Also available in:
No results found.An extended informal meeting took place during the week of 2 to 6 December during which the overall concept of PFZ was discussed and more detailed consideration was given to the design and operationalisation of its key components, especially those relating to institutional arrangements, family farming (including the special cases of land reform settlements and the North East), and broadening access to adequate food. The meeting benefited from a series of excellent presentations by invited guests (see Annex 2), most of which focussed on ongoing projects and programmes in Brazil that are considered as offering experience relevant to the design and implementation of PFZ. Many documents were assembled for reference by the Working Group (see Annex 3). These included a number of papers prepared by members of the Transition Team and national experts, following the elections, for presentation at this meeting. This brief report seeks to summarise the most important observations that a rose in the discussions and on which there appears to be a large measure of consensus. It also seeks to represent the diversity of opinions expressed during the meeting. Finally it explores possible responses of the three international institutions to the immediate challenges posed by PFZ. -
Book (stand-alone)Mountain agriculture: Opportunities for harnessing Zero Hunger in Asia 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Mountain food security and nutrition are core issues that can contribute positively to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals but paradoxically are often ignored in Zero Hunger and poverty reduction-related agenda. Under the overall leadership of José Graziano da Silva, the Former Director-General of FAO, sustainable mountain agriculture development is set as a priority in Asia and the Pacific, to effectively address this issue and assist Member Countries in tackling food insecurity and malnutrition in mountain regions. This comprehensive publication is the first of its kind that focuses on the multidimensional status, challenges, opportunities and solutions of sustainable mountain agriculture development for Zero Hunger in Asia. This publication is building on the ‘International Workshop and Regional Expert Consultation on Mountain Agriculture Development and Food Security and Nutrition Governance’, held by FAO RAP and UIR in November 2018 Beijing, in collaboration with partners from national governments, national agriculture institutes, universities, international organizations and international research institutes. The publication provides analysis with evidence on how mountain agriculture could contribute to satisfying all four dimensions of food security, 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, -
Book (stand-alone)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.
