Main Findings: Part 1: • The ocean is under threat - discuss five drivers- heating, deoxygenation, acidification, marine plastic, and chemical pollution o Global ocean heat content change in the upper 2000m is rising - fish follow warm currents which flux around the globe with currents so these changing currents and temperatures will greatly change fish migration in an arguably unpredictable manner. And we depend too heavily on these stocks of food. o Also we mentioned deoxygenation. Can be activated by ocean warming from climate change. Heating from climate change leads to increasingly sepa... Leer másrated water columns as water doesn't mix. So, the circulation of cooler oxygenated water occurs less, and less oxygen is exchanged from the atmosphere into the seas. This causes stress on marine life. Deoxygenation also occurs due to runoff from human activities like in agriculture. Excess nutrient runoff from fertilizers, untreated sewage cause eutrophication and the manifestation of dead zones in our oceans. The ocean lost 2% of its oxygen from 1960-2010. This by extension affects humans, not just aquatic life. Deoxygenation reduces biodiversity, biomass and habitat for fish, leading to reduced fish landings, lower economic profit and adversely affects smaller scale fisheries limited in technology and ability to fish elsewhere. o The rate of marine acidification is alarming. Since industrial revolution, CO2 emission have made the oceans ~30% more acidic. Although it has been as low as today before, this was 20 million years ago, and current life is not adapted to these levels and many may not adapt fast enough to endure it given the fast rate of pH decline. Shellfish and coral (contain Calcium) are weakening, making species vulnerable to predation, infection and developmental abnormalities that decrease fitness. We depend on these species directly or indirectly for food. o Marine plastic and chemical pollution: directly kill all creatures from small invertebrates to large mammals, making food chains less stable and vulnerable to collapse • Many unsustainable practices that are avoidable continue to occur (overfishing, subsidizing fuel for ships, bottom trawling, squid fishing continuously, shark finning only taking fins and dumping the body overboard, transhipments, slavery, bad practise unintentionally catching birds) • The biosphere underpins society and our economy. It is in our best interests to support a planet with strong foundations to support development and improvement of our economies. This requires us to radically change aspects of our ocean food systems to move to more sustainable livelihoods. Part 2: • CEO of The Seaweed Company which provides an ethical solution to the oceans crisis that supports a biodiverse ocean as well as human food production. • Farming greed red and brown seaweed in geographically suitable conditions for these taxonomic groups and supporting local people to set up these farms so they then buy the harvest off them. Decentralising the practice, providing income, and increasing income for smallholder farmers rather than leaving them behind in the move to more sustainable ocean farming after unsustainable practices or market competition puts smallholder farmers out of business, threatening coastal community livelihoods. It also supports ocean regeneration which benefits human health and wellbeing. Leer menos

Discussion Topic Outcomes: Question: “In relation to the session topic, what actions can you recommend and how best can they be supported at personal, community or government level that help both ocean biodiversity and human food supply?” Overarching themes: 1. Actions that benefit both biodiversity and food supply are possible but often, to see benefits to food supply one must look into the long-term benefits of sustainable actions 2. Biggest difference will come from governmental, top-down policies that better regulate sustainable relationships with the ocean and support sustainable prac... Leer mástices whilst not leaving fishermen behind in the transition ▪ Governments should shift subsidies to more sustainable farming practices (such as The Seaweed Company) or provide alternatives for farmers to transition to sustainable practises, supporting them economically and not leaving them behind ▪ Stop blaming consumers for the broken system 3. However, the collective actions of lots of people and changing consumer behaviour through educating them on the ocean’s environmental issues and making it easier for people to live sustainably. This is important as there often exists a vast psychological distance between consumers and the sourcing, journey and impacts of their food. • Personal level: 1. Sustainable packaging, reducing plastic packaging, reuse grocery bags for routine shopping 2. Exercise purchasing power 3. Purchase in bulk 4. Reduce food waste 5. Stop storage of food in plastic for long term to avoid chemical transfer 6. Positive reinforcement for positive action in plastic reduction and plant-based diet advocacy • Community level: 1. Cleaning the rivers and water bodies that feed oceans Increase advocacy 2. Applaud plastic action in plastic cleaning and proper disposal 3. Increased Advocacy 4. Share experiences 5. Enforce by-laws 6. Educate fishermen on how to work sustainably or change their methods (e.g., to aquaculture combined with other practices) and financially incentivise them to cooperate • Government level: 1. Laws to separate organic food from non-organic using non plastic packaging 2. Regulate plastic use for single use (EU single plastic directive) 3. Regulate plastic export since it is now considered hazardous waste like in the UK 4. Incentives to plant-based advocates 5. Invest in better marketing sustainably sourced foods 6. Subsidies for plant-based agricultural production and transition away from subsidizing animal agriculture/ reduce it at least. Importantly, include animal farmers in the transition, help them move to plant-based farming through training, loaning material and supporting them economically 7. Support smallholder farmers more and less support of monopolies, decentralizing the system Leer menos

Areas of Divergence: • Participants disagreed sometimes about whether the consumer should have to pay for more ethically sourced food from the oceans or not! • There was discussion on the ability to live sustainably with the ocean while extracting resources from it, especially for the local people.

The private sector actors believe that they are doing their best to contribute to research and development whilst academia and researchers believe that the private sector has a lot more role to play in food systems transformation when it comes to setting the agenda for research and in funding research. Private sector actors intimated that researcher do not know how to deal with private sector or businesses and that research cannot be funded without profit generation as the ultimate goal in the short-medium term. Therefore, researchers must know how to work closely with the private sector in or... Leer másder to attract funding. The issues of leadership in the delivery of extension services (dissemination of innovation) was also a point of divergence as stakeholders intimated that the private sector can play the leadership role as the public extension services are woefully inadequate.

1. Establishment of a national research fund: We need to prioritize investment in agriculture. Government should set up a dedicated fund purposely to support research. Government should commit to make budgetary allocation to this fund. Private sector should be encouraged to invest in the research fund. 2. Need for private sector participation in collaborating and funding agricultural research. Private sector should collaborate with researchers in setting objective research agenda to drive innovation in Africa. This requires a constructive stakeholder dialogue for a clear transition path. Partn... Leer másership with private sector should be at the onset of research objectives. Research institutions should know how to relate with private sector. The research institutes should coerce the private sector to work with them and give the private sector the advantage of commercializing new products. 3. Governments should more proactively support the development and use of new technologies, including ICTs and biotechnology. There is the need to promote ICT to take advantage of the youth bulge in Africa that portends for a more technology-induced food systems transformation. There is need to develop a digital driven agricultural policy aimed at attracting the youth engagement in food systems. 4. Need to for science research journalism to communicate innovations effectively to end users. The media is too silent, not communicating science-based innovation to the populace. There is the need to train media on science-based communication. 5. Commitment to strengthening the capacities within research institutions. There is need to train more research scientist. Also, there should be more collaboration between universities and research institutions to do basic research on new innovations. Also, strengthen collaboration with advance research institutions. 6. Strengthen research extension farmer linkages. Extension agents should be aware of new innovation developed by researchers and disseminate innovations to farmers. Private extension has role to play in spearheading the transfer of information from the researcher to the farmers. 7. Prioritize food safety issues to reduce postharvest losses. 8. Need for mechanization, irrigation, improved varieties that are adapted locally. Link farmers to reliable markets 9. Improve infrastructure to make technology accessible to farmers. 10. There should be a national focus on developing value chains of key staple crops. Leer menos

Our key finding are outline below: It was clear that in many African countries gender favourable policies have been put in place however they have not been operationalised, therefore there is need for operationalization of gender policies. The dialogue findings affirmed the need for addressing legal dualism by formulating policies that address cultural interference in policy implementation. Capacity limitation for women entrepreneurs emerged as the key constraint hindering their equal participation in food systems, therefore a recommendation was made to develop the capacity of women entreprene... Leer másurs in technical, business and soft skills. Given the emerging digital economy amplified by COVID-19 pandemic coupled by Africa's wide digital gender gap, the need to promote interventions that increase women’s access to digital technologies and strengthen digital literacy proved to be imperative. It was observed that the current extension and advisory services are not gender responsive hence the need to design and support gender responsive extension and advisory services to reach women agri-preneurs more effectively. It was broadly agreed that the key factors that impede women agri-preneurs’ access to finance and capital are lack of collateral, high interest rates and poor collaboration between stakeholders, therefore developing gender responsive financial and business support services coupled with diverse financial schemes, interest free loans and grant to small enterprises, incentives to financial institutions to accept alternative forms of forms of collateral. Finally, it was concluded that there is need to support innovation and research addressing gender and business success. Leer menos

There was a call for a fundamental change in how ‘value’ is perceived by companies and at the broader society as present systems undervalue women’s contributions, especially in the area of unpaid care work. It was agreed that developing gender responsive systems will require making fundamental changes to meeting women’s needs. Rather than trying to make women fit into current systems or practices, new systems that are women friendly need to be devised to include alternative collateral systems, gender responsive procurement to ensure women can engage in value chains. Participants attrib... Leer másuted limited business growth among the majority of women owned agro-enterprises in Africa to poor access to finance, market information, technologies and women’s limited technical and business capacities and knowledge. The absence of post-training support and follow-up also contribute to low business growth. They identified fostering a growth-oriented mindset among women entrepreneurs through training and mentoring as a potential solution. It was observed that women entrepreneurs tend to be concentrated in specific value chain areas partly because most women go into agribusiness out of economic necessity to provide for their families as opposed to pursuing an opportunity. It is thus necessary to provide open-source business and market information and step by step business guidance through channels and format that are easily accessible and attractive to women. It was underscored that the existence of well-established networks including VALUE4HER, AWAN-Afrika, Nourishing Africa among others, that provide platforms for women in agribusiness to raise their voices at local and continental level. Better connectivity has helped to strengthen women’s networks but opportunities for improvement in this area still exist. Participants pointed out that women members of cooperatives and producer associations (estimated at 30%) tend to be older and noted that the poorest and least educated women tend not to join these groups or choose people to represent them who do not have their best interest at heart. It was emphasized that it is important for women not to just belong to collectives, but to take ownership of these groups to make their demands heard. Most African women agri-preneurs, particularly in rural areas, have limited access to information and business networks. It was noted that the switch to virtual communication, e-opportunities and on-line platforms during the COVID-19 pandemic has increased women’s marginalization. It was voiced that improving women’s access to information and business networks is critical for moving women agri-preneurs away from production related activities to more profitable processing and value addition enterprises. Participants broadly agreed that the key factors that impede women agri-preneurs’ access to finance and capital are lack of collateral, high interest rates and poor collaboration between stakeholders. They suggested developing diverse financial schemes for different agricultural products like different schemes for seasonal crops, annual, and perennial crops, providing interest free loans and grants to micro and small enterprises Women agri-preneurs’ low use of digital technologies holds them back in several areas, notably, accessing digital financial services, markets and information and prevents them from taking full advantage of social media and digital agribusiness platforms such as VALUE4HER to grow their agri-enterprise. It was emphasized that publicizing information on agriculture related tools and equipment particularly through information channels used by women producers, explore innovative ways to improve women’s digital education and use of digital technologies and spaces by, for example, organizing women agri-preneurs into collectives headed by a tech-savvy leader.

While lack of access to capital to purchase or use mechanized technologies was identified as the biggest challenge, others believed it was the general lack of awareness about tools and equipment and their costs, a lack of knowledge and skills on how to use tools and equipment and many women being intimidated by tools, technologies and equipment that are largely used by men that hinders women from using mechanization services.

Для решения вышеуказанных проблем и достижения целей, нужно вовлечь государство, фермеров, малый и средний бизнес, а также разных инвесторов и доноров. В первую очередь должны быть подготовлены специалисты в этой сфере и далее уже проводить различные научные исследования. 2. Растениеводство - улучшение системы поставки семян, а также увеличение экспорта, т.к. в настоящее время импорт больше экспорта в пять раз; - использование кластеризации в отраслях сельского хозяйства. В частности - кластеризация хлопка и сахарной свеклы, были активными темами во время обсуждения на конференции; - устранение диспаритета цен в свеклосахарном кластере; - увеличение производства и использования органических удобрений; - повышение урожайности возделываемых культур, путем улучшения семенного материала, селекции и улучшенных практик агротехники; - проведение лесовосстановительных работ; - сохранение генофонда яблонь. Для достижения данных целей, требуется помощь государства фермерам, малому и среднему бизнесу. Также ожидается поддержка и вклад международных инвесторов и доноров. Для достижения некоторых целей требуется внедрение сертификации. Проблема страны в отсутствии государстенной сертификации. 3. Образование - на данный момент в КНАУ открыты новые направления, такие как «Садоводство», «Рыболовство и Аквакультуры», «Ресурсоэффктивная логистика производства» и «Управление пастбищами»; - требуется построить лаборатории для проведения исследований вирусов, инфекций, генетики, качества продукции и много другого; - постоянное повышение квалификации преподавателей, ветеринаров, а также самих фермеров, производителей. Один из докладчиков предложил начать обучать население по продовольственной безопасности с раннего возраста (возможно с детского сада); - организовывать разные мероприятия на актуальные темы, чтобы студенты, преподаватели, производители и все заинтересованные стороны могли обмениваться результатами и информацией. Также помочь студентам и ученым в участиях в международных симпозиумах и конференциях для повышения квалификации. 4. Роль человека во время стрессовых ситуаций. Основными стрессовыми ситуациями в стране за последние годы стали пандемия, смена власти и несколько революций, пограничные проблемы, изменение климата и их последствия. Большинство из этих ситуаций повлекли за собой снижение экономический и физической возможности обеспечения продуктами питания. Что также повлекло снижение здоровья и иммунитета населения. Последствия изменения климата создали группу проблем в первую очередь фермерам. Также пандемия и карантин перекрыли пути фермерам к ветеринарам и другим специалистам для поддержания жизнеспособности животных и растений. Для решения и адаптации к подобным проблемам КНАУ открыли несколько направлений при поддержке международных инвесторов. Новое поколение специалистов поможет исследовать проблемы в сельском хозяйстве и постараются найти решения, а также поддержат фермеров и производителей на данном уровне. Leer menos

Диалог состоял из докладов исследований и обсуждения были короткими. Поэтому расхождений во взглядах не было.

The Independent Dialogue we organized was titled, “E-Dialogue on Organic Agriculture for Sustainable and Resilient Community Food Systems” (OA-FSSD 2021). This Food Systems Summit E-Dialogue aimed to provide a platform to: (i) Share and synthesize knowledge and experiences, science research outputs, indigenous and traditional knowledge systems, good practices, opportunities, and innovations by which organic agriculture contributes to the five UN Action Tracks (i.e. ensuring food security; shifting to sustainable consumption pattern; boosting nature-positive production; advancing equitable ... Leer máslivelihoods; and, building resilient communities); (ii) Identify strategies and pathways to mainstream organic agriculture’s significance towards building sustainable resilient community food systems; and, (iii) Promote innovative collaborative mechanisms to strengthen community food systems towards sustainability and resilience through organic agriculture. Among other agricultural systems, there is growing advocacy towards sustainable regenerative organic agriculture and food systems (Moyer, et al., 2020). Significant contributions to sustainable regenerative and resilient community food systems can be made possible through the four principles of organic agriculture namely, health, care, ecology and fairness. The International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) promotes Organic3.0 “to enable a widespread uptake of truly sustainable farming systems and markets based on organic principles and imbued with a culture of innovation, of progressive improvement towards best practice, of transparent integrity, of inclusive collaboration, of holistic systems, and of true value pricing” (IFOAM 2016). Points of convergence between Organic 3.0 and the UN FSSD Principles of Engagement can be identified as points of complementation, respect and commitment to contribute to the SDGs. We focused on community food systems since this is where each of us in our communities can be the starting point to make the changes towards contributing to the SDGs. Investments at the grassroots community level can directly benefit marginalized people. We believe in using participatory development approaches and synergism to support programs that will engage people towards self-management as well as sharing responsibilities and sharing the benefits. We covered all the five Action Tracks to provide our participants a holistic and systems perspective of food systems. As this event carries the name of the UN FSSD, we also conveyed the message that the challenges of food systems as a worldwide concern can start with transformations and changes locally, at the household and personal level.

Action Track 1. • Need strong promotion among children and adults on nutrition, food safety and effects on health. Provide nutritional information about organic products. Reduce food wastage. • Need to educate farmers and producers about underlying principles of organic agriculture beyond crop production. Need topics on entrepreneurship, marketing, organizational strengthening, as well as post-harvest technologies, packaging and processing of food and non-food organic products, organic standards and certification. Lack of competent trainers on relevant topics. • Farmers are still at the ... Leer másmercy of traders. • Much focus on Agri-tourism results to land not fully-utilized to scale-up organic crop or animal production. Organic crops are mainly for display and special food for paying guests. • Low technology adoption by farmers. Need conscious effort for results of Research and Development to reach farmers. Need for proper diagnosis of farmers problems and circumstances. • Lack of organic inputs like standard quality and enough volume of organic soil amendments and almost no local production of organic vegetable seeds. Some resort to imported inputs which are expensive. • Lack of certified slaughter-houses dedicated for use of smallholder organic animal raisers, cold chain facilities, refrigerated transport. Action Track 2. • Limited market and access to OA products which are more expensive than non-organic ones and not always available in the market • Inadequate institutional support system and incentives to producer groups that provide safe, nutritious and healthy food; • Limited appreciation of the consumers on safe, nutritious and healthy diets; to those who can appreciate, they cannot afford the higher price. They resort to buying cheaper non-organic products. • Need to enhance information dissemination via the social media educate the consumers about true cost accounting in organic production systems. • Need to lobby with the concerned government agencies for incentivizing the providers of healthy and safe food; • Strengthen collaboration with the different stakeholders to increase the public and consumer’s knowledge for informed decision-making when they buy organic products. Action Track 3. • Boosting nature-positive production is multidimensional. It cuts across ecological, education, policy, social and economic dimensions. Promote true cost accounting of ecological and societal benefits. • Despite the diverse ideas, participants agreed on a common goal of striking a balance between and among the five dimensions. • Promote the importance of soil health to food production, environmental conservation and addressing climate change. • Address threats to biodiversity and the environment due to habitat destruction, invasive species, pollution. • Commit to conduct youth education that integrate biodiversity in organic agriculture. • Open consultations among stakeholders • Need academe and private sector/industry linkages. Action Track 4. • Promote agricultural enterprise development with policy reform on labor wages and employment opportunities in agriculture. Need options to address seasonality of labor in agriculture. • Need adequate infrastructure support to address basic agricultural productivity constraints like farm mechanization, irrigation, post-harvest and processing facilities) and socio-cultural constraints to bring the community to act for change. • Need flexible and accessible financial instruments to wean farmers away from unscrupulous traders and money lenders. • New strategies to motivate the youth to agriculture. Action Track 5. • The Philippines ranks 3rd as the world’s most natural disaster-prone countries thus the strong need for disaster risk-reduction and mitigation (DRRM) strategies. • Increase participation of stakeholders including farmers in program planning, implementation and monitoring progress of DRRM programs. • Limited opportunities to earn supplemental income while waiting for crop harvests or during disastrous events. • Inadequate local government policies for organic agricultural systems, certification and participatory guarantee systems. • Minimal policy support for promotion and adoption of indigenous knowledge systems and practices. • limited knowledge and awareness on OA practices, related to climate change adaptation and mitigation.

Action Track 4. How to make agriculture profitable without sacrificing the principles of organic agriculture (care, health, ecology and fairness) Action Track 5. The combination of natural and man-induced (anthropogenic) disasters is a huge challenge for an archipelagic country like the Philippines. The expansion of GMO corn production by clearing vast upland sloping areas in typhoon-prone heavy-rainfall areas of Northern and Southern-most Philippines frequently result to massive floods due to swollen rivers rushing through several towns and provinces. The loss of lives and livelihoods is daunting. How do we appeal to the conscience of promoters of these “modern” technologies to be accountable? Leer menos

One are of divergence we as organizers encountered was one between advocacy and action. Some participants felt strongly that action oriented solutions, such as our “Food Corps,” were best suited to tackling the current food crisis. Others in attendance saw political advocacy as the most effective method of change. As organizers we attempted to structure the dialogue so that participants could hear from speakers with expertise in both advocacy and action, and then choose breakout sessions related to which topic they preferred.
