Responsible investments in sustainable and equitable food systems by financial institutions and private investors is the normRecommended priority actions: • Use tool and instruments to measure externalities (positive and negative). • Better align private and public investments and look at linkages with social issues; tap into the potential of different types of economies and paradigms (e.g. circular economy.) • Facilitate local access of smaller amounts of capital. • Support entrepreneurs, as change-makers, which can be considered “agro-preneurs”. • Create joint actio... Leer másns between public and private sectors; identify the lock-ins and break them. • Adopt a systems approach. A cross-sectoral and cross-ministerial approach, at donor level, including issues on poverty, smallholder, livelihoods and climate change, would be a win-win. • Look at long-term benefits - “longer-term patient capital”. For example, investments in building evidence which will bring multiple benefits. • Look at smaller investments and longer-term impacts. These may need different Key Performance Indicators and other enabling conditions. • Have better knowledge of enabling conditions, including the political dimension. • On nutrition, there is a need for guidance to create enabling conditions and capture best practices. “How to build more trust amongst stakeholders”? • “Trickle down dialogues:” get this conversation beyond global/national levels to engage local changemakers.Measuring success: • Through SDG indicators. Refine them and include investment-related components. • If we are observing investments in transition (e.g. shifts from conventional to organic). A collective transition would indicate a systemic transformation. • There are already matrixes (e.g. the SDGs and other agreements), especially for investments purposes. However, some countries might not report on them. • Enabling conditions need to be better understood, and related matrices should be developed, e.g. to understand that investment-related outcomes take time.Divergence and contention: • Which investments and perverse subsidies should be discontinued? Let’s get rid of the damaging ones in the next three years. Ex: Deforestation, subsidies, waters, soils, fertilisers, desertification, etc. • Regarding trade-offs, there should be a process for just transition, to not leave farmers behind without any livelihoods. Investors/donors should invest in those schemes. • Investments that hazard basic rights should not happen.Major challenges include: • Conflicting policies. Subsidies and investments might not reach the final-level target, such as farmers. • The challenge of highly industrial food systems: diversification vs. mono-culture, for which the related value chains are highly efficient. • Data and matrixes. Sustainability should be included in data, and it should be easily accessible. Otherwise, we can be trapped into selecting only tempting data. • More sustainable consumption. Ex: Digital technology to inform producers and consumers.Opportunities directly related to the Food Systems Summit (FSS): • The findings from the FSS should be embedded in the goals of the major funding entities, with the support of countries. • Allocation of funding (development and domestic funding) should be more directed to work on data. • Leveraging platforms such as the “Food Policy Platform for Change” focused on agro-ecology. • One participant raised the idea of bringing food in the Global Commons Alliance (e.g. “Global Food Common”) Leer menos

This Dialogue was the first Global Food Systems Summit Dialogue. It was organized alongside the Sustainable Food Systems Programme Conference.The UN One Planet Network’s Sustainable Food Systems Programme (SFSP) is a multi-stakeholder partnership focused on catalyzing more sustainable food consumption and production patterns. SFSP Partners collaborate on joint initiatives, which range from normative, advocacy and policy support activities, to research and development projects as well as on-the-ground implementation activities that address our food systems challenges. The Programme promo... Leer mástes a holistic approach, taking into account the interconnections and trade-offs between all elements and actors in food systems.This context provided a good opportunity to conduct an overview of some of the major challenges faced for making food systems sustainable and equitable.Participants exchanged views about 9 discussion topics which explored the roles key stakeholders can play in making food systems sustainable: from those involved in producing, supplying foods and consuming foods – namely food producers, small and medium enterprises and consumers – to the public and private institutions which can create an environment conducive to sustainable production and consumption.The 9 discussion topics were: 1. Farmers and food producers lead the way to sustainable and equitable food systems by participating in the formulation of policies that impact them; they are supported and celebrated. 2. Small and medium enterprises thrive as drivers of sustainable local food systems - innovating, creating employment, partnering and providing healthy foods to local consumers. 3. Agrobiodiversity: Agriculture and land use strategies protect and promote agro-biodiversity and stimulate local food production, providing sustainable livelihoods and healthy diets for all. 4. Consumers worldwide have shifted to more conscious and sustainable consumption patterns, within planetary boundaries, in line with nutritional recommendations. 5. Science and Policy: Policies, actions and investments in sustainable food systems are informed by science that promotes a systems approach, appreciates impacts beyond individual sectors, and builds on traditional knowledge. 6. Governance/ Multi-stakeholder collaboration - Innovative governance and incentives at all levels foster cross-sectoral collaboration across policy areas (e.g. biodiversity, climate change, health, trade, etc). 7. Investments: Responsible and accessible investments in sustainable and equitable food systems by financial institutions and private investors are the norm. 8. Public Procurement: Governments at all levels make maximum use of their leverage power to bring about sustainable food systems transformation through procurement. 9. Policy coherence: Interlinkages and trade-offs between policy areas (e.g. agriculture, environment, health, nutrition, etc.) are actively managed through holistic and coherent food systems policies that catalyze joint action.
