Book (stand-alone)CFS 2019/46/Inf.17 - Agroecological and other innovative approaches for sustainable agriculture and food systems that enhance food security and nutrition. A report by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition
jul/19
2019Also available in:
Food systems and agriculture are at a crossroads and a profound transformation is needed at all scales, not only to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG2) to “end hunger and all forms of malnutrition” by 2030 but also to address Agenda 2030 in its entirety, including human and environmental health, climate change, equity and social stability. Current trends, such as the new increase, since 2014, in the number of undernourished people and the alarming rate of all forms of malnutrition in all countries, and related tensions will be exacerbated if we fail to design and implement, in a very near future, food systems that ensure food security and nutrition while addressing all sustainability challenges. Agroecological and other innovative approaches in agriculture are increasingly praised for their potential contribution to reach these crucial goals. This report adopts a dynamic perspective, centred on the key concepts of transition and transformation. Ultimately, this rich and comprehensive report aims to fuel an exciting policy convergence process and help remove the lock-ins by developing a common understanding of these matters, so that concrete transition pathways can be implemented at all relevant scales, from farm, community and landscape to national, regional and global levels. -
ProjectDeveloping Sustainable and Inclusive Agrifood Systems in the Northwest Region of Azerbaijan - GCP/AZE/014/EC 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The northwest region of Azerbaijan lends itself to agroand food tourism thanks to its cuisine, which has been recognized for its long and unique history. This type of tourism has the potential to create jobs and generate income for rural producers on the region, who have knowledge of local ingredients, recipes and products, but lack the communication mechanisms, producer buyer networks, management skills, food safety knowledge and access to markets and financing that are required to start and run a business. This project aimed to assist small and medium-scale farmers and producers in the Balakan, Gakhand Zagatalarayons in overcoming these challenges by: (i) introducing the concept of Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) and Geographical Indications (GIs); (ii) establishing inclusive and efficient agrifood systems for six selected products (honey and other beekeeping products, dried meat, food products made of or containing hazelnuts, dried persimmon, persimmon molasses, and jams, including walnut jam); (iii) strengthening producer-buyer linkages and promoting agroand food tourism in the region; and (iv) establishing and piloting a community-driven system for agricultural advisory services (AAS).
