Japan National Food Systems Dialogue on the Measures for achievement of Decarbonization and Resilience with Innovation (MeaDRI) with Agricultural machinery manufacturers

Main findings

The main remarks of the participants are as follows. (1) With regard to zero emission of agricultural machinery, there are various technologies such as utilization of hydrogen, biofuel, and e-fuel as well as electrification. It is important to address the zero-emission issue by adopting these technologies in parallel, taking account of these characteristics. (2) Currently, there is a technique for fertilizing and controlling pests based on the growth conditions of crops obtained from yield monitoring combine and aerial photography of drones. By utilizing these technologies and spraying the req... Leer másuired amount where necessary and the amount of fertilizers and pesticides used can be reduced to the minimum necessary. These technologies should be further developed. (3) Technology should be developed for establishing energy system based on local food production and consumption utilizing unused resources. (4) Agricultural machinery manufacturers recognize that it takes time to confirm the positive effects of new technologies. Given this, it is important for farmers, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and manufacturers to collaborate together to speed up the verification tests of the technologies. (5) Organic fertilizers are inferior to chemical fertilizers in terms of effectiveness and, therefore, it is needed to spray them in large quantities compared to chemical fertilizers. In addition, organic fertilizers are sometimes not suitable for machine spraying because their hardness is soft. Therefore, it is necessary to improve both organic fertilizers and machines so that organic fertilizers can be sprayed by using machines. Leer menos

Japan National Food Systems Dialogue on the Measures for achievement of Decarbonization and Resilience with Innovation(MeaDRI)with the Norinchukin Bank (the national-level financial institution for agricultural, fishery and forestry cooperatives in Japan)

Main findings

The main remarks of the participants are as follows. (1) It is necessary to recognize that while agriculture, forestry and fisheries are essential industries that produce food, they also place a burden on the global environment. (2) One of the current challenges of investments and loans for the domestic agriculture, forestry and fisheries industry is that most of them are not necessarily for environmentally friendly industry and, therefore, these are not recognized as ESG investment. We recognize that it is the role of finance to facilitate the transition towards environmentally friendly indus... Leer mástries. (3) In some cases, the requirements for ESG investment and loans include obtaining external certification, clarifying the use of funds, and measuring the impact. Therefore, in order to increase ESG investment and loans for domestic agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, it is important to deal with the issues associated with the definition and certification of environment-friendly agriculture, forestry and fisheries. (4) There are two possible means of promoting a shift towards an environmentally friendly agriculture, forestry and fisheries: restricting loans through negative screening of non-environmentally friendly borrowers and providing incentives to environmentally friendly borrowers. However, neither of them is easy. (5) It is important to properly explain to consumers where and what kind of load is placed in the value chain. Regarding "safety and security," we need a concept that is easy for consumers to understand, such as an index of friendliness to the global environment. Leer menos

Japan National Food Systems Dialogue on the Measures for achievement of Decarbonization and Resilience with Innovation (MeaDRI) with farmers (Young and family-farmers)

Main findings

The main remarks of the participants are as follows. (1) Development of materials to replace chemical pesticides and development of pesticides with low toxicity should be promoted. (2) It is difficult for family-owned businesses to purchase the automatic mowing robot. Therefore, it is desirable that a mechanism such as an sharing system be put in place. (3) Pest control works should be mechanized because it requires manual labor and is a tough task for the elderly. (4) The technology of embedding fertilizer directly deep in the soil by using machine makes it possible to utilize the active ingr... Leer másedients that otherwise evaporate into the air as a cause of greenhouse gases. These machines should be subsidized. (5) Producers should be informed and educated while making clear which pesticides should be reduced as a priority. (6) It seems that by establishing regulations to reduce chemical pesticides, technological evolution will occur and people's way of thinking will change. (7) To significantly reduce chemical pesticides nationwide, we must change the awareness and knowledge of farmers who practice conventional cultivation. In this regard, if we introduce a system for farmers who work on pesticide-reduced cultivation with income insurance, it will help the progress toward to the chemical pesticide reduction. (8) It would be desirable to create organic farming standards unique to Japan and a new system of using materials which replace chemical pesticides. (9) New technologies such as the development of bovine breeding and feed for inhibiting generation of methane gas should be developed. (10) It is necessary for producers themselves to proactively disseminate information to foster consumers' understanding of additional costs for sustainable production. Leer menos

Main findings

The main remarks of the participants are as follows. (1) One of the reasons why organic livestock production does not increase in Japan is the difficulty in securing feed for the organic livestock production. (2) Consumption is the bottleneck to expanding organic area. Affordable price is the challenge to expanding consumption. It is difficult to increase consumption unless the price gap is bridged.

(4) Using smart farming for ... Leer máslocating cattle on a large pasture has enabled to identify cattle position immediately, resulting in considerable time savings, although it is quite expensive now. (5) It is important that the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology work together to provide education that will urge the children of the next generation to think about the current situation and future. (6) It is difficult in hilly and mountainous areas to use land with limited human resources and to improve efficiency. (7) It is effective to create a compost center as a base where cow dung, pig dung, chicken dung, etc., are mixed and to create a mechanism that allows livestock farmers to spray them in agricultural fields for value.

The responsibility of a student’s next meal should not be put on the shoulders of another student. - Food security should not be viewed as an individual issue, there is ripple effect that comes with a continues lack of nutritious food including mental health, physical health, university grades etc. - There are a number of initiatives on UCC campus helping students struggling with food, including food banks and now with covid, food vouchers, but when working on solutions we must ensure that not only are gaps plugged but that there is not a need for these food banks or initiatives in the first hand. - Food security needs a holistic food perspective with bottom-up and top-down action. Macro-economic policies need to be created at a university and national level to support the most vulnerable on campus. Leer menos

Bites of Transfoodmation – What will be the role of food in defining people’s health?

Enfoque geográfico: Sin fronteras

Area of divergence

Compared to the previous Bites of Transfoodmation workshops, during this Independent Dialogue, some stronger areas of divergence came out within and amongst the discussion groups. Particularly, participants highlighted some critical areas of divergence that involve difficult trade-offs for the following aspects: a) The question of how we could attribute the true value of food including people's perception and public subsidies. b) A tension in the definition of the terms: "healthy diets" and "personalized diets", how they should be determined and by whom. Participants had different understandin... Leer másgs on the definition of these two expressions with stricter interpretations implying new technologies and DNA editing on the one side, and much larger interpretations implying eating what makes you feel good on the other. c) The trade-off between tailored diets and its implication or interference with the personalized diets of others and the costs both in economic and environmental terms that such diets could have. d) Within the group, we felt a feeling of opposition between the social and health elements of food. Innovation and personalized diets were considered by some participants as a mere response to health necessities, somehow taking away the human and social part of nutrition, and therefore the celebration of food and its anchorage to cultural narratives and traditions. e) The risk of over-romanticize the "celebrative power" of food, as for participants food - in some some circumstances -can be a source of conflicts (when it is limited) and of mental stress with a particular focus on eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia. f) When talking about the social and health aspects of food, and the prospect of moving towards more personalized diets in the future, the topic of pills (i.e. vitamins, supplements, etc.) came up. Some of the participants highlighted that pills were not the solution nor were desirable, as food is strongly linked to culture and traditions. Other participants, however, stressed that this is fast becoming a reality for industries and companies are investing in it. g) Some participants suggested the idea to associate strict personalized diets (as the one adopted by professional athletes for example) with some sorts of rewards in the form of "cheat meals". However, others stressed out the idea that "cheat meals" can be perceived as a punishment and could therefore increase some negative consequences for mental and physical health (feelings of guilt). Furthermore, many pointed out that a "cheat meal" should not be necessary, as we should be eating food we like every day in a balanced way. No clear answers have been identified to address these challenges, however there has been consensus that we, as a group, have the power to overcome these dichotomies between the social and health elements of food, between personal choices and sense of collectivity and between personalized diets and environmentally and economically sustainable diets. We need to dismantle these dicothomies to build our Bites of Transfoodmation Manifesto as diversity does not imply confusion and fear, but rather the opposite. Leer menos

Bites of Transfoodmation – What will be the role of food in defining people’s health?

Enfoque geográfico: Sin fronteras

Discussion topic outcome

Food is an important part of people's lives, cultures and traditions and can be seen as a powerful unifying force helping to create a sense of belonging within communities. This is also the case in refugee camps and more generally amongst people on the move, for that context food plays a central role in bringing people together and maintaining traditions alive. It is often, however, the case that food aid and assistance in these contexts privileges food quantity over food quality, and that the food delivered does not take into account cultural sensitivities. This could be due to the fact that ... Leer másrefugee camps are seen as temporary solutions, although in reality these situations are increasingly spanning over a longer period of time. One solution could be to start projects which create urban food systems, through techniques such as vertical farming and hydroponics, within the contexts of refugee camps. In this way, migrants and refugees would have access to job opportunities as well as quality food, re-gaining agency and independence over their food choices as well as having the possibility to share their own knowledge and help to create a thriving social fabric. Food can, in fact, be a powerful linking factor between local communities and migrants, creating a new food culture bringing together different, multicultural communities and traditions. Food has both social and health elements and both are important; food can be seen as necessary for human nutrition but also as a celebration. In the context of migration, both elements should be taken into account to ensure that migrants and refugees have access to a healthy and nutritious diet, whilst at the same time being able to celebrate food traditions and to create new ones.

Bites of Transfoodmation – What will be the role of food in defining people’s health?

Enfoque geográfico: Sin fronteras

Discussion topic outcome

Food is closely related to health and in some cases it turns out to be the only cure. Very often this characteristic is not considered and food is taken for granted, undermining the fundamental role it plays for our health. This has led to an increase in the costs of health related to the consumption of cheap processed food, which is not good for human health. Knowledge and education are needed in all sectors to make food become a public and social good, thus giving back its true value. However, it has emerged that in the context of the current food systems it is still too complex to take a ho... Leer máslistic approach permitting this new vision of food. In addition, an important role is also played by the image attributed to food: It would be suitable to present a positive image, leading to a shared awareness and, above all, to both an individual and a collective responsibility. We should also try to see food as a nourishment of the mind and be able to make free personal choices based on awareness and knowledge, without getting overwhelmed by the confusion due to the huge offer of choices which characterizes the current world narratives.

Discussion topic outcome

We all know that food is crucial to perform at our best in certain activities, such as sports. As, in this case, the main objective is to get to the best possible result, the customization of the diet is at the basis. But what if all of us followed a personalized diet with the goal of living a healthy life, without nutrient deficiencies and the risk of running out of food? Surely it would work at the health level, but there are still questions that need to be looked into at the applicability level. In fact, we are not only talking about health but also about wellness, as a personalized diet wo... Leer másuld have to be at the same time healthy and appetizing. Following this reasoning, how would a family with different diets manage the time and would it be sustainable in terms of waste? Who should tell us what our specific needs are? How could governments help in promoting the consumption of healthy products? A possible way would be to implement specific subsides both for consumers and producers and build up specific healthcare institutions. Healthy food should become a matter of public interest in order to make it work economically and start to have an influence on the whole food system. Leer menos

Main findings

By pushing a bit further the margins of non-mainstreamed food systems, we noticed that what emerged quite strongly was a divisive tendency with a focus on what divides rather than what unifies us as a group. It is clear, that in order to embrace the unifying power of food, we need to spell out the granularity of the unifying message of potentially divisive concepts. From the discussion, it came out clearly that diversity, which is perceived as a positive element, is countered by confusion. How can we make a choice that is sustainable both in economic and environmental terms in such a diversifi... Leer másed context? This confusion leads to another potential opposition between personal responsibility and collectivity rights related to food habits in the future. This contrast can be linked to the dichotomy between the narratives (perceived as the truth) versus the trends (perceived as something of the moment). The example of the refugee camp in Jordan, revealed the power of traditions and the fear of losing identities. Traditions, and food traditions in particular, were perceived as nourishing a sense of belonging, as one of the only things that make you feel like a human being anchored in a societal environment. On the contrary, innovation and personalized diets were considered as a mere response to health necessities, somehow taking away the human and social part of nutrition, and therefore the pleasure and celebration of food. Within the group, we felt a feeling of opposition between the social and health elements of food. Potentially we can overcome it and have both. We need to dismantle these dichotomies to build our Manifesto as diversity does not imply confusion and fear, but rather the opposite. When exploited in a positive way, food has a unifying power that works as a vector enacting a virtuous cycle of who we are, what we do and our sense of belonging. This implies new traditions, a new concept of sustainability and affordability (in its broad definition) and social proximity. The day that we will be collectively able to bring diversity as a fundamental aspect of belonging will imply the creation of a new narrative in the shape of a clepsydra. Diversity will be the unifying factor and the narrative won’t imply a homogenization of diversity but will rather embrace it as a source of richness. This will imply the establishment of trust through an empowering culture. In this narrative, we want new traditions that allow the creation a new sense of belonging. How can we get there? By embedding the issue of personalized diets and food in its broad definition encompassing social and health dimensions. The outcome will be a narrative that embraces, learns, joins, celebrates diverse new food traditions for cohesive, healthy, sustainable habitats where we all live and thrive. Leer menos

Major focus

Our first three Bites of Transfoodmation workshops showed us the need for a change of narrative, with a greater emphasis on espousing diversity, whilst nurturing a culture of empowerment, reconsidering our habitats and reassessing the value of food through the lens of a true cost approach. We acknowledged that shifting the status of food from a commodity to a public good can help in contemplating its true cost and value and we recognized that a new perspective in the way to produce, process and distribute food, orientated towards achieving healthy and sustainable diets for all, will lead to pr... Leer másofound systemic changes. Existing inequalities both in terms of access to knowledge and income often result in affordability and accessibility issues. During this Independent Dialogue, zoomed in on the points of difference within our social fabric. We embraced three cases of what we could define as extreme habitats (refugee camps, the realities of oncology, and high performing sports) that allowed us to dive deeper into the topics of inequality and accessibility and therefore to have an inclusive conversation, truly embracing diversity. The discussion was focused around three main questions/discussion topics: a) How could food systems and health systems be brought together to reduce the social and economic cost of illness? Should health and food be conceived as public goods? If yes, how? b) How can we get to a point in which everyone has access to a diet tailored to his/her specific needs as some athletes currently do? c) In a context of increasing migration flows due to climate change and political instability, how can we ensure healthy and sustainable food systems that allow for nutritious food and a thriving social fabric?
