La sostenibilidad de la pesca y de la acuicultura La sostenibilidad de la pesca y de la acuicultura es un objetivo en el que el sector pesquero español lleva décadas trabajando, abordando el problema de la sobrecapacidad, ajustando el esfuerzo de pesca, regulando la actividad, y mejorando el control de las actividades pesqueras. Es un sector con un elevado grado de apertura internacional, y se identifica la necesidad de evitar la competencia desleal en los mercados de los productos obtenidos sin respetar los mínimos estándares en materia de conservación así como de los estándares sociol... Lire la suiteaborales. Para ello, se han formulado las siguientes propuestas: a) Es necesario mejorar la gobernanza global de la pesca, fortaleciendo las instituciones internacionales de gestión de los recursos pesqueros para eliminar la pesca ilegal, no declarada y no reglamentada. b) Es necesario asegurar que todas las flotas pesqueras cumplen los estándares mínimos de requisitos sociolaborales de los trabajadores, y que se cumplen las condiciones de seguridad y bienestar a bordo. Los productos que acceden a los mercados europeos deberían cumplir estos requisitos para que no exista competencia desleal con las producciones europeas. c) Se debe favorecer la implantación de etiquetados que informen al consumidor acerca del cumplimiento de las condiciones de pesca responsable y de respeto a las condiciones de trabajo. Se ha puesto el ejemplo del etiquetado “Atún de pesca responsable” de la flota atunera española. Lire moins

Acceso a los mercados Es necesario mejorar el acceso de los productores a los mercados, en particular de los pequeños productores. Para ello, se deben fomentar los mercados de proximidad, que permiten acercar las producciones a los consumidores y que éstos puedan capturar una mayor proporción del valor del producto. También es preciso reconocer el papel que el comercio internacional tiene para los sistemas alimentarios. Así mismo, los mercados internacionales debe ser accesibles a los pequeños productores, con reglas del comercio acordadas en la Organización Mundial del Comercio. Los me... Lire la suitercados de proximidad y los mercados internacionales no son excluyentes, son complementarios, y ambos son fundamentales para asegurar la sostenibilidad y la resiliencia de los sistemas alimentarios. Es necesario que las reglas del comercio internacional incorporen requisitos de carácter ambiental que limiten el comercio de productos que no respeten unos mínimos estándares ambientales, ejerciendo con ello una competencia desleal sobre las producciones locales.

Potenciar el papel de los consumidores Con su capacidad para elegir, los consumidores juegan un importante papel en la orientación de la producción hacia métodos más sostenibles y resilientes. Es preciso eliminar los frenos que están evitando que los consumidores puedan tener mayor protagonismo en esta transformación. La mayor parte de los consumidores elegirían productos más sostenibles vinculados a certificaciones medioambientales o de calidad, incluso si eso exigiera un mayor esfuerzo económico, pero se necesita más información, con mensajes claros, objetivos, veraces y transpare...

El papel de la reorientación de los incentivos públicos La reorientación de los incentivos públicos puede hacer que éstos se conviertan en un importante motor para lograr sistemas alimentarios sostenibles. En España se está procediendo a esta reorientación con dos instrumentos fundamentales: La Política Agraria Común y los Fondos del Mecanismo de Recuperación y Resiliencia. Las ayudas de la PAC hace ya años que incentivan la producción sostenible. En el nuevo período de programación que ahora se está preparando, se cambia el enfoque para poner el punto de mira en la consecució...

Las ayudas directas a la renta se destinarán a los agricultores que cumplan con las normas de conservación del medio ambiente y de bienestar animal a través de la denominada condicionalidad reforzada, y se diseñan nuevos incentivos, los ecoesquemas, para añadir un incentivo adicional a aquellos agricultores y ganaderos que asuman un mayor compromiso ambiental. En conjunto, al menos un 40% del presupuesto de la PAC se destinará a acciones que mejoren la sostenibilidad de las producciones. Los fondos del Mecanismo de Recuperación y Resiliencia se destinarán en un elevado porcentaje a promover acciones que fomenten la sostenibilidad: ahorro de agua, energías limpias, economía circular, reutilización de residuos, agricultura de precisión y mejora de la bioseguridad. Es necesario además evitar los incentivos que promuevan prácticas negativas para el medio ambiente, y fomentar una fiscalidad más favorable para las prácticas positivas para el medio ambiente.

Una revisión de la situación de los sistemas alimentarios en España, con especial atención al papel de la innovación y el progreso técnico, así como de la reorientación de los incentivos públicos hacia la sostenibilidad de los sistemas.

La sostenibilidad de los sistemas alimentarios debe ser plena para poder ser posible: ambiental, social y económica. Es fundamental no descuidar ninguna de estas tres facetas para no dejar a nadie atrás. Al tiempo que se transita hacia la plena sostenibilidad de los sistemas alimentarios, se constata que se necesitará alimentar a una población creciente, y para ello la producción deberá crecer en 2050 entre un 60 y un 70%. Se constata también que, con las actuales tecnologías, muchas de las soluciones hacia producciones sostenibles implican una bajada de la productividad. Por lo tanto,... Lire la suite se estima que sólo a través del progreso técnico y la innovación será posible avanzar simultáneamente en las tres facetas de la sostenibilidad. Para ello, será precisa una mayor coordinación entre los diferentes actores, públicos y privados, en el campo de la innovación; se necesitará incrementar sensiblemente las inversiones en este campo, y será preciso poner en marcha mecanismos que aseguren que las soluciones innovadoras son accesibles a todos los actores de la cadena, y que todos se benefician de ellas, incluidos los pequeños agricultores y la agricultura familiar.

Las repercusiones de la transformación de los sistemas alimentarios. Es necesario adoptar un Compromiso firme para hacer que los Sistemas Alimentarios sean plenamente sostenibles en su triple vertiente: ambiental, social y económica. Los avances hacia la plena sostenibilidad tendrán en cuenta en todo momento esta triple faceta, ya que los sistemas no podrán ser plenamente sostenibles si alguna de ellas no es tenida en cuenta apropiadamente. Esto implica que los avances hacia métodos de producción, de transporte, distribución, transformación, consumo y gestión de residuos con menor imp...

Prioridades para lograr la plena sostenibilidad ambiental Los Sistemas Alimentarios deben seguir reduciendo su impacto ambiental en diferentes áreas: a) Lucha contra el cambio climático, en la doble vertiente de mitigación y adaptación. España es un país muy afectado por las consecuencias negativas del cambio climático, y el sector agroalimentario debe reducir sus emisiones y actuar como captador de carbono. Igualmente debe reforzar los instrumentos de adaptación al cambio climático. En el ámbito de la mitigación se propone el fomento de acciones tendentes a reducir las emisiones y ... Lire la suitea aumentar la captura de carbono en los suelos, tales como: • Descarbonizar el transporte de alimentos, ya que es el responsable del 9,6% de las emisiones totales en nuestro país. • Fomento de la ganadería extensiva y la conservación de los pastizales. • Fomento de prácticas agrarias que favorezcan el mantenimiento de la cobertura vegetal, y la reincorporación al suelo de los restos orgánicos de las labores agrarias. • Mejorar la eficiencia de la producción para reducir el uso de insumos y de energía. Los cultivos intensivos como los invernaderos que utilizan luz solar como fuente de energía son un buen ejemplo de eficiencia productiva siendo además sumidero de carbono. • Mejorar la gestión de residuos de las explotaciones ganaderas, reduciendo las pérdidas de metano y de amoníaco y reduciendo indirectamente el uso de fertilizantes de síntesis. • Evitar la deforestación. No se identifica como un problema en el territorio nacional, donde la superficie forestal de la actualidad ha aumentado respecto a la existente a principios del siglo XX, sino de forma indirecta en los países de origen de las importaciones agrarias. En el ámbito de la adaptación se propone: • Investigación y transferencia de conocimiento, que asegure un correcto asesoramiento al sector agrario de las mejores prácticas culturales, variedades vegetales y cultivos adaptados, en el actual escenario de cambio. • Conservación y fomento de razas autóctonas de ganado y de variedades vegetales locales. Mejora, creación y mantenimiento de bancos de germoplasma. • Fomento y apoyo a las herramientas financieras de gestión de los riesgos meteorológicos, especialmente de los sistemas de seguros agrarios. b) Mejorar la gestión del agua, reduciendo su consumo, aumentando la eficiencia de su utilización, y evitando la contaminación de los acuíferos. Es preciso reconocer que la producción de alimentos para una población creciente requerirá seguir utilizando una elevada proporción del agua disponible a este fin, pero existe margen para aumentar la producción sin ejercer más presión sobre el recurso. Para ello será necesario: • Adoptar planes de gestión de las cuencas hidrográficas que permitan evitar la sobreexplotación, • Adoptar medidas de protección de las franjas de terrenos que ejercen de tampón de las cuencas fluviales, • Reducir el consumo de agua en los regadíos mediante su modernización para evitar las pérdidas de agua y mejorar la eficiencia en el consumo de agua y la energía a través de la generalización de las técnicas de riego localizado y la adopción de nuevas tecnologías de precisión y digitales en su aplicación. • Evitar la contaminación de los acuíferos a través de los lixiviados de la producción agraria. • Fomentar la obtención y el uso de variedades capaces de crecer con menos agua y que ofrezcan una mejor adaptación al cambio climático. • Mejorar la formación de los regantes. c) Reducir las pérdidas de nutrientes en la agricultura, reduciendo el uso de fertilizantes de síntesis y mejorando la gestión de los fertilizantes orgánicos. Para ello será preciso: • Fomentar la adopción de técnicas de agricultura de precisión • Fomentar la economía circular en las explotaciones agrícolas y ganaderas • Mejorar la gestión de estiércoles y purines, reduciendo las emisiones de amoníaco y metano. d) Reducir el empleo de pesticidas, en particular de los pesticidas más peligrosos para el medio, y para ello, • Fomentar la gestión integrada de plagas. • Fomentar la agricultura de precisión • Fomentar la investigación y en desarrollo de semillas resistentes a las plagas.

Implementation guidelines for healthy and sustainable diet policy

The following challenges were identified: • Lack of public awareness to consume a safe, healthy and less –ultra-processed diet, and the connection to sustainability. • The industry still has place for improvement regarding the development of healthier foods, and sustainable food reformulation and packaging. • Data regarding public exposure, especially in susceptible populations, to foodstuff and dietary patterns is incomplete and biomonitoring data is limited. Government official controls should rely on data to better adjust enforcement measures to the level of risk. • There are limi... Lire la suiteted government resources available to enhance food and nutritional data collections and research regarding epidemiology and intervention studies, including with the academia at the local population levels, in order to establish evidence-based nutrition policy. Currently, most of the available data is based on studies carried out by commercial stakeholders. • The ultra-processed foods are more attractive to the general population, in comparison to fresh foods, for various reasons including lack of nutritional education and lack of economic incentives. • Foods for people with special nutritional needs (such as allergies, non-communicable diseases) is expensive and not always accessible. • Heterogenic populations are exposed to different advertisements for unhealthy foods, including foreign, digital, and specifically targeted messages. Low SES populations are more exposed to the harmful advertisements. • Incorporation of nutrition guidelines through the life cycle faces a few challenges, according to age groups such as the first 1000 days of life, teenagers and the elderly each having their own nutritional needs and challenges. Immigrants, ethnicity-affiliation, religious group and populations in transition, may be affected by malnutrition and therefore are more vulnerable. • Currently, there is no significant nutrition education in the school curricula. There is a need for regulations voluntary nutrition education does not work. • Integrating nutritional education and better health literacy as an integral part of the education system in Israel, focusing on the young ages and various socio-economic strata. • Regulation is non-harmonized, and is addressed by several regulators, each with different requirements. Laboratory testing methods are not always available or optimal in terms of costs and response time. • There is not always an economic justification for developing analytical methods and government laboratories lack the necessary resources to enable them to serve as reference laboratories. • The geographic location of Israel makes it a wild-animals migration hub and therefore more susceptible to zoonotic diseases. • Education regarding the use of packaging and public awareness of sustainability and recycling of packages and single-use-utensils is insufficient. • Healthy sustainable food systems in institutions, companies and local authorities are necessary. There is a need for professional nutritional experts as leaders and for training the workers in the field. • Harmonizing and keeping the food chain safe, healthy, and suitable to the needs of the clients and consumers, in light of quality control. • There is a need to minimize food waste and use of disposable packaging and utensils, through education, and training for sustainable food purchase. • Optimization of development of alternative protein sources and their production, so as to imitate the conventional products and to make them available and accessible to the general public without compromising health and sustainable aspects. • The Government has limited resources to keep up with the rapid development of the food tech taking into consideration the lack of international guidelines and standards. • Local authorities are varied by the level of awareness, budgets and availability of professional experts in nutrition and strategy to implement healthy nutrition in all policies, which result in poor implementation of healthy nutrition strategy. • There are no dedicated defined units responsible for public health within the local municipalities.

• There is inherent tension between the industry's desire to adopt international regulation (EU, US) "as-is" and the responsibility of the regulator to adjust the regulation to the unique circumstances of the country. • There is a contradiction between the need for food safety and longer shelf life and attractive coloring and taste and the need for cleaner labelling. • There is a discrepancy between the right of the consumer to transparency and the limitation of the labelling. • Lack of unanimously accepted definition of ultra-processed food and harmful foods. • The regulator is obli... Lire la suiteged to prevent additional exposure to unhealthy foods by limiting the industry and the television programs and advertising that encourages unhealthy eating. This should be managed by regulation, whereas the industry prefers pledges/voluntary charters. • There is a need to add health score symbols on the packaging like carcinogenic etc. • There is a need to maintain and enhance the Israeli agriculture from the food security perspective and sustainability in light of the SDG's, and to favor local production over imported foods, despite of lower cost effectiveness. • Who takes the responsibility over the food health risk factors communication; Government, industry, the public? • There is abandonment of traditional eating and use of local crops due to globalization and modernization. • Sustainable packaging and recycling. There is no incentive for the industry to use sustainable packaging, nor to recycle, and excessive packaging is still common. • While several stakeholders proposed the implementation of stricter regulation and enforcement, others suggested adopting a looser strategy relying on the responsibility of the manufacturer/importer. Currently, official controls are partially relying on self-declarations but when analyzed the products might not meet the regulatory requirements. • Lack of food quality and subjective parameters in food tenders regarding nutritional quality, technology, taste and requirement for better equipment in institutional kitchen facilities. • There are disagreements on the need to replace protein of animal origin with plant-based protein. • Disagreement between governmental ministries regarding the need to establish a healthy “food basket” with a fixed price including subsidies. • There is a need to ensure that highly nutritious and appealing foods are served in "dining rooms" at schools lunch-program, these being foods that the children will enjoy eating, without compromising on food safety and quality. • There is a need for every school to have dining rooms in order to encourage good nutritional habits in early stages of life. • On the one hand Israel is currently leading the development of alternative protein technologies while on the other hand there are not enough resources to make the shift to large scale production. • Gap between policies and implementation: although there are basic Nutritional Policies for healthy eating in educational institutes, there is a gap between policy and implementation and a lack of human resources and awareness regarding the existing policies.

Urban food systems: 1. We discovered the need to address the challenges faced by the different sectors of population in the city, of varying socio-economic levels, and defined by diverse religious, ethnic and cultural characteristics. 2. There is a need to look beyond the city’s boundary, and include the peri-urban agricultural areas in the local food system. It may not be possible for the city to achieve food security on its own, but this should be a feasible goal at the regional level. Food security 1. The overarching challenge identified by this dialog was for the government to shoulder t... Lire la suitehe responsibility for planning, appropriating and regulating a coordinated national food security policy. 2. Food insecurity is an Israeli national security concern. 3. Climate change and water scarcity are projected to increase, potentially contributing to regional instability. 4. Fragmentation: different ministries and agencies, with different, often conflicting priorities and little coordination between them, regulate different aspects of the food system. 5. Solutions are aimed at long-term policies to increase workforce participation and earning power of poor populations, and there are minimal benefits or food aid. 6. The government does not appropriate any significant assistance for alleviating food insecurity nor does it take responsibility for the food insecure population. Communication and social media: • Complexity: The overall issue of sustainable food systems is complex, appears distant, has an image that it is mainly relevant to those who are privileged • Diversity: Challenges need to be articulated and focused on diversity among and within different population groups, and identifying those which do not correspond to healthier and more sustainable food consumption. • Cost and current lifestyle: Economic cost and the convenience of processed foods in a hurried and pressured lifestyle serve as major barriers to healthier and more sustainable food consumption, in particular among groups with low income. • Media: competition with other issues considered more urgent, and journalists that consider it as controversial and attempt to present “both sides.” • Competition and disinformation: Commercial marketing of food products confuses and obfuscates the issue of healthy and sustainable foods by misleading advertising or emphasizing micronutrients, thus diverting attention from non-nutritious or non-sustainable elements. Food waste and food loss: • Significant knowledge gaps - The lack of empirical data and continuous measurement make it difficult to manage the challenge nor to set a coherent policy • The Price Marking Order requires that any goods offered for sale must have their price clearly indicated. This requirement constitutes a significant barrier to the transition to dynamic pricing • Technological gaps might constitutes a significant barrier to the implementation of dynamic pricing in retail networks Food industry: 1. Finding the balance between local agriculture and local production versus import. National food security depends on food independency. 2. Food Waste - Reducing consumer and manufacturer waste 3. Lack of manpower in the food industry 4. The need of Strengthening small and medium-sized industry, strengthening community-oriented industry 5. Reducing the Environmental Footprint of Industry - Providing tools, infrastructure, and goals for the development of fossil fuel free industry, and circular economy Lire moins

Urban food systems: • The goal of rescuing food is an urban challenge that can both help feed the urban poor, prevent unnecessary dumping, and generate reciprocity among the diverse urban communities. • Urban planning and management must factor into their system the need for access to fresh and healthy food within neighborhoods. • Urban food growing, until now focused on educational and community goals, should undertake the challenge of effective production of greens and fruit-bearing trees in the city. This will require regulatory measures • To address these challenges and to achieve ... Lire la suitethese targets, cities must work together as a network with shared goals, to generate the push needed for regulatory change, which will require approval at the government level. Food security The Topic Outcomes included and urgent need to: 1) Define food security broadly, and consider it a national government priority, for social resilience and domestic and national security 2) Enhance governance, by creating an overarching, integrated, inter-ministerial policy review to develop a food systems master plan to ensure food security in its broad definition. 3) Define outcome measures and targets, assign responsibility for monitoring, formative and evaluative research 4) Develop a master plan for Israeli agriculture taking into consideration sustainability, climate change threats, economic planning 5) Expand economic policy to correct market failures and to accommodate agriculture and health outcomes, to achieve food availability and prices that will contribute to achieving targets for reducing the prevalence of food insecurity and improving the nation's diet and health and environment. Communication and social media:  Identifying socio-cultural and economic barriers and potential solutions for diverse groups within and across populations.  Reframing the issue as one that concerns all and not only privileged groups  Raising the issue in the media and creating engagement and discourse.  Addressing information gaps.  Addressing misinformation and disinformation from public and commercial sources. Food waste and food loss: • Lack of national food waste reduction goals and policies, and as a result lack of success indicators • The lack of governmental budget leaves the challenge of food rescue in the hands of local NGOs • Lack of consistent policy for organic waste management that leads to unreasonable allocation of resources (institutional / commercial versus domestic food waste) • Lack of synchronization between local government and central government Food industry: 1. Regulation: contradicting regulations of different authorities or ministries, contradicting requirements and rapid changes. 2.

The main findings that emerged from the plant food systems dialogues included challenges related to the supply of production factors (land, water and workers), use of pesticides and fertilizers, climate change, food security, R&D, knowledge transfer, adoption of technologies to raise productivity, marketing, policy and regulatory tools regarding the status of agriculture, waste management, the position regarding imports/local production. Detailed explanation of each category: 1. Supply of production factors: a) Water – high water prices and not enough subsidization for infrastructure dev... Lire la suiteelopment, a lack of information regarding the long-term implications of the use of recycled wastewater. b) Land – limited area available for agriculture, contraction of agricultural area resulting from an increase in other land uses, need to update legislation (e.g. there is no law to encourage agriculture in Israel, absence of definition of "agriculture" in planning and building law, outdated "settlement law"). c) Workers - restricted number of foreign workers along with the fact that most Israelis do not want to do manual work in agriculture creates a shortage of workers. Seasonality of production, administrative allocation and limitations on mobility of foreign workers among farmers result in a suboptimal allocation. 2. Farmers: lack of generational renewal 3. Research and Development, Knowledge transfer – Ensure public agricultural extension, Implementation of research results, ensure budget for agricultural R&D, collaboration with start-up companies. 4. Pesticides and fertilizers – lack of effective environmentally friendly pesticides. Part of fertilizers and pesticides are imported, leading to a possibility of shortage; negative environmental impacts resulting from the extensive use of pesticides and fertilizers due to the prevailing climatic conditions and ground structure in the country; frictions with the urban sector and nature. 5. Climate changes – lack of knowledge regarding climate change and its effect on different crops, development of climate change policy for agricultural sector and sufficient investment for climate change adaptation, supplying the necessary information to farmers about tools for adaption and crops that can be grown. 6. Uncertainty of farming in Israel: increased variability of yields resulting from climate change, frequent policy changes increase uncertainty for farmers. 7. Technologies – difficulties in improving and adopting new agricultural technologies. Technologies to reduce food waste. There is a need to improve soil fertility. In recent years, the productivity of the agricultural sector declined – it is necessary to understand the causes and increase productivity. 8. Food security – providing the economic, social and environmental conditions to generate food security and healthy nutrition for the local population. Ensuring that agriculture in Israel is profitable for farmers. Domestic agricultural production is stagnating in recent years. We need to be prepared for future scenarios in which domestic agriculture will need to increase its production substantially: population growth, change in nutrition habits, climate change and emergency situations. The challenge is to create the conditions that will enable the agricultural sector to supply the food necessary in the light of future scenarios. The growing Palestinian population should be accounted for as well. 9. Marketing – coping with aggressive marketing of ultra-processed food. There is a need to ensure profitability of food production in Israel. Steady supply of raw material to the food industry. 10. Policies – Ministries need to collaborate in order to establish a holistic and sustainable policy for the food system with clear long-term objectives. Disagreements about objectives and policy instruments (e.g. importance of agriculture, subsidies). There is a need for long-term policy objectives for the agricultural sector. Differences in requirements for imported and domestic agricultural products. 11. Agricultural waste management – food losses and waste, waste resulting from surplus production, developing an alternative for plastic, creating a standard for compost. 12. Conflicts between environment and agriculture, e.g. overlap of wildlife corridors and agricultural land. Need to find balance between nature and agriculture. Not enough incentives for farmers to use sustainable agriculture. 13. Barriers to the development of urban agriculture Lire moins

The first dialogue focused on the challenges that are to be address. The challenges are detailed in the "Main Findings" section.

1. Some participants attributed the lack of technological advances to the availability of foreign workers, while others stated that there are not enough foreign workers. 2. The importance of domestic supply for providing food security in the future in times of climate change and population growth, vs. the importance of imports (is it necessary to protect domestic agricultural production by custom duties to ensure present and future supply of fresh domestic products, or should import restrictions be abolished in order to ensure food supply in Israel and decrease food prices) 3.

TEMA PRINCIPAL :ANÁLISIS DE LA PERESPECTIVA LOCAL-GLOBAL Lo local y lo global son dos aspectos de la realidad actual inseparables. Las emergencias globales tienen un gran impacto sobre cada territorio, y cada vez más, hechos que acontecen en territorios pequeños y aparentemente inconexos pueden acarrear grandes impactos globales. Al hablar de los sistemas alimentarios, el efecto es el mismo, su conexión y relación es tan fuerte que cualquier impacto negativo a nivel global puede afectar mucho localmente, y viceversa. Y en el actual contexto de pandemia mundial, más que nunca, debemos ten... Lire la suiteer presente estas interrelaciones: la actual emergencia global está teniendo un gran impacto sobre la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional de la población en situación de mayor vulnerabilidad. Entre sus efectos, destacan: alteraciones y dificultades en el desarrollo del trabajo del sector primario y la producción de alimentos, causado por el confinamiento; restricciones por parte de algunos países a la exportación de alimentos básicos; pérdida de los mercados de exportación de otros países debido a una disminución de la demanda; dificultades y encarecimiento del transporte; dificultades en la movilidad de los trabajadores; empeoramiento de los hábitos de consumo de la población – por falta de acceso a alimentos nutritivos; o limitación del acceso a alimentos a las personas en situación de mayor vulnerabilidad. El problema actual y global de los sistemas agro-alimentarios es multidimensional, y sus múltiples factores están interrelacionados. Afrontarlo requiere por ello una acción coordinada y un enfoque integral, pero también, la integración de los territorios y el impacto que el comercio a escala mundial tiene en éstos. Es preciso entender que deben existir sistemas alimentarios sostenibles en todos los niveles - en lo global, en lo regional, en lo nacional y en lo local – reconociendo las relaciones entre la singularidad de los territorios con la globalidad y las interdependencias existentes entre las fuerzas globales y las particularidades locales. Asegurar la resiliencia de los sistemas agroalimentarios implica facilitar la disponibilidad de alimentos procedentes de fuentes locales, regionales e internacionales. Las políticas agrarias y los sistemas alimentarios deben impulsar la Agenda 2030 para lograr el desarrollo sostenible, y sus objetivos, en línea con los ODS, deben a su vez adaptarse al contexto en todos los niveles, de lo local a lo global.
