Major focus
This dialogue focused on FSS Action Track 3 and the vision statement for the workshop discussions was: "A nature-positive food production that contributes to increased food security while at the same time protects natural ecosystems, biodiversity and rehabilitates degraded landscapes/seascapes". To further facilitate the discussions, key questions raised were: What are the trade-offs or main barriers to reach the vision statement? How does this relate to Sweden – what is our role in this? How can we realize the human right to food within the boundaries of the planet. The opening of the dialo

The first session focused on the key challenges of the current global food system and the changes required to address food insecurity, health, environment and power inequalities. A representative from a global farmers’ association was the first speaker: Estrella Penunia, Secretary General of the Asian Farmers’ Association for Sustainable Rural Development. She raised key challenges and needs of the 13 million farmers her association represents, so that they can produce enough food for their households and the market in a sustainable manner. The second speaker was Emile Frison, Member of the International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems, IPES-Food and the Africa Europe Foundation Agriculture Strategy Group, who raised the necessary transformations and lock-ins with the current global food system. Then, Martin Persson, Associate Professor at Chalmers University of Technology, connected these challenges with Sweden by giving a picture of how consumption in Sweden affects the global environment. The next session focused on good examples of sustainable methods and perspectives from different parts of the world. In this session, cases were presented by Million Belay, General Coordinator, Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA); Amy Ickowitz, Senior Scientist and Team Leader, Sustainable Landscapes & Livelihoods at the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) in Bogor, Indonesia; and Richard Bemaronda, Project Manager Marine Ecosystems and Fisheries Program at Community Action for Nature Conservation (CANCO), Kenya. In different ways, all panelists highlighted local food systems that provide nutritious food, while not degrading ecosystems. The importance of addressing drivers of ecosystem degradation and the need to restore land- and seascapes for enhanced food-security and resilience were additional perspectives raised, as well as the need to learn from existing “nature positive” food systems that have been used for a long time by local communities and indigenous populations as agroecological practices and forest foods. قراءة القليل
