system capable of replacing the current antiquated and drug yielding agricultural economy.
