Policy briefSupporting agrifood systems transformation in Indonesia with governance innovation
Governance and policy support: Policy brief
2024Also available in:
No results found.This policy brief summarizes the background, evidence and insights from the innovative governance modelling and analysis work developed in Indonesia under the "Governance Innovation for Sustainable Development of Food Systems” subprogramme. In addition, the brief offers guiding points and recommendations to support Indonesia's agrifood systems transformation efforts.The FVC subprogramme was carried out between 2020 and 2023 with funds from FAO's Flexible Voluntary Contribution (FVC). Together with Indonesia's national agency for planning and the Ministry of Agriculture as co-convener, the subprogramme supported the Directorate for Food and Agriculture in the Ministry of National Development Planning (BAPPENAS) leading the consolidation and implementation of the agrifood systems transformation agenda, including the UNFSS follow-up.The modelling and analytical work was conducted by a pool of researchers from the Christian Albrechts University of Kiel (CAU), the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), and the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD). The researchers elaborated their analysis on the concrete priorities of the country and provided insights about the agrifood systems’ performance, mapping synergies and potential trade-offs across identified interventions. The information package included an examination of the interests, roles, and contributions of stakeholders, allowing for the identification of alliances and coordination needed to ensure the coordination needed to ensure the political feasibility of their agrifood systems transformation plans. -
Book (stand-alone)Guidance on strengthening national science–policy interfaces for agrifood systems 2024
Also available in:
No results found.In line with its Science and Innovation Strategy, FAO has developed this guidance on strengthening science–policy interfaces (SPIs) for agrifood systems at the national level, helping to ensure that effective policy decisions are made based upon sufficient, relevant, and credible science and evidence. It is targeted to SPIs that are focused on the transformation of agrifood systems to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs, with a focus on the needs of low- and middle-income countries. The guidance first reflects on the “why”, i.e. the need for a national SPI, analysing the potential benefits of an SPI in addressing country-specific agrifood system challenges, and mapping and assessing the science–policy advisory ecosystem. Second, it outlines the core aspirational elements of a functional SPI, including its aims and roles, guiding principles, and three broad SPI models (the “what”). The final two sections focus on the “how”, detailing the core structural elements of an effective, just, and equitable SPI, focusing on the convenor and stakeholders, scale and scope, and governance; and, covering the procedural elements of an SPI, discussing the operationalization of an SPI, capacity development activities, and the importance of learning and reflexivity for achieving the desired impact. The publication is structured to allow readers to explore the document in a modular way, particularly if they have a specific concern in mind. -
Book (stand-alone)Pathways for agrifood systems transformation and regional cooperation in the Mediterranean 2024Sustainable agrifood systems are crucial for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, yet structural inequalities and recent crises underscore the urgent need for transformative change. This report focuses on the Mediterranean region, examining challenges and opportunities for agrifood systems transformation within its unique socio-economic and political context. Drawing on global and regional momentum, the report identifies barriers hindering transformation, proposes policy recommendations, and highlights opportunities for regional cooperation. It leverages insights from the UN Food Systems Summits and a typological approach to categorize countries based on their agrifood systems and economic development status.The analysis reveals diverse challenges but also positive attributes such as dietary traditions and biodiversity. While most initiatives prioritize defining goals and establishing support ecosystems, there's a need for greater policy coherence and governance mechanisms. The report identifies strategies to address these gaps, including providing policy guidance, expanding collaborative networks, enhancing data management, and unlocking sustainable finance.Ultimately, an integrated approach that harmonizes various agrifood systems, aligns with local realities, and strengthens partnerships is essential for transformative change. By leveraging existing initiatives, expanding collaboration, and addressing unique regional challenges, the report charts a united pathway towards sustainable agrifood systems in the Mediterranean, fostering prosperity and resilience.
