Synopsis (short abstract) The main objective of this side event is to showcase food systems transformation processes and pathways in the Mediterranean, as a direct contribution to the UNFSS follow-up process, by fostering more knowledge sharing, leveraging new collaborations and partnerships, as well as, mobilizing more resources to further consolidate the joint SFS-MED Platform’s effort. Echoing the global objectives and efforts of the One Planet Network’s SFS Programme at regional level, the work conducted by the SFS-MED Platform focuses on leveraging cross-country and multi-stakeholder collaboration to advance sustainable food systems transformation in the Mediterranean region. The expected outcome is the consolidation of a Mediterranean collaborative way forward, embracing the concepts of blue, green and circular economy, fostering research and innovation, and leveraging the Mediterranean diet to bring about more sustainable consumption and production patterns, all key for achieving progress towards the 2030 Agenda in the region.

    The reader will be able to know more about this initiative in Jordan, where its ultimate goal is to improve food security, incomes and nutritional status of the population, as well as environmental sustainability in the Mediterranean countries, through the development of more inclusive, efficient and sustainable food systems. In doing so, the project aims at developing a global systemic SFS approach, which could be replicated and have similar impacts in other countries/regions. the project will deliver a joint framework developed, built on context-specific solutions hinged on science, knowledge and experience, and innovative pathways for the shift towards sustainable food systems, improve evidence and knowledge base of the dimensions of food systems’ sustainability across the Mediterranean, and develop investment proposals and financial options. FAO has strategically partnered with the International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies and Union for the Mediterranean for a tripartite collaboration that brings together and capitalizes on each organization’s mandate (scientific, technical, political), and comparative advantages, reflecting the holistic dimension of sustainability. The initiative has also been selected as an affiliated project of the One Planet Network’s Sustainable Food Systems Programme, a multi-stakeholder partnership comprising more than 170 members, united to implement the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production, with the goal to accelerate the shift towards more sustainable food systems. سيتمكن القارئ من معرفة المزيد عن هذه المبادرة في الأردن، حيث هدفها النهائي هو تحسين الأمن الغذائي والدخل والحالة التغذوية للسكان، فضلا عن الاستدامة البيئية في دول البحر الأبيض المتوسط، من خلال تطوير أنظمة أكثر شمولا وكفاءة. والنظم الغذائية المستدامة. ومن خلال القيام بذلك، يهدف المشروع إلى تطوير نهج نظامي عالمي للأمن الغذائي، والذي يمكن تكراره ويكون له تأثيرات مماثلة في بلدان/مناطق أخرى. سيقدم المشروع إطارًا مشتركًا تم تطويره، مبنيًا على حلول محددة السياق تعتمد على العلم والمعرفة والخبرة، ومسارات مبتكرة للتحول نحو النظم الغذائية المستدامة، وتحسين الأدلة وقاعدة المعرفة لأبعاد استدامة النظم الغذائية عبر البحر الأبيض المتوسط. ووضع المقترحات الاستثمارية والخيارات المالية. أقامت الفاو شراكة استراتيجية مع المركز الدولي للدراسات الزراعية المتقدمة في منطقة البحر الأبيض المتوسط والاتحاد من أجل المتوسط من أجل تعاون ثلاثي يجمع ويستفيد من ولاية كل منظمة (العلمية والتقنية والسياسية)، والمزايا النسبية، مما يعكس البعد الشامل للاستدامة. كما تم اختيار المبادرة كمشروع تابع لبرنامج النظم الغذائية المستدامة، وهي شراكة متعددة أصحاب المصلحة تضم أكثر من 170 عضوًا، متحدين لتنفيذ إطار العمل العشري للبرامج المتعلقة بالاستهلاك والإنتاج المستدامين، بهدف لتسريع التحول نحو نظم غذائية أكثر استدامة.

    Multi-stakeholder collaboration is an important process that can serve as a tool and strategy to solve complex issues and problems such as transforming national food systems towards more sustainable outcomes. This guide aims to support stakeholders working at all levels of the food system in the implementation of actions to transform their food systems. Centered on 5 building blocks underpinning successful multi-stakeholder collaboration for food systems transformation, the guide uses these constructions to illustrate ingredients of the process and show the interconnectedness of the steps needed to be successful. The guide also contains two annexes with a list of tools, and assessment questions. Annex 1 highlights a range of tools to support facilitators and participants with deeper guidance on a specific topic. Annex 2 contains a checklist of questions, customized to the content provided under each Building Block, and serves as an ongoing monitoring tool that can be used alongside the recommendations provided.
