Bolivie (État plurinational de) - Étape 2 Diálogo Nacional de la Industria en los Sistemas Alimentarios de Bolivia Discussion topic outcome Vía de Acción Nº1: Garantizar el acceso a alimentos sanos y nutritivos para todos. • Los pequeños productores de alimentos venden sus productos a precios muy bajos. Existen productos con precios no cubren el esfuerzo que su producción requiere. A esto se suma el bajo conocimiento financiero de los agricultores. • Es necesaria la realización de un Censo, hacen falta datos actuales y precisos sobre las características de la población en las áreas rural y urbana. Y un Censo agropecuario. • Un elemento importante a resaltar es el incremento del servicio de “delivery” a causa de ...

Debido a la fumigación con compuestos químicos, se está provocando problemas en la salud de las personas. Se, debe hacer mayor difusión respecto de las bondades de los alimentos. Muchas veces, por falta de conocimiento, la población consume a alimentos que no son saludables. • Se requiere fortalecer a las instancias públicas que están a cargo del control de los productos. Si bien existe el Servicio Nacional de Sanidad Agropecuaria e Inocuidad Alimentaria (SENASAG) que hace el control de los alimentos que se expenden en el mercado nacional, no controla directamente los aditivos que estos contienen. Las empresas deberían incluir la composición nutricional, aditivos y conservantes en el etiquetado de los productos. • En cuanto a los productos agrícolas, no se hace control de los pesticidas que se utilizan en su producción. No existe una verificación previa del contenido de agro químicos en los productos, y no se enseña a la población el tipo de tratamiento que deben tener los alimentos crudos, en caso de haber sido expuesto a agroquímicos. • Se debe fortalecer al Instituto Boliviano de Normalización y Calidad (IBNORCA) y al Comité de Frutas y Verduras, para que generen índices para el control de calidad y de los valores nutricionales de los alimentos. También es necesario socializar la normativa existente para promover un mejor control de la calidad de los alimentos • El Estado debe establecer políticas para crear condiciones que faciliten el cumplimiento de las normas exigidas por las entidades que realizan el control de los alimentos, asimismo debe crear condiciones para facilitar su traslado a industrias procesadoras de manera que también los productos elaborados puedan cumplir las normas CODEX. • Es importante resaltar la importancia de los medios de comunicación en la sensibilización a la población, de modo que los productos sanos sean consumidos y valorados. Los medios de comunicación son fundamentales para informar e incentivar el consumo local y la producción de alimentos nutritivos en nuestro país.

Los sistemas alimentarios abarcan los recursos naturales, el medio ambiente, la economía, las preferencias de las personas, la cultura, los conocimientos científicos y tradicionales, incluidos los de los pueblos indígenas, las políticas, el comercio, la tecnología, el transporte y otros. Por lo tanto, mejorar los sistemas alimentarios permite avanzar hacia un mundo sin hambre, con mejor nutrición y salud, protección y resiliencia de los ecosistemas y la biodiversidad, y personas resilientes y empoderadas. El parágrafo II. del Artículo 6 de la Constitución Política del Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia señala que: “El Estado tienen la obligación de garantizar la seguridad alimentaria, a través de una alimentación sana, adecuada y suficiente para toda la población”, en ese sentido, se han promulgado diversas leyes con relación a los sistemas alimentarios para lograr su sostenibilidad. Bolivia cuenta con 2.5 millones de personas ligadas a las Unidades Productivas Agrícolas (CNA, 2013). En el país existen sistemas productivos de agricultura familiar y comunitaria (indígena originario campesino, comunidades interculturales y pueblos afrobolivianos), convencional y agroindustrial. Territorialmente, la mayoría de las unidades productivas se encuentra en la región interandina del país (con diversas condiciones de altura, suelo y acceso al agua). Los sistemas productivos cuentan con gran tradición y riqueza socio-cultural. En Bolivia el 76% de las semillas utilizadas son criollas o nativas. Debido a la homogeneización de los hábitos alimentarios en Bolivia, la alimentación tiende a bajar su calidad. En este diálogo se buscó analizar los problemas expuestos aprovechando las potencialidades país, buscando soluciones desde diferentes perspectivas, con miras a construir sistemas alimentarios sostenibles al año 2030.

It was briefly presented the document on visions and commitments for the UN Food Systems Summit, structured in four areas / objectives, co-developed and shared by the main stakeholders of the Italian agri-food system: 1) to reduce agri... Lire la suite-food losses in the steps from agricultural production up to distribution; 2) increase the recovery of agro-food surpluses in order to improve the distribution and access to food by all; 3) promote the prevention of food waste at home and outside the home; 4) promoting the adoption of a healthy and sustainable diet, such as MD, accessible to all, especially the poorest sections of the population. In the synthesis of the dialogue “Local Action, Global Connection”, the food transition was highlighted as an expression of a diversified, territorialized and responsible production and consumption system. It was pointed out the need that this transition takes place through: promotion of demand through a local vision of food sovereignty; landscape protection with agro-ecological production models; affirmation of the centrality of family farming; strengthening short supply chains and local markets; promotion of technological and social innovation to enhance local traditions; development of food education programs; enhancement of the role of networks, cities and public policies. In the summary on the dialogue “GOOD! The Good of the Mediterranean diet and Italian agrifood towards the Food System Summit ", the centrality of Italian agri-food enterprises in the transformation of food systems was highlighted. It was presented briefly the sharing path with them that gave life to the jointly document" United in Food " in which are identified 10 commitments of the Italian agri-food sector: i) sustainable production processes; ii) diets and healthy lifestyles, based on the principles of MD; iii) good corporate citizenship; iv) sustainable supply chains; v) corporate strategies and policies and profitability; vi) technological, organizational and social innovation; vii) evaluation mechanisms; viii) training and updating; ix) networks and alliances; x) alignment with international objectives. In the synthesis of the “Integrated Program of Action on Sustainable Food Systems and the Revitalization of the Mediterranean diet” by the CIHEAM-Bari, it was highlighted how its integrated approach was aimed at addressing the multiple interdependent challenges of today associated with the unsustainability of food systems through the revitalization of MD, as a lever to link consumption and production in sustainable way. The activities carried out over the past ten years on the sustainability of food systems and diets, using the DM as a case study, were briefly described. Taking into account the evolution of the concept of MD, from an example of a healthy diet to a sustainable diet model, it was highlighted the need to finalize the process of development of "Voluntary Guidelines for the Sustainability of MD", initiated in 2017 with FAO and the need of identification and development of indicators for assessing the different dimensions of the nutritional, environmental, economic, socio-cultural sustainability of the MD. As part of the development of the Flagships and the Community of Practice of the SFS-MED Platform, some initial priority actions were also pointed: collect and share data, lessons learned and best practices on SFS and MD; develop and implement methodologies for analyzing the sustainability of fisheries, agri-food products and Mediterranean diet patterns; develop and implement self-assessment models of corporate sustainability; enhance research, innovation, training and education on SFS and MD; enhance green economy, blue growth, circular economy and One-Health approaches.

This vulnerability needs to be faced through an integrated approach for a food systems transformation towards sustainability, in which Italy can make an important contribution within the Summit in tracing the direction of this transformation. The Italian approach to food is based on the primacy of quality over quantity and the link between agrifood production and the territory. The Italian ... Lire la suitefood system was highlighted in valorizing in the best way foods at the base of MD, as well as, respects the marine and mountain ecosystems, and favors the economic, environmental, social, cultural diversity and the diversification of marketing channels. It was pointed out that the transformation of food systems needs to take place by acting on both supply and demand with an integrated approach on the food environment to influence consumer choices through a process known as "soft power", i.e. education and positive examples of best practices and lessons learned. The Italian food culture, directly linked to MD, was highlighted as a fundamental resource of “soft power” to lead the transformation of the food system. However, the Italian food system is influenced by globalization and, therefore, it is necessary to redesign the transformation around territorial specificities through a convergence between social networks and the involvement of all stakeholders, in particular local ones. The transformation of the Italian food system also implies the promotion of healthier and more sustainable eating habits. The increased malnutrition among the Italian population has shown an imbalance in the supply of food, especially for the weaker segments of the population. Many scientific studies have highlighted the value of the MD in ensuring nutritious foods, and It is necessary to enhance the nutritional-health profile of these foods at the base of MD to prevent and combat chronic non-communicable diseases (eg obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, etc.). Furthermore, it was highlighted the need to increase the consumer awareness on the multiple sustainable benefits of MD, through more understandable food labels to facilitate informed food choices. It was pointed out also the need to promote foods rich in vegetable proteins (eg legumes), to support the sustainability of food production chains, in particular short supply chains, to guarantee food at fair prices, to encourage food transformation processes that through "mild technologies" preserve the nutritional value of food and extend its the shelf-life, to allow the enhancement of waste by reduce the use of plastics for packaging and promoting sustainable packaging. The food systems transformation and the ecological transition should be achieved jointly by addressing with an integrated approach their interconnected environmental, economic and social criticalities. The food policies supported by the Italian Ministry for Agriculture were highlighted to be linked to each other and to global policies (eg Agenda 2030, Farm to Fork Strategy). As part of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, it was pointed out that next investments should be aimed at enhancing the supply chains of MD products. The resources of marine systems and aquaculture can make an important contribution to the promotion of MD and be a pillar for building more sustainable food systems. In this context, the SFS-MED Platform, initiated by CIHEAM, FAO and UfMS and with its coordination desk at the CIHEAM-Bari, was identified as key to facilitate the development of guidelines for the sustainability of food products and MD patterns, and for the exchange of knowledge of best practices and lessons learned, becoming also for Italy an intelligent engine for investments, benchmarks and partnerships. Furthermore, MD as a "format" rich in culture and healthy and sustainable food products, was pointed could be promoted abroad as a virtuous model thus also enhancing the Made in Italy.

It was highlighted the complexity of the food systems environment, and how interconnected and interdependent challenges facing the transformation of food systems towards require to be addressed through a systemic integrated sustainable approach. It was pointed out that food systems transformation and ecological transition should be jointly achieved by taking into account environmental, economic and social issues in an integrated way. It ... Lire la suitewas highlighted that today all countries are becoming aware that the ways of food production and the foods we eat affect the health of people and the planet. The Mediterranean Diet (DM) was pointed out as an important strategic asset for Italy by linking together “food, culture and diets” within the context of the sustainable transformation of food systems by enhancing biodiversity and taking care of the ecosystems. It was pointed out that the Italian food system is influenced by globalization (abandonment of inland rural areas, obesity, etc.) and the increase in malnutrition among the Italian population has highlighted an imbalance in the supply of food, especially for the weaker sections of the population. Therefore, it was pointed out necessary the involvement of all stakeholders, particularly local ones, for a food system sustainable transformation around the DM model and territorial specificities. By considering the erosion of the MD as an intangible UNESCO Cultural Heritage and by considering that the data show that the adherence of the Italian population to the MD is very low, it was also highlighted the need of more institutional communication to promote the DM, not only as a healthy diet, but also as a sustainable diet, with multiple socio-cultural, environmental, economic, and health/nutrition benefits, including food waste reduction. The reduction of agri-food losses, the recovery of surpluses for a better availability of food, the prevention of waste at home and outside the home, the adoption of a healthy diet, sustainable and accessible to all, such as the MD represent a challenge for Italy and for the whole world, made particularly urgent by the pandemic crisis. It was highlighted the need to promote the best practices of the excellence of Italian agri-food production and fisheries by valorizing their high values in combining food cultures, technological and social innovation, efficiency, productivity and sustainability of the food chains, closed linked to territories, local producers, farmers and fishermen. Innovation, both technological and social, was pointed as a crucial key for the development of an effective green, blue and circular economy at the centre of a sustainable transformation of food systems. The important contribution of the marine resources and aquaculture was highlighted for building more sustainable food systems and revitalizing the MD. The enhancement of local rural and coastal communities was considered relevant with particular attention to the inclusion of youth and women. It was highlighted the need of promoting a consumer ethic that links individual choices to the well-being of the community and the food diversification leverage the synergies between biological, economic, social and cultural diversity. The need of a paradigm shift was highlighted in which food needs to be considered a right and not just a "commodity", and as it was pointed out a green transition cannot exist without a social equity. It was highlighted the activities and cooperation that CIHEAM Bari has developed in the last ten years on the sustainability of food systems and diets, using the MD as a case study to connect production and consumption in a sustainable way, going beyond the limit of the usual agricultural production approach. The “SFS-MED Platform”, a multistakeholder collaborative initiative on sustainable food systems in the Mediterranean, under co-development by CIHEAM, FAO and UfMS, inclusive of all interested actors, was pointed out as a strategic initiative for collaboration through its “SFS-MED flagship” and “SFS-MED Community of Practice”. It was highlighted the integrated approach of the CIHEAM-Bari’s action plan for coping with the multiple challenges for improving the sustainability of food systems, from production to consumption and viceversa, and revitalizing the MD as a sustainable resource as well as an integral part of the Italian Mediterranean cultural heritage. It was introduced the preparatory process for the organization of the 3rd World Mediterranean Diet Conference that CIHEAM-Bari is planning in early 2022, as a follow up to the 2nd World Conference held in 2019 in Palermo. It was pointed out in the conclusions that the main findings emerged from this dialogue were fully in line with the priorities of the Matera G20 Declaration of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Economic Development, held in Matera in June 2021, such as: food and nutrition security, respect human rights and gender equality, the promotion of sustainable food systems and the involvement of smallholders. At the end of this dialogue, it was considered by the participants to jointly organize a collaborative side event at the G20 meeting of the Ministers of Agriculture in Florence, in September 2021.

Solutions to climate changes and climate-related or other shock events are not unique or universal, therefore, actions should be designed aiming at solving a priority event that is likely to continue over the current decade. From the group discussions, some of the recommended solutions include: • Increasing the response capacity of health services to different diseases (especially those of rapid transmission), through the expansion of the health network (ie, a greater number of health centers) taking into account its proximity to rural communities; • Implementation of the land use plan as a tool for more appropriate land planning, thus reducing the negative effects associated with the negative exploitation of environmental resources; • Identification (mapping) of alternative production areas for people affected by any of the described shocks; • Community-level education on contingency planning and risk management aspects; • Promotion of information and communication technologies adaptable to the local reality, as a warning mechanism for adverse and extreme weather events; • Provision of incentives that promote commercial as well as family agro-processing activities. Processing is considered to be able to reduce the risk of loss of production (in quantity and quality) through reduced exposure of products to inappropriate environmental conditions. In the same vein, processing is also seen as an important activity for the integration and sustainability of other productive sectors (animal production and aquaculture) through, for example, the supply of necessary inputs (such as hay as a food supplement for livestock) ; • Construction of infrastructure (for example, dams, community warehouses and access roads) that facilitate the good performance and integration of different segments of the food systems in the face of the impacts of climate shocks; • Use of technologies that ensure greater durability and resilience of infrastructures, such as the use of the product called "Claycrete", made from clay and used in the construction of earthen roads and which guarantees greater quality and durability of the same, with less need of routine maintenance interventions and, above all, at relatively cheaper costs compared to the construction of paved roads; • Humanitarian assistance to displaced people, solidarity campaigns, resettlement and agricultural development, and income generation projects for displaced and host families.

Each room shared their views on 5 ATs through 4 questions. Food equality is the other topic that has been discussed in details. The success of food bank project during the first phase of COVID-19 outbreak was shared as a case study. Community enterprises and community forest are considered as long-term solution for food equality. The response to the 4 questions from breakout sessions as follow; 1.

(2) The right to food that humans all need adequate food. Land areas must be available for producers to produce good quality and safe food so that consumers will have good health. (3) • AT3: (1) Realise about the issue of land ownership for agricultural purposes. Majority of farmers in northern Thailand, for example, face this limitation. Without rights to land, farmers will not be able to ask for organic certification. They have to seek Participatory Guarantee System (PGS) certification instead. Government should provide support to the PGS standard so they could expand their market competitiveness. (2)Change from multicropping to monocropping cause problems to farmers as they could not depend on themselves. 2. Linking to work experienced and expertise with areas • Thailand should be equipped with food security , and goal for adequate food supplies and food safety. Safe food producer standard should be promoted. Loei is a sample of case study where food safety standard has bs been promoted and implemented since 2018. The provincial food safety panel includes representative from consumer network and other multi-stakeholder. A total of 39 food operators have been certified for food safety standard. No chemical use. Farmers market are open every Wednesday and Saturday and receive positive response from consumers in the province. • A case study from National Health Assembly in Phetchaburi province was discussed. Food safety strategy has been implemented in the province since 2015. Cropping and GPS certification are promoted. Provincial governor is the person who takes care of certification standard. The goal is to link the elderly as the targeted consumer with community enterprise. The province is also selected as a pilot area for green growth policy by the National Economic and Social Development Board. 3. involving factors for implementation, current situation, challenges and supporting factors for policymaking. AT5 (1). Growing local plant should be promoted. (2) Different implementation from different agencies regarding land use and protected areas prevents to farmers’ access to food production source. The Community Forest Bill has made the situation even worse. Farmers and locals cannot access to food resources available in the forest areas nearby their communities, unlike their ways of living in the past. Such issues limit the local’s access of food and health security. - there is no linkage between institution and local actions. 4. Suggestins and proposals for driving implementation of each action track. - there should be rules and regulations to support food safety producers on technology. Government should recognize biodiversity of local plants, agricultural identity by speeding up registration process of these plants as protected species and synchronize all government sectors by using one map. • Use the food system mechanism to direct implementation and added value to the agriculture for boosting GDP and link all involving sectors - the policy and plan for the new BCG model should be suitable for different context at the local community.
