Discussion topic : Conducive policies - National agriculture and food policies will support sustainably produced regional and seasonal food and information on healthy and sustainable diets. Recommendation 1: increase awareness on principles of agroecology, sustainability, and nutrition Who: governments, producers, civil society How: the government should inform communities, the private sector, and the population more about agroecology e.g. through TV, education, including school meals.

Also, labelling could include aspects of "storytelling" to give a voice to the producers behind the products. Recommendation 2: there needs to be a shift to systemic vision in public policies Who: governments, civil society How: Public policies should adapt to the systemic character of food systems, moving away from sectoral organisation and towards coherent and systemic management.. Linked to the systemic vision, careers should be cross-cutting, including concepts such as “healthy living”. Member States are called upon to play a leading role in the transformation of food systems. Market access should be promoted by small farmers and indigenous peoples. Recommendation 3: developing and ensuring systems of accountability and standards in developing and adopting policy measures. Who: governments, with support from international organisations How: The measures required and implemented must be clarified at each level (national, regional, communal) and by each actor. The principle of subsidiarity (taking decisions as close as possible to the problems) is key in clarification of responsibilities of the actors at different political levels. There is a need to focus on effective decentralisation. This will allow policies to be implemented locally with much more effective implementation (framework for the implementation of the policy). Recommendation 4: Monitoring systems should be put in place to measure policy improvements. Who: international organizations, civil society, governments, academia How: Potential indicators include the proportion of food produced in the country compared to food consumed; child malnutrition rate; malnutrition rate; proportion of food produced and processed in the country; innovation rate; biodiversity rate; impact indicators (including footprint and thus sustainability of products). A global framework should be put in place as has been done for biodiversity and water to define indices and targets at regional level (South America) and for each country, with a monitoring system to be able to observe evolutions. The summit should encourage the role of academia, as it plays an important role in validating data and statistics. Scientists should be able to actively participate in decision-making. The concept of "science" should be broadened to include empirical, social, indigenous knowledge. Leer menos
