Action Track 5: Build resilience to vulnerability, shocks, and stress The high dependence on rice makes Indonesia's food systems vulnerable. Low connectivity between islands causes logistics costs to rise dramatically if there is a disrupted distribution from rice production areas to areas where consumers are living due to climate change-affected disasters or the Covid-19 pandemic. As a consequence, low-income people are the most vulnerable people. Infrastructure development is one of the potential solutions. The Government’s intervention to stabilize food prices and food aid is the list of ... قراءة المزيدpossible solutions to ensure the low-income people access food. Besides, an alternative to rice is another solution. Not only local inland foods such as corn, cassava, sorghum, and sago, do we need to take coastal and marine source foods, such as Gracilaria sp seaweed for analog or artificial rice, into account as healthy alternatives to rice and to contribute to dietary diversity. Accordingly, research and innovation are key for more resilient food systems in Indonesia, the mega biodiversity country in the world. Centre for research and innovation on local seeds is also a proposed solution in this area. Small-holder food producers need protection from The Government against crop failure due to climate change-affected natural disasters, such as floods and drought. At the same time, information on climate change prediction and its mitigation is in place and accessible for them to mitigate. Farmer field school on climate, climate-resilient seeds, knowledge on water drip irrigation for example are in the small-holder farmer’s list of expectations to protect themselves from changing climate and environment. Again, research and innovation will play a key role. In the area of making regions more resilient, we highlighted the importance of marginal land development and revived or strengthened local, community, and individual-based food stocks to increase the food security of the regions. This is an institutional innovation in the area of food governance at the local level. The existing local wisdom, the so-called Gotong Royong in Java, Nganggung in Bangka, Ngayah in Bali, Marsiadapri in North Sumatra, for example, played a key role in the development of community-based food stocks where people help each other both in the normal and difficult times. We also proposed integrated farming including livestock, the protection of local seeds and other germplasm, and promoted local food and industrialization of local food to meet the population’s needs. It needs to empower farmers on sustainable agriculture and climate-smart farming, and other supports such as small-holder farmers' access to capital, technology, and financial services to contribute to the effort to the development of local food industrialization. Within these 5 action tracks focus which can identify various initiatives to formulate good policy recommendations, there seems to be one common need to support formulating good policy for food sustainable food systems which is good and valid data based on rigorous scientific exercise. The complexity of Indonesia will even emphasize more the importance of having good scientific data, facts, and evidence and put it in the higher priority in supporting a strong sustainable food systems policy development for Indonesia. قراءة القليل

Action Track 4: Advance equitable livelihoods Similar to other countries, Indonesian farmers are aging. The development of food agriculture cannot move quickly considering there is a tendency for old farmers to find it difficult to accept new knowledge and technology to increase productivity. The financial institutions and banks are also not interested in working in this agricultural sector. As a result, farmers have difficulty getting credit to develop their businesses. At the same time, not many young people are interested in working in agriculture because it does not provide them with a bet... قراءة المزيدter economic future. As mentioned in AT 3, land conversion is an issue. There is a growing perception that the agricultural sector is not as economically viable or profitable as other sectors. Worse, small-holder farmers are marginalized in the food value chain. Accordingly, this situation will threaten the effort to feed the growing population. One possible solution that can make food agriculture more economically profitable and at the same time attract young people is an inclusive business model that encourages collaboration between small-scale farmers and private businesses or state-owned enterprises. An inclusive business model can happen only if small-holder farmers are well organized. Farmer corporations that are managed in a modern way, have large members, and control large areas of land are the basis for partnerships in this inclusive business model. There is an expectation that inclusive business models are able to provide a fairer share or distribution of value for small-holder food producers. On top of that, in the macro perspective, there is also an expectation that the models can contribute to the socio-economic outcome of food systems activities: job creation, poverty alleviation, and reduced inequality. قراءة القليل

Action Track 3: Boost nature-positive production Conversion of agricultural land for food is the biggest issue in Java, which poses a threat to rice supply in the future. The population's dependence on rice is so high that the opening of rice farming land is unavoidable. Existing regulations are not able to protect this conversion process. Rice importation from the international markets is not popular among the people. The opening of new rice land on a large scale in Kalimantan, Sumatra and Papua, for example, is not easy to do. In addition to land that is not as fertile and suitable for rice ... قراءة المزيدas in Java, land clearing has the potential for conflict with efforts to reduce deforestation, which is high in Indonesia. Agricultural land in Sumatra, for example, must give up if the same land is to be used as mining land which is considered more economically profitable. Another challenge is that farmers in those areas do not have a similar capacity with rice farmers in Java. The development of new rice land then requires the development of human resource capacity. Instead of prioritizing rice agricultural development, the promotion of local food crops as discussed in other Action Tracks is a possible solution to address this land conversion trend. Excessive use of chemical fertilizers also needs to be taken seriously because it has been proven to have damaged soil fertility as well as environmental sustainability. There is a proposal to shift the subsidies from agricultural inputs, such as chemical fertilizer, to agricultural output, such as fairer and more affordable prices. At a more practical recommendation, new technologies and knowledge to support climate-smart agriculture and to increase productivity and at the same time not to cause environmental degradation as well should be in place to ensure agricultural activities to be more economically viable and environmentally friendly. قراءة القليل

Action Track 2: Shifting to sustainable consumption patterns Changes in food consumption patterns have occurred in almost all levels of society. The biggest challenge is the low level of food literacy among the people. Massive advertisement in printed mass media, social media, and television has changed people's views about food. A lot of people have changed their views on food and have a perception that local food is out of date. This type of demand push driven overrides the supply push driven and undermines the need for good and safe nutritious food for their diets As a result, local food cr... قراءة المزيدops, such as sago, cassava, and sorghum, have become increasingly unpopular in Indonesia over the past few decades. In addition to the disappearance of local food crops, people's dependence on rice and imported food-based processed food such as wheat is getting higher. Another trend is that changes in consumption patterns have led to a significant increase in obesity and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Processed food that is high in salt, sugar, and fat will put consumers in a disadvantage situation where people have to pay the price for the economic and health costs affected by the increasing occurrence of these NCDs. Ultra-processed food is high in salt, sugar, and fat. Accordingly, people have to pay the price for the economic and health costs affected by these diseases. The 'Isi Piringku' campaign on diversified diets consisting of nutrient-rich sources of food is interesting but not as strong in people's minds as the Empat Sehat dan Lima Sempurna' campaigns that used to be so popular. There is a need for more massive promotion of healthy food with creative communication strategies and the use of communication channels that are well-known to certain audiences. For the youth, for example, healthy food campaigns can take advantage of social media, such as Instagram and TikTok, which are popular among them. At the household level, awareness-raising on healthy food consumption should target both men and women, with women as the main target of the campaign considering that they are the main decision-makers in food procurement. In addition to food literacy, there is also a need to organize public awareness about responsible consumption. Indonesia is known as the second-largest food waste producer in the world. We need to revive the food taboo, as local wisdom, which was once known by almost all ethnic groups in Indonesia, which stated that throwing away food was a disgraceful act. This taboo is no longer remembered or consistently taken into account by the public. New knowledge and technology must be introduced to the public to minimize food waste along with supportive government regulation. The cold supply chain is an unavoidable technology to prevent perishable food, such as fruit, vegetables, meats, into food waste when it is distributed from the production area to the area where consumers are living. This technology is strongly needed considering the low connectivity between regions in Indonesia as an archipelago country. There is an expectation that the Government will reduce excessive attention and intervention on rice and encourage farmers to cultivate local food crops suitable to the character of the individual area and its local tradition and values. There is already a grassroots movement to protect seeds through seed banks, mapping, and planting of local food, including local rice, in several places in Indonesia that can grow well in their native areas without high intervention such as food crops imported from outside. Databases on local food should be strengthened to support these initiatives. Processing and packaging are issues that need to be taken into account so that locally processed food can be accepted by the public. The government needs to provide incentives for these local food producers to develop and be able to introduce their food in the markets. In addition, the government can encourage and provide incentives for the private sector to use local food content along with wheat for the production of instant noodles which are so popular in Indonesia. قراءة القليل

Action Track 1: Ensure access to safe and nutritious food for all Improving the availability and affordability of food is still a commonly proposed solution to overcome food insecurity, which still occurs in different degrees across all regions in Indonesia. Many areas in Indonesia still depend on food supplies from other areas because their land is not suitable for cultivating certain food crops. Even if suitable land is available, it cannot produce enough to meet the needs of the population living in these areas. Only a small part of Indonesia’s land is able to properly produce rice, which... قراءة المزيد is the population’s main staple food. The long and complicated food distribution chain must be made more cost-efficient. A proper logistics system is paramount to ensure food is available in every area at all times and accessible to all the population. Low connectivity between the islands results in high logistic costs, resulting in a dramatic increase in prices. Interventions from the Government are needed to address these issues. Food price fluctuations negatively impact the food security of the low-income population, who spend more than 50 percent of their total income on food. All regions in Indonesia should also be encouraged to promote their local food as alternatives to foods that require transporting from other areas. As a mega-biodiversity country, Indonesia will easily fit this purpose with its varied types of local food crops. In addition to availability and affordability, we also took safe and nutritious food into account in the dialogues. Food literacy is proposed as a key intervention, considering that some people are still unfamiliar with the nutritional value and the safety of food in the markets. Fruit and vegetable, animal meat and fish consumption is still low. Unaffordable food prices have become an issue in some communities. In terms of food safety, food standards and traceability are crucial. In line with their implementation, the Government is committed to providing technical and financial assistance to small and medium enterprises working in the food sector to meet the existing standards. The low-income population is the most vulnerable group considering they are the main consumers of food produced by these SMEs. The needs for safety aspects of foods particularly occur in household-scale industries, street foods, and SMEs as well as on farms and post-harvest handling due to contaminations and environmental climate that may produce unsafe foods or huge. Finally, additional resources should be provided to ensure safe and nutritious food in remote, outermost, and underdeveloped areas, starting from human resources, infrastructure, and appropriate technology. The Government is expected to work with the private sector to provide fortified and biofortified food at affordable prices to overcome micronutrient deficiencies among the low-income population, as they are less financially capable of accessing healthy food. Food assistance programs for the vulnerable population are also proposed as a complementary solution. At the community level, food donations from retailers, restaurants, other food processors, and food-sharing initiatives need to be supported to continue to provide healthy foods for low-income communities, as unutilized food surplus turns into waste. Food waste is a loss of economic opportunity and nutritional value for low-income communities. Similarly important are interventions by the Government to ensure food safety and safe storage so that these foods could last longer. Finally, there is also an expectation for the Government to encourage the people both at the individual and community levels in urban areas to produce their own food through urban farming. Organized people working in urban agriculture can take advantage of idle land. Incentives, both fiscal and non-fiscal, need to be provided to those involved in urban agriculture, including the landowners. In addition, the community needs to be able to access the knowledge and technology that are simple, environmentally friendly, and with a circular approach, using little water, which allows narrow land in urban areas to produce a high yield. قراءة القليل

The Sub-National FSSDs have covered a broad range of issues related to food systems transformation. The adoption of five global action tracks in the discussion group has contributed to the comprehensiveness of the results of the dialogue. The Sub-National FSSDs have provided opportunities to local stakeholders to express issues, concerns, and problems related to the food system in each region and proposed possible game-changing solutions and best practices. In the six regions (Sumatra, Java, Bali and Nusa Tenggara, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Maluku, Papua), there are specific cases, concerns, a... قراءة المزيدnd game-changing solutions depending on the local context and characteristics of each region, therefore, there is no one size fits for all solutions. In the Papua region, the participants we raised the concern on the lack of infrastructure and logistic support that contributes to the low accessibility to healthy and nutritious food for people in the region. There was a suggestion based on a study that local production is low, hence needing to be improved. The participants We proposed to promote local food sources such as sago, tubers, and other local food resources to consume for the people living in Papuan. There is a need to do research and innovation, product development, and marketing to advance the role of local foods. Other concerns are related to food security indicators, which we participants proposed local indicators that are more suitable with the context of Papua. In Sulawesi and Maluku Regions, the participants are concerned about the vulnerability of the regions regarding natural disasters that negatively impact food production and supply. Food stock management and logistic support to enhance people's access to foods in the regions is a must. Not only terrestrial-based food development, but we also propose research and innovation to develop blue food (coastal and marine-based food). Farmer capacity and institutional building are needed such as cooperation and farmers' corporations to enable small-scale food producers to engage in the value chains as well as more specific forms of capacity building, such as farmers' field school on climate change. In the Sumatra region, there are issues raised related to food safety due to increasing intensity in food distribution in the regions. It needs proper monitoring and support in place to ensure all of them meet the health and safety aspects of food for the consumers. The empowerment of the small-scale and medium (SMEs) to produce healthy and nutritious food in the regions is apparent. The participants We proposed integrated farming, reduced food loss and waste, and innovation of technologies to support food systems transformation in the regions. In the Java region, the participants are concerned about the increasing rates of agricultural land conversion and stressing the importance of land use and spatial planning policies to support food production. The participants also raised the issues on food safety, food loss and waste, and the fairness of food value chains in the region. It needs to support farmer empowerment on sustainable agriculture and organic farming, increase their access to capital, information, and technology with the support from the public-private partnerships and link them to research institutions and universities. In Bali and Nusa Tenggara regions, the participant highlighted the importance of marginal land development and strengthened local food stocks to increase the food security of the regions, particularly in disaster-prone areas. Participant, We proposed integrated farming including livestock, the protection of local seeds and other germplasm, and promoted local food and diversification of consumption. It needs to empower farmers on sustainable agriculture and climate-smart farming, and other supports such as small-holder farmers' access to capital, technology, and financial services. In the Kalimantan region, the participants stressed the protection of customary land and the promotion of local knowledge and wisdom on food production. There is a need to develop appropriate technologies and sustainable agriculture to improve land/soil management, particularly in peatland areas. They also expected an open opportunity for local small-holder farmers to participate in the development of the food estate program and to get benefits from it and other forms of partnership models. The participants in the region also highlighted the importance of the promotion of local food stock management based on the local culture and wisdom. The participants call for the government to take into account the improvement of food security in the intra-country border, remote and under-developed areas. In all regions, there are some common issues raised by the participants such as the importance of food literacy, research, and innovation, improving the food value chain, data-driven policy and program support for sustainable agriculture, and enhancing farmers' access to capital, information, and technology and building resilience of food systems to climate change. The participant agreed that food systems in Indonesia should reflect the context of Indonesia as an archipelagic country. . After thorough discussion and observation, there is a commonality that all these uniqueness and regional or even local specific character must be supported by adequate facts and scientific evidence in order to formulate a relevant appropriate policy towards sustainable food systems. قراءة القليل

The Sub-National Food Systems Summit Dialogue (FSSD) focuses on the sub-national level to explore more perspectives and inputs from local stakeholders. This is also the process of verification and validation of the result of the first national dialogues in April 2021. Due to its geographical location, the dialogues were organized in six regions: Sumatra, Kalimantan, Java, Sulawesi-Maluku, Bali, and Nusa Tenggara, Papua. This aimed at covering the diversity of food systems in Indonesia as an archipelagic country and enhancing the process of food system regionalization. The objectives of the dia... قراءة المزيدlogues are: (i) gathering inputs and ideas, as well as share learning and experiences of local stakeholders from six regions on food systems transformation in Indonesia, (ii) validating, verification and justification of the results of the first national dialogues with the local evidence, experiences and best practices, (iii) collecting the ideas and inputs on action areas and game changing solution for food system transformation. The Sub-National Food Systems Dialogues have involved a broad range of stakeholders such as national and subnational government institutions, private sectors and business associations, civil society organizations including small-scale producers and family farming groups, youth, women and consumer organizations, customary communities, and UN-based organizations in Indonesia. The Indonesian FSSDs both at the national and sub-subnational level have been developed as part of the implementation of the national food systems transformation agenda as stated in Law 18/2020 on Food. The law is a regulatory framework to ensure food systems transform in the right direction and make sufficient, affordable, safe, good quality, and nutritionally balanced diets available to all. The Government of Indonesia (GoI) has made bold commitments on food systems, with the Presidential Decree 18/2020 on Mid-term National Development Plan 2020-2024 by establishing food systems transformation as one of the national policy priorities. The Sub-National Food System Dialogues are a holistic, comprehensive and system approach through public participation and multi-stakeholder process to develop national strategy on food system transformation. Similar to the FSSD at the national level, the sub-national level dialogues were organized based on Five Global Action Tracks as a framework in the process and analysis. The Indonesian Sub-National FSSDs have drawn upon the expertise of actors from across Indonesia’s food systems. Based on these tracks, the Indonesian Sub-National FSSDs have provided a purposeful forum for stakeholders to share their views on how to advance progress towards food systems transformation, map their respective roles, identify and minimize potential trade-offs across sectors and intervention, for comprehensive and upscaled results, as well as to identify game-changing solutions that can change the ways in which food systems operate. In other words, the Sub-National FSSDs are a process of multi-stakeholder dialogues to develop pathways of food systems transformation in Indonesia. قراءة القليل

What might this involvement look like? ... قراءة المزيدWhat needs to be done? By whom?] A list of research and development organisations and projects currently working on aspects of food systems submitted information and a description of their capability and area of work. Comments and suggestions from online participants also provided more emphasis in some key areas which had less focus in the main presentation. These included: better understanding of food safety risks and causes; causes and possible solutions to infant malnutrition in mountainous areas; importance of diversification and higher-value markets in large-scale, low priced food crops; importance of engaging SME’s, particularly food processors to improve nutrition; importance for understanding trade-offs to identify practical food system solutions in poor marginalized communities; and need to improve skills, knowledge and market connectivity of cooperatives. A key question going forward, is how can sharing of ideas, coordination and collaboration between these, and many other relevant stakeholders, organisations and projects working in the food system be improved and operationalised. What changes will be made to the current situation of fragmented institutional and project design and implementation. What concrete actions, mechanisms and initiatives will be implemented. By whom? One area of divergence will be how Vietnam can both modernise food production and increase whilst simultaneously implement a rapid transition towards a low carbon “green economy”, at the same time ensuring protection of the environment and strengthening resilience of vulnerable groups to risk and shocks, particularly from the ongoing impacts of the pandemic, climate change and natural disasters. Progressing this agenda, whilst also tackling persistent malnutrition in mountainous areas, and the rapidly emerging health and nutrition issues associated with unhealthy diet in urban areas, requires the serious transition from a food production to food systems focus. Only a food system approach can assist tackle this complexity and multiple trade-offs. قراءة القليل

A summary of key views and outcomes from international bilateral and multilateral organizations represented at the Dialogue is provided below. There was broad and strong commitment to working with the Government of Vietnam, through a variety of modalities, initiatives, regions, and thematic areas towards the development of sustainable food systems. • The United Nations in Vietnam is committed to working side by side with and providing support to the government of Vietnam in strong partnership with development partners and other stakeholders working on food systems. The UN is prepared to prov... قراءة المزيدide technical and financial assistance to support the development of inclusive and sustainable food, value chains and market systems, promote business opportunities for the rural population, and strengthen resources and markets to enhance linkages and economic transformation while improving employment and income opportunities and reinforcing sustainable livelihoods. The UN will support Vietnam in developing national pathways towards inclusive and sustainable food systems, and for Vietnam to use its scarce public resources to leverage responsible private investment to support this transformation in food systems. • The World Bank in Vietnam offered full support as Vietnam moves forwards and faces multiple food system challenges. The World Bank can provide global technical expertise to some of these very complex problems. It can provide financing and knowledge work as needed working in partnership with other colleagues and development partners. The most urgent priorities for Vietnam’s food systems were: 1. climate change mitigation; 2. climate change adaptation; 3. food safety and a focus on higher quality, higher value food, and: 4. challenge associated with changing demography, in particular the impact of an aging rural labour force, and outmigration. • Canada is supporting food systems related initiatives in Vietnam through strengthening food value chains, increasing farmers' incomes through cooperative enterprise development, improving food safety, enhancing gender equality, and protecting the environment. The Food for Growth Project is working to improve food safety across select value chains in Vietnam. In addition, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency recently signed an MOU with MARD to support enhanced sanitary and phytosanitary measures and approaches in Vietnam. The Ambassador said that Canada remains committed to supporting Vietnam's efforts to transform its food systems and ensure that they are transparent, responsible, and sustainable. • The Netherlands highlighted three ingredients for successful transformation of Vietnam’s food systems: 1. strong leadership; 2. Multistakeholder involvement by ensuring provincial governments are participating and engaging their local expertise and by including farmers and the private partners; and 3. a strong interface between science and policy making to increase evidence-based decision making. The agricultural transformation program in the Mekong Delta headed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and supported by the Netherlands and several international partners was proposed as an illustrative model with these ingredients to enhance Vietnam’s potential by moving from food chains to food systems. • The United States mission to Vietnam extended an invitation for Vietnam to join the AIM for Climate initiative during the upcoming FSS. Announced by the United States and the United Arab Emirates during President Biden's leaders’ summit for climate, the Agriculture Innovation Mission for Climate or “AIM for Climate” aims to increase and accelerate global innovation and research. And development on agriculture and food systems in support of climate action. AIM for Climate partners will mobilize new investment in climate smart agriculture and generate better coordination and cooperation. It was emphasized that sustainable food systems are critical to addressing climate change, and the need to promote the adoption of climate smart agriculture practices and other low emissions practices and food systems. Doing so will enhance resilience of food systems to climate change. The food قراءة القليل

Below are a summary views, ideas, and responses to the discussion questions about proposed food systems transformation solutions and pathways provided by National and Provincial Government stakeholders, industry associations and the private sector to the 2nd National Dialogue. • The Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) outlined Vietnam’s achievements towards Sustainable Development Goals 2030. The first national five-year progress report towards SDG goals (recorded prior to the outbreak covid-19) show that Vietnam is likely to reach five out of seventeen targets by year 2030. These in... قراءة المزيدclude Goal 1 and Goal 2, which are directly related to the food and nutrition system. Whilst Vietnam has improved food production and national food security, reduced hunger across the country, and doubled income in rural areas a lot more work remains to be done. Better coordination between stakeholders is needed, along with financial support and technology transfer from development partners. The impact of COVID-19 is expected to increase the prevalence of extreme poverty. To withstand serious long-term impacts of the pandemic, it is essential to strengthen food production systems to ensure food security, especially for poor households, vulnerable people and reduce inequality in society. Increasing resilience to climate change, and strengthening orientation of small farmers towards sustainability, higher quality, and value of agricultural products are also priorities. Finally, the application of improved technologies, strengthening value chain linkages between producers and consumers, and better support farmer’s organisations, particularly cooperatives is required. • The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT)is committed to the development of transparent, responsible, and sustainable food systems in Vietnam. MOIT will work closely with the Ministry of Agriculture and other Ministries, Departments, as well as businesses and industry associations to achieve these outcomes. A key development is a new agreement between MARD and MOIT signed on July 13. This facilitates greater coordination across the production, processing and export of agricultural products, with the broad aim to intensify production and promote Vietnamese agricultural products and brands in the domestic and international markets. A cross-Ministry task force will work on seven solution areas: 1. Agriculture intensification and modernization; 2. Promoting market-oriented production; 3. Removal of trade barriers and taxes; 4. Trade promotion of Vietnamese agricultural and fishery product brands to overseas markets; 5. Support for local production of specialized agricultural products; 6. Improve management of illegal markets, trade fraud and counterfeit goods; and 7. Improve quality and safety of agricultural products. • The National Institution of Nutrition (NIN) within the Ministry of Health (MOH) described that in Vietnam today, uneven food distribution, rapidly changing consumption patterns and increasingly unhealthy diets are creating a serious double burden of malnutrition. This includes the persistent problem of undernourishment and micronutrient deficiency, particularly amongst children in mountainous and ethnic minority communities. The other problem is increasingly unhealthy diets amongst urban consumers, including increasing consumption of meat, salt and sugary foods which are driving up rates of overweight and obesity, particularly in children. Linked to this is the higher incidence of cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus and cancer, and associated deaths. In a new initiative MOH and MARD will coordinate to develop regional food balance sheets to identify local food accessibility and supply gaps to better coordinate local food production, rather than just focus on productivity. • The United Nations key overall message from the UN Resident Coordinator was that the 2nd National Dialogue has shown the UNFSS is extremely important, timely and critical, and deserves the attention of Heads of State level in September. FAO and all other UN agencies will continue to support Vietnam’s active participation in the Summit. Vietnam has an important contribution to make i قراءة القليل

The opening remarks of Deputy Prime-Minister Mr. Phạm Bình Minh and conclusions of Mr. Lê Minh Hoan, the Minister for Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) respectively laid out the vision of Vietnam’s proposed pathway for food system transformation by 2030to ensure access to safe, nutritious and balanced food for its population of 100 million people, and become a transparent, responsible and sustainable food producer and supplier, making bold contribution to global food security. Several initiatives and key interventions were proposed: i) Scale up farmer-market linkage innovations, e... قراءة المزيدspecially those initiated and built up from the ground namely “our garden”. This model is considered the best practice, which strengthens partnership between farmers and other actors, especially consumers, and promotes integration of multiple values in food value chains such as quality, culture, green, inclusiveness, transparency, accountability and sustainability through co-creation, co-ownership and co-responsibility principles. Such creative initiatives can serve as building blocks for all actors in the food system to share values, responsibilities, actions and benefits across economic, social and environmental dimensions; ii) Intensify research and development and transfer of technology in response to demands of businesses and requirements for the development of transparent, responsible and sustainable food systems; enhance cooperation and assistance in study, forecasting and building of disaster, disease risk warning, and integrated management systems with credit and livelihood support packages in the context of Covid-19, climate change and agricultural diseases and pests; Promote the digital transformation and develop the digital economy in agriculture by encouraging firms and farmers to apply digital technology to their production and value chain management processes, including agricultural services. The digital transformation will go hand in hand with the green transformation and will be closely linked to the institutional innovation process in order to develop integrated food systems with multiple values, including economic, cultural, social, landscape and environmental ones; iii) Strengthen domestic and international innovation networks. Specifically, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has been and will intensify its partnership with the World Economic Forum to promote the Initiatives on “Food Innovation Hub in Asia” and “100 Million Farmers Initiative: Transitioning towards net-zero, nature-positive food systems”. MARD has also participated in “the Agriculture Innovation Mission for Climate initiative” initiated by the United States and the United Arab Emirates. In addition, MARD has made a joint statement on “Agriculture development and sustainable food system for the monsoon tropics” initiated by Japan together with some other ASEAN countries; iv) Viet Nam defines that its Food systems need to be transformed into “green”, sustainable and low-emission direction. Due attention should be given to eco-friendly and climate smart agricultural production. Viet Nam aims at advancing low-emission and sustainable agricultural development, and strives to reach net-zero emissions. Viet Nam also considers this an opportunity to promote “green” growth/circular economy and the development of new “green” products, services and jobs; v) Formulate and update the national food balance sheet as the basis for production and distribution; at the same time, intensify education and awareness-raising to promote more healthy and nutritionally balanced eating habits for all, and reduce food loss and food waste, to shift to more healthy, sustainable, and responsible consumption patterns; vi) Enhance the collaboration and information sharing in sustainable management of natural and water resources, including trans-boundary water resources, marine resources and South-South cooperation. At a high level, it appears to be strong alignment, between the Government’s vision, pathways and priorities, and commitments of food system actors as well as other stakeholders. The most frequent and common issues to Viet Nam, raised by stakeholders includes the imminent seriousness of the climate change crisis, and the market viability. These form major challenges and critical impact on food security, sustainable livelihoods of smallholder farmers as well as poor people and other vulnerable groups. Inclusive and equitable transformation, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and rapid transition towards a low carbon “green economy” whilst ensuring inclusive growth and protection of the environment and vulnerable groups was a repeated theme. Another area of broad consensus was the importance for better inter- and intra-institutional and sector collaboration and coordination. Particularly between National and Provincial Government Ministries and Departments, but also with and between the private sector, research and development organisations and civil society. Vietnam recognizes the need to take concrete actions to promote cooperation, create additional external forces to support the formation and development of a smart food system adapted to climate change and sustainability, ensuring food security and nutrition not only for nearly 100 million Vietnamese people but also contributing to ensuring world food security. Particularly in the complicated context of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. The food systems framework provides a multidisciplinary and multi-level cooperation approach in line with Vietnam's current action prog قراءة القليل
