The Partnership was developed to implement activities and achieve the objectives of the FAST Initiative, which was launched by the COP27 Presidency in 2022 in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. The aspirational goal of the FAST Partnership is to support agrifood systems transformation and implement concrete actions to improve the quantity and quality of climate finance contributions, support adaptation efforts and to maintain a 1.5-degree pathway while ensuring food and economic security. -
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. -
ProjectMainstreaming Sustainable Food and Agriculture Systems into Medium Term Policies of Mongolia for the Achievement of SDG 2 - TCP/MON/3807 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Over the past several years, Mongolia reformed its development planning. Celebrating the 95th anniversary of its first Constitution, Mongolia ratified a constitutional amendment and approved the Law on Development Policy, Planning and Management in May 2020. This led to the adoption of Vision-2050, a 30-year development policy focusing on food security and a sustainable, competitive agriculture sector. However, and despite contributing to 12 percent of Mongolia’s Gross Domestic Product and employing 24 percent of the labour force (2020 data), agriculture in the country remained unsustainable and unproductive due to outdated technology and inadequate physical and institutional infrastructure. High transportation and logistics costs, poor connectivity between farmers and consumers and market manipulation by traders exacerbated these issues, resulting in higher consumer prices and lower farmer profits. To address these challenges, the government aimed to improve the agriculture system and food supply chain through integrated policies under Vision-2050 and a new ten-year development programme launched in June 2022, which sought to ensure sustainable and inclusive food systems towards achieving the SDGs.
