Synopsis (short abstract) 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.

Executive summary. Mountain Agriculture: Opportunities for harnessing Zero Hunger in Asia 2019

Also available in:

No results found.

Mountain agriculture offers enormous opportunities for Zero Hunger. This publication conveys priority and entry points to turn the potential of mountain agriculture into real benefits for the Asian region. The publication provides analysis with evidence on how mountain agriculture could contribute to satisfying all four dimensions of food security, in order to transform food systems to be nutrition-sensitive, climate-resilient, economically-viable and locally adaptable. From this food system perspective, the priority should be given to focus on specialty mountain product identification (e.g. Future Smart Food), production, processing, marketing and consumption, which would effectively expose the potential of mountain agriculture to contribute to Zero Hunger and poverty reduction. In addition, eight Asian country case studies not only identify context-specific challenges within biophysical-technical, policy, socio-economic and institutional dimensions, but also demonstrate their experience in mountain agricultural product prioritization, production, processing and market development.
