The focus of the FFAR sponsored dialogue held on June 17, 2021, titled “Transformative Collaboration in Agriculture” examined both the links between Action tracks 3, 4, and 5 and levers of change. The objective of this Dialogue was to hold space for a conversation bringing together farmers, ranchers, research organizations, industries and NGOs to discuss the transformative collaboration needed to develop coordinated, collaborative strategies that reduce GHG emissions in the agriculture sector, ultimately to net negative. Through a series of breakout discussions, the goal was to engage farm... Leer másers, ranchers and scientists in a candid conversation about what they feel a successful relationship can look like to accelerate adoption of climate-smart farming practices. Climate change is a threat to food security worldwide. While advances to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are happening in labs and fields around the globe, that work is fragmented, and the impacts continue to accelerate. Without an expansive, coordinated effort, we can’t connect knowledge and data from one part of the world that could benefit another. By creating an expansive, coordinated response, we can maximize knowledge, investment and scalability. That’s why FFAR, USFRA and WFO established AgMission, a partnership to mobilize farmers, ranchers, scientists, data providers, stakeholders and funders around the globe to develop, implement and accelerate climate-smart farming practices at scales previously unimagined. By working together, we can close the gaps in agriculture-climate research and data integration while accelerating the development and adoption of new and proven on-farm climate solutions. In pursuit of this goal, FFAR convened an Independent Dialogue on June 17, 2021 titled “Transformative Collaboration in Agriculture” to bring together farmers, ranchers, research organizations, industries and NGOs to discuss the transformative collaboration needed to develop coordinated, collaborative strategies that reduce GHG emissions in the agriculture sector, ultimately to net negative. The main objective of the event was to discuss and develop coordinated and collaborative strategies to reduce GHG emissions in the agriculture sector that will support a more equitable and sustainable food system. Through multiple small breakout group discussions, FFAR and partners focused on defining the research gaps, data and support needed to achieve transformative collaboration among farmers, ranchers, scientists, industries and NGOs to accelerate adoption of climate-smart farming practices.

Consequently, the Summit must urgently recognize the need and call for a supportive political will from national leaders open and transparent participation mechanisms for right-holders in all stages of policy making, implementation and monitoring of the food systems. Strong accountability and transparent mechanisms for all actors, from government bodies to the food industry should be in place in order to move away from the production model to a Production, Income and Nutrition Model

Transition to Sustainable Food Systems for Social, Ecological, Economic & Democratic Development  Food choices are often considered as personal choices. But choice is instead determined by many factors and can be conscious, conditioned or constrained. Even if one has high nutrition literacy, the lack of local availability or the inaccessibility, due to high price, of healthy foods may prevent an individual from adopting healthy dietary habits. Hence, a transition to Sustainable Food Systems should have at their centre the full realization of the human right to adequate food, where by ev... Leer másery individual and every community should be enabled to have adequate, accessible, nutritious, culturally adequate, healthy and environment-friendly food at all times. This requires putting right-holders at the centre, rather than the interests of the market. Leer menos

Policy Change to Unlock the Potential of a Resilient Small-Scale Agriculture Sector  There is a need for a policy with an emphasis on payments for ecosystem services instead of subsidies for synthetic inputs and hybrid seeds. Need to move away from Farmer Input Support Programme for commitment to sustainable subsidies that enhance local markets.  Integrated seed system laws endorsing local traditions and knowledge, rather than outlawing the use and sale of traditional varieties and breeds.  Climate change adaptation funds are to be used on agroecology principles rather than the “new... Leer más” green revolution which does not respond to the desired needs of the vulnerable farmers.  Inclusive land rights giving priority to local youth and traditional community ownership rather than legislations that enable corporate land grabbing.  Public procurements schemes create a market and demand for organically produced diverse diets rather than highly processed food.  The drastic increase in funding for research with a focus on agroecological transdisciplinary and systemic approaches rather than research focussing on single crops or inputs.

Participants in the civil society dialogues of organizations determined that there are the following pressing problems regarding the above topics. - Due to the lack of implementation of the legislation on the food system, food security is not properly ensured. - Many projects and programs are being implemented to develop food value addition chains along the lines of foreign states and donor organizations, but due to their poor connection, the desired results are not achieved. - Family farms, engaged in farming, have the status of unofficial employment and their registration and information abo... Leer másut them are not fully collected and therefore they remain outside the state support. - Control over the quality and safety of schools and kindergartens feeding is not open and transparent. - The level of development of the production of healthy food and food for children is low. - It should be noted that sweets are excessively used in children's sanatoriums. - The quality and safety of food products is lost at the stage of transportation and storage. The safety of food packaging is weak and the labels of imported food products are in foreign languages without translation. - The control of professional control organizations over the use of pesticides in agriculture is weak. - The level of security and maintenance of independent laboratories, which analyze and confirm the quality and safety of food products, is low. - The incomes of herdsmen and farmers as primary producers are lower than those of intermediate traders. As products pass through intermediate traders, the price of food products increases, their quality and safety is lost, and income inequality is formed. - The knowledge of farmers about pesticide residues in food products and the knowledge of herdsmen about drug residues is weak. - The expansion of the mining industry has an increasingly negative impact on livestock breeding and agricultural production. They have proposed following recommendations and actions to tackle the existing issues:  Comprehensive updating of legislation related to the food system and the formation of an institution and a mechanism for its effective implementation; Ensure the action of the Food Security Council in the form of a unified platform and increase the sustainability and efficiency of its activities;  Formation of a mechanism for the constant involvement of civil society organizations in the process of working out policy for the development of the food systems and making decisions;  Increasing the provision of independent and licensed laboratories and strengthening their capacity to improve the assurance of control over the quality and safety of food products;  Creation of a new warehouses for storing vegetables and expanding its capacity;  Formation and development of a system of delivery to the market and effective sale of products of herdsmen and farmers through Agriculture exchanges;  Improving food service standards for school and kindergarten children and strengthening implementation control;  -Ensuring real financial and investment support to entrepreneurs of organic agriculture and food production;  Supporting private sector initiatives for the creation and development of processing enterprises for milk and dairy products;  Supporting private sector initiatives for the creation and development of specialized enterprises for the production of diets and food for children;  Produce at home the main inputs, which are used in the production of the basic assortment of food products and packaging items to reduce import dependence;  Adobtion of the application of mobile phones, which translates labels of imported food products in foreign languages into Mongolian;  Create a special television channel to disseminate information on food security and food production and consumption to consumers and provide science-based information and training through it;  Increasing the role and responsibility of parents and ensuring cooperation between preschool education organizations, secondary schools and families to instill healthy nutrition habits in children from an early age. Advantages of the Mongolian food system - Because of underdeveloped heavy industry, Mongolia has a broad opportunity of producing, consuming, and exporting organic, traditional, and eco food. Therefore, it is possible to produce innovative products by empowering the herders. - Since herders also connected to the urban centers, there are a wide range of opportunities to deliver their produces to the market, and the products can be marketed using smartphones - Mongolian production industry can be clustered. There are broad opportunities to develop non-mining productions. Leer menos

The key challenges faced in ensuring the healthy and nutritious food for all in Mongolia are described by the participants as follows: • “The law of Mongolia on Procurement of goods works, and services with state and local funds” requires to procure from “business entities,” restricting herders and producer’s participation in the school or kindergarten food tenders. • Food safety is the most challenging matter amongst the food system issues. If the food safety matter is not resolved, soon it will become a national and social issue. • Because the food production volumes of the h... Leer másousehold farms are not recorded, import quotes on vegetables are estimated higher. • Overconsumption of sweets and sugary products within children. Lack of environment for producing healthy meals and food for children. A comprehensive baby food production system has not been established. No workshops and factories that produce children’s food and baby formula. • It is likely to affect the genetic fund of Mongolia. Specifically: the number of young cancer patients is increasing. • Food safety is specifically disturbed in transportation and storage phases in the value chain of food production. Primarily, the safety of the food packaging. • Stores merchandise various types of colored and poisonous candies and foods at children’s eye level. • Lack of knowledge amongst the farmers on pesticides and herders on injections and drug residues. • The income level of the primary manufacturers or the farmers and herders is particularly inequitable to revenues of the speculators /changes/ and retailers. There is a large gap between the income levels of the stakeholders. • The “Organic product” labels are not monitored and do not guarantee product origin. • Imported products sold with foreign language labels, without translation. • Lack of consumer knowledge on healthy and nutritious food. • Consumer knowledge is deficient in reading and referring to the food label. Following actions are proposed to tackle the challenges: In the coming 10 years: • Enable herder’s and producer’s participation in the tenders under the provisions of “The law of Mongolia on Procurement of goods, works, and services with state and local funds.” • Establish an accredited and independent third-party laboratory /to monitor the quality and safety of the imported products/ • Increase the capacities of the vegetable warehouses and build new warehouses • Establish factories that produce primary food ingredients, ceasing their import. This includes the establishment of national food packaging factories. • Promote the use of wooden, cast iron, paper, and cotton utensils for cooking, support producers with policies, and increase the employment rate. • Establish food security management and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) systems in food factories. Introduce ISO framework in the food industry • Gradually replace carbonated drinks, such as Coca-Cola, chips, and food products with high sugar content. In the next 3 years and further: • Enforce the implementation of the “Law on food safety,” Activate “Food safety council” operation • Enable opportunities for rural farmers and herders to sell products • Introduce local best practices in the value chain • Implement a “healthy raw material” on products manufactured in Mongolia. Require product labels to contain information on the origin • Develop a mobile application to read labels printed in foreign languages • Establish a new TV channel that promotes information and knowledge on healthy food to the public • Organize training and campaigns to educate the public on healthy an • Depending on the damage caused in food safety, impose different sets of penalties on business entities and individuals. • Provide government support in establishing milk and dairy product processing factories in the rural area • Establish an integrated central platform in charge of food safety that resolves accessibility, safety, and waste matters.

Thematic area II: Advance Equitable Livelihoods and Value Distribution Following challenges were mentioned during the discussion: - While herder women work in harsh conditions, their access to social services is limited, e.g. pregnant women are not provided with support, and elders are not covered with a pension. - Although the vegetable demand can be 100% supplied domestically, storage conditions and market regulations are unsatisfactory - Due to competition of the imported vegetable, prices of the domestic producers are reduced, further reducing farmer’s income. - In vegetable production, ... Leer máschemical substances (pesticides) are used without control and limitations. There is no equipment to control the use of chemical substances. - Investment is another challenge faced by the vegetable production sector. - Vegetable seeds are a challenge. The genetic roots of seeds are being lost. Irrigation systems and greenhouses are provided by donations, but those are disorganized, inefficient, and some of the spare parts are unavailable in the local market. - Household productions are implemented well at the project level; however, due to lack of policy support, the producers face obstacles in further development. Some actions proposed: - Government support is mandatory for the producers of healthy food products. It is essential to provide policy support by establishing an agricultural exchange for trading produces and product certification laboratories and government procurement policy support by the independent purchase of domestic products for the school lunch program. - Reduce and control the import volume of the locally produced products. - Mandatory to improve product quality by introducing a raw material certification classification system that supports competition. - There is demand for continuous capacity building of herders and farmers, the producers of primary agricultural products. - Establish an independent laboratory that conducts pesticide residue analyses - Establish an integrated exchange market of the agricultural products in the bag, soum, and aimag centers. - Reduce GMO production In the 3 years: - Educate teens on basic concepts of food, e.g. basic principles of producing healthy food - To enforce policy change, it is necessary to change the attitude of this group of society, which requires government focus - Support agricultural product sales at market rate and healthy food production, - Establish primary agricultural product market in UB - Establish integrated labor tariff of the labor market - Necessary to establish a government support scheme for youth involved in the primary agricultural productions, such as various social services benefits and scholarships - Concerning the youth involvement: recommended to conduct a survey amongst the youth regarding their expectations on animal husbandry, agriculture, and food production and potentials of contribution. - Innovation and production of the agricultural products that are attractive to youth are insufficient, and policy support is required in the agricultural sector to support youth employment. Partnerships and roles of stakeholders: - Government to conduct Food safety assessment - Establish a mechanism that regulates food-related matters - Sell food products at fair market price - Provide various types of support to civil organizations, for example, discounted rent, etc. - The vegetable farmers are most vulnerable period in the autumn season, and the Government must support in terms of labor supply and market to sell their products - Herder, farmers, and consumers are the supporters of the goal and beneficiaries of the changes in the system - Opponents are large chains, political figures engaged in agricultural production, and large importers.

Thematic area III: Boost nature-positive production and building resilience to vulnerabilities, shocks, and stress Some challenges and actions proposed: - The most adversely affecting factor to the consumption of the traditional domestic products /strategical food: meat and dairy products/ are the business operations of the mining sector. For example, the mining operations in the gobi region are besides extracting, with floating, concentrating, and transportation operations of the raw materials on the dirt road adversely affecting the wellbeing of several aimags and sums and ways of consuming ... Leer másstrategically significant traditional food. This circumstance is principally due to land allocation overlapped with the pasture land. -Lack of knowledge on coping the climate change induced by human factors. -Lack of training and financing for lifelong learning, especially for women herders -No policy support on supplying the market with food and preparing safe food -Organic food production is underdeveloped. Since food additives are gaining popularity, there is a broad opportunity to develop organic food production at the sum level. -Slaughterhouses produce a considerable amount of meat in the winter season, and a large number of intestines are wasted. These can be processed to produce semi-finished products. But, due to the restrictions to have previous market experience, youth face financial difficulties. -Although lots of plastic waste are produced, there are no recycling facilities in the rural area. Thus, it is possible to establish small-scale workshops to recycle plastics. Possible to disseminate waste management information to the high school students -Ensure CSO involvement in the food chain, ensure transparency of information, and organize face-to-face meetings by the MOFALI and other government entities. Change present negligent practice, improve customs control on food shelf-life and involve CSO in control and monitoring activities. There must be a balance and boundary between agriculture, animal husbandry, and mining. Cattle ratio has been disturbed as well /goat headcount, which should be roughly 15% of the cattle, is now takes almost 70%/, which adversely impacts the meat safety and pastureland overgrazing; further, leading to desertification. -Improve cooperation amongst the ministries, state organizations, CSOs, and citizens -Empower herder, enable equitable allocation of benefits, and develop a long-term policy -Establish a food system that reflects human rights and public interest -Take measures against the use of chemicals in the mining and food processing sector -Make Mongolian pasture land an eco-friendly zone -Develop a veterinary service system and control the use of the antibiotic in the cattle What actions could be done in the three years? -Reduce the speculations in the food system, protect the market, and provide the consumer with safe food -Establish an independent laboratory and certification system -Protect food market and reduce import -Provide financial support in the organic food production -Improve food policy and food system based on the people’s participation and CSO -Organize educational campaigns and disseminate information to the herders and population concerning food safety and health -Establish waste recycling workshops in the rural area How can stakeholders work together? -The government of Mongolia shall establish a food supply chain and a system that focuses on human rights and public interests and improve cooperation between CSO and public -Improve production operations, train the public on the production of eco-food, and organize campaigns -Improve monitoring of chemical substances used in the mining and food processing industry Leer menos

In all the three thematic discussions there was not really areas of divergence. Participants were aligning their views and concerns in relation to the key challenges, triggers, suggested solution and recommendations for the way forward.
