      abstract = {The perception of markets delivering a Pareto optimal  solution with distribution of benefits and
value creation  along the supply chain has been evolving from a theoretical  perspective and respective
assumptions toward more  pragmatic and sophisticated analysis. Food and  agricultural
production, at farm level, frequently faces  great challenges and deviations from theory  optimal
solutions, mainly when markets do not have the  necessary conditions for “perfect  functioning”.
Institutional innovation and regulations from  the supply side and from the demand side have
been able to  offer solutions, some of them science based. Those examples  deserve attention and
can offer sound base for improvements  in our knowledge about market behaviour and development
for  improved dynamics and innovation in the food systems. The  analysis will be centred
in case studies in Europe, Africa  and Latin America, providing examples where science  has
been playing an important role for good market  performances. In the wine sector in Europe,
regulations  started very early, and were based on market needs and  value creation strategies.
Food aid for development  purposes also evolved during the last decades, from  tangible goods
distribution toward other forms of  cooperation for development, which has been very  important
for African countries. Last but not least, we  would like to address the examples of private  sector
organizations with market regulatory interventions,  such as the sugar cane sector with a scientific based  support from research team’s efforts (like CEPEA at the  University of S. Paulo/Brazil, among others).},
