Book (stand-alone)Africa-Ireland building inclusive and sustainable food value chains
Workshop report
2018Also available in:
No results found.The profile of Irish agriculture holds particular interest for developing countries intending to invest in the agri-food sector as a pathway for poverty reduction and employment generation for young people. Until the 1970s, the Irish farming sector held a number of similarities to that of many developing countries today: with over a quarter of the population employed on small farm holdings with little access to value addition opportunities and mass emigration from rural areas. During the 1990s, Ireland’s food sector began a rapid transformation process. Today, it is a world-leader in food-safety, traceability and environmental sustainability, penetrating high-value food markets in the EU, Asia and the US. While the transformation of the Irish sector holds a number of valuable lessons for developing countries, there are also a number of common challenges related to sustainability, gender and nutrition where knowledge exchange on respective initiatives can potentially lead to synergies. Against this background, the ‘Building Inclusive and Sustainable Food Value Chains’ workshop was hosted by the Department of Food, Agriculture and the Marine (DAFM), Ireland at their main offices in Dublin from 7 to 9 of February 2018. The high-level policy meeting, organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in collaboration with the African Union Commission (AUC) and DAFM, was designed to exchange lessons on building sustainable and nutritious agri-food sectors and identify how FAO and the AUC can contribute to knowledge exchange on the topic. Ten African countries represented the Africa region at the workshop with various thought leaders from the public and private sector participating. This report represents a summary of workshop findings by the FAO organizers. -
Book (stand-alone)Ireland’s journey towards sustainable food systems
The processes and practices that made a difference
2021Also available in:
No results found.The intention of this case study is to learn from the institutional and programmatic processes that have sustained the transformation of Ireland’s food system so that other countries might be inspired by ideas and practices that could be potentially adapted to their own journey towards a sustainable food system. The country’s trajectory from small-scale farming focused on commodity exports with little value addition, to gradual integration into high-value international supply chains, alongside its current ambition to contribute to solving world hunger, reflect the profound shifts that have taken place within and around the boundaries of Ireland’s food system. Ireland’s transformation demonstrates the complexity of multiple drivers (policies, investments, market trends and disruptions) simultaneously at play as food systems evolve. At present, the top challenges in agri-food concern the environment, human health and nutrition. -
