Also available in:
No results found.This Technical Paper explores linkages between Agriculture and Services trade and how it can foster food security and help achieving SDG-2. It highlights the importance of services sector in the agriculture, particularly how can services support the value addition in agriculture. The paper also attempts to bridge the perception gap between agriculture trade (which is often seen through protectionist lens) and the services trade (often labelled as liberal agenda). The paper provides a different perspective, SDG oriented approach, to the agriculture and services negotiations at the World Trade Organization (WTO) and helps in finding different approaches for solving the global food security issues. -
Book (stand-alone)Trade and Sustainable Development Goal 2 – Policy options and their trade-offs 2020
Also available in:
No results found.With trade recognized as a means of implementation under Agenda 2030, policy-makers will need to ensure that trade, and policies affecting trade and markets, are taken into consideration as part of their efforts to achieve SDG 2. The five targets that set out the level and ambition of SDG 2 (ending hunger; ending all forms of malnutrition; doubling the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers; ensuring sustainable food production systems; and maintaining genetic diversity), as well as trade itself, often constitute distinct policy priorities for governments. Trade and related policy measures that may be designed to achieve one target can potentially have unintended negative consequences that undermine the achievement of other targets, both within the country where the measure is applied and in the trading partner countries. It is therefore important that policy-makers identify and recognize areas in which difficult tradeoffs may be needed between competing policy objectives, and identify possible ways in which these can be addressed. Furthermore, while the different targets set out under SDG 2 are mutually interdependent and inter-related, it is important to address the trade policy dimension of each component individually as part of a broader plan of action. -
