There is not much divergence of perspectives among the participants since the facilitators were adept at steering the discussions towards consensus building. Among the areas of divergence that cropped up is the role of LGUs in ensuring sustainability of potential ABCs. While some argued that projects or initiatives that are inherently good and promise a high ROI are intrinsically shielded from politics, others countered that this may not be true most of the time depending on the culture of governance and priorities of elected local leaders.

Outcomes of the forum are recommended priority actions that can contribute to the narratives along the five-point action tracks. For the small island economy model, there is a need to include in the national fisheries and aquaculture commodity industry roadmaps the development of small island economies as a major strategy. This is not only to ensure improvement in the economy and ultimately in the lives of people in the island municipalities but also to shield this development intervention from local politics that may shift priorities when there’s change in local administration. To further s... Lire la suiteustain this model, participation of the private sector especially in the development of nurseries (hatcheries) to put up with the requirements of the island is of paramount importance. There is also a need to capacitate the local fisherfolk as well as women in the island especially in value-adding of fish products to create more jobs in the community. Finally, to prevent the possible entry of pest and diseases in the island, an “all-out, no-in” policy in ensuring biosecurity should be considered. For the Clustering Sustainable Aquaculture Parks, one strongly recommended priority action is the identification of platforms for replicability in the local level wherein the LGUs are more capacitated to adopt the Big Brother–Small Brother (BB-SB) partnership, considering the following: • Group readiness to adopt the partnership • Transparency (farm gate price, long term agreements) • Production incentives • Credit access and financing programs • Collaboration with intermediaries • Policy support • Gender-responsive Another is the establishment of a strong market linkage based on the whole-of-society approach through the inclusion of CSOs, NGAs, LGUs and private companies through the conduct of roadshows, widening up of the collaborative mechanism among cooperatives such as “Coop Kapatid Program”, and the utilization of information technology and social media platforms for market expansion. In the case of the NSTP, the identified options and opportunities for change were likewise considered to be the priority actions to be considered. Lire moins

The major findings of the forum based on analysis conducted during the workshop includes the strengths and vulnerabilities as well as replicability of each ABC model: Small-Island Economy: The Case of Bantayan Island Among the strengths of this model includes being able to capitalize on the biosecurity aspect given its characteristic as an island with a natural barrier that protects it from human or man-made-induced spread of pests and diseases. Likewise, the leadership of the current local administration proves to be a formidable force towards developing the island’s economy through the cra... Lire la suitefting of a local agri-fisheries comprehensive development and investment plan linked or coordinated with the Department of Agriculture’s programs to maximize the rich resources of the municipality. Finally, being an island municipality of the Province of Cebu which is a “magnet” for tourists with high propensity on consumption of seafood, demand for fisheries and aquaculture products will surely increase ensuring ready market that will ultimately help boost the economy of the island. Vulnerabilities of the model are hinged more on the existing capacities of the local fishers (including women) who need to be trained on the business and technology aspects of production and value adding as well as ensuring sustainability of programs and projects in case of change in administration which might shift the priorities of the LGU. In terms of replicability of the business model, the island economy model is viable and may be replicated depending on the political will and receptiveness of other island municipalities to open up their areas for commerce. Possible options and opportunities for change involves the participation of the private sector especially in the development of nurseries (hatcheries – specifically for milkfish and rabbit fish) and in capacitating the local fisherfolk in the island particularly in the non-capital intensive industries, such as seaweeds, mussels etc., and in the development of aquaculture and ecotourism industries. Corollary to this is enforcement of policies for marine protected areas in partnership with the marine police to prevent destruction of fishery habitats and other possible production areas. Small Brother-Big Brother Partnership: Clustering Sustainable Aquaculture Parks The strength of this model includes full support of enabling laws such as the Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises (CREATE) Law, Build-Operate-and-Transfer (BOT) Law, Local Investment Code, Guidelines and Procedures for Entering into Joint Venture (JV) Agreements Between Government and Private Entities, the DILG-PPPC Joint Memorandum Order 2019-01 or the LGU P4, etc. This entails a whole-of-society approach with high degree of replicability, hence, a good model in generating jobs, income and ultimately in addressing food security. Perhaps, the perceived vulnerabilities along this model are more on the need to establish the required infrastructure and logistics component especially in rural areas. This is where government may come in to catalyze the growth of agribusiness and pouring in of private sector investments by providing the needed infrastructure support. Possible options and opportunities for change available in the context of this model are the available credit facilities for micro, small, medium and large enterprises through banks (like Land Bank and Development Bank of the Philippines) and other financial institutions as well as programs offered by concerned agencies like Agricultural Credit Policy Council and Cooperative Development Authority. Seed System Innovations: The National Seed Technology Park (NSTP) The NSTP is probably the most definitive model of a component of a budding ABC in one of the growing industrial hubs of the country. Its strengths are inherently built in its infrastructure component that can serve as one stop shop accessible to farmers. Technology innovations through the establishment of the NSTP can definitely be sustained which consequently serve as an incubation hub of technology. Vulnerabilities of this model are budget-related, especially in its fledgling stage to ensure sustainability. As such, and similar with the Clustering Sustainable Aquaculture Parks, it should take advantage of the provisions of existing enabling laws. Possible options and opportunities to address its vulnerabilities include a) Strengthen the seed industry through the establishment of an Office to handle/steer the Seed Industry Development Program, b) Integrate the functions of DA agencies, academe and other concerned agencies in seed development, c) Replicate the National Seed Technology Parks in other parts of the country; d) Strengthen and provide financing to the Seed Industry Council, e) Continuously provide capacity building activities, farmers training facilities, and shared service facilities, and f) Revisit the existing laws and regulations on seed industry to amend provisions that constrain or hamper its growth and development.

The Forum directly focused on the identified models as existing prototypes of promising Agri-Industrial Business Corridors (ABCs) that can serve as mechanisms for a) promoting sustainable agricultural development through value chains within agricultural clusters along existing infrastructure corridors, b) establishing transformative multi-sectoral public-private partnerships, and c) providing catalytic financing to attract capital from domestic and international, public and private sources. The ABC is actually one of the key strategies of the ONE DA reform agenda in transforming Philippine agr... Lire la suiteiculture and fisheries, specifically under the major category - Industrialization, that will guide the DA in pursuing major programs and activities that can pave the way towards attaining a modest agriculture and fisheries sector growth. The main objectives of ABCs are a) to disperse agri-based industries to the regions and decongest highly populated urban centers, b) to entice the private sector to invest and to allow greater application of modern farm technology and knowledge that aims to dramatically raise agricultural productivity, c) to integrate smallholder farmers by providing them access to resources, including state-of-the-art production technology, capital, and value-adding facilities, and d) to help address employment challenges in the “new normal” or post-COVID-19 environment.

The results of the Dialogue are as follows: 1. Extensive discussion on the CREATE Law It was shared that both the government and private sectors support and are very optimistic about the Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises (CREATE) Law. The law improves the country’s incentive system including the reduction of the corporate income tax rate and aims to lower investment costs for borrowers and operating capital. It was underscored that this law will also help the country become more competitive, particularly with other ASEAN countries, as it elicits and encourages more invest... Lire la suitements into the country. It was also suggested that the CREATE law be amended to consider imposing taxes on imported finished goods to level up the playing field. 2. Demonstration of support for Land consolidation and clustering It was underscored that land consolidation and clustering is an avenue to help modernize agriculture and will help improve the payment capacity of borrowers, through efficient production and marketing. This strategy also addresses the concerns of some investors who would like to invest in a big area of land, which could not be catered before without clustered lands. It was highlighted that this strategy could only succeed when full support is given in the whole value chain in terms of technology, financing, marketing, and enabling the policy environment. Aside from these, legitimizing clustering was also recognized as a priority for the private sector. Through this initiative, there is assurance that support is being provided for the whole value chain. On the side of the government, concerns such as rapid sharing, marketing agreement and income concerns of farmers with the corporations, as well as pole-vaulting or side-selling issues were raised. Awareness campaigns could highlight the benefits of clustering/consolidation. Monitoring of productivity and income will help meet the goals of farmers. There is also a need to develop a more effective business model by cooperatives. 3. Empowering the community of farmers, workers, and independent beneficiaries There were main strategies shared by the private sector during the dialogue. First, there must be partnership between and among the farmers. This partnership must include a mechanism by which the produce of the farmers are to be purchased by the private sector or investors. Second, machineries must be provided and be made available to the farmers. Third, farmers must be taught new techniques (e.g. rejuvenating and rehabilitation of farms to increase farmers’ production and income). Government support must be in place (e.g. financing assistance and incentives). 4. Enabling environment for agricultural investment The tax programs of the government should be expanded to the whole value chain. Engagement of the government with the private sector through public private partnership was also recognized.Another suggestion was focused on increasing the investments in technology. 5. Soliciting more support from the government The private sector underscored the necessity for the government to prioritize fiscal incentives because it gives confidence for them to get back from the adverse effects of the pandemic and for the farmers to continue producing goods. It should also invest in post-harvest infrastructure, such as cold storage facilities, warehouses, and refrigeration facilities to mitigate post-harvest losses and food wastage along the value chain, thereby expanding markets for perishable products, among others. The private sector also shared its support to the government’s approach of “One region, one product” since not all crops can be planted in all regions. 6. Commitment to work in achieving zero hunger by 2030 There is a need for extreme political will. Government interventions in eliminating hunger should be well targeted and focused and this requires the necessity for disaggregated data. Interventions should start at the level of expectant and lactating mothers.Finally, school feeding programs should be expanded.The government should take the whole-of-country approach. Lire moins

The following were the findings and recommendations of the National Dialogue on Responsible Investments in Agriculture: 1. Investments in agriculture are necessary for food and nutrition security. Based on the discussion, there is a need to work on incentives, technology, credit support and investments in the whole agriculture value chain, particularly on farm consolidation or clustering to achieve economies of scale for a market-driven, value-chain oriented food system. One important suggestion is for the government to launch an awareness campaign highlighting the advantages if farmers and fi... Lire la suiteshers consolidate/cluster. 2. It is vital to increase the confidence level of investors in the agriculture and fisheries sector. A step towards this goal can be observed in the passing of the CREATE Law. With this, the government should openly engage with the private sector to maximize government policies on investment and support in the agriculture sector. 3. The government needs to prioritize provisions of fiscal incentives to help the private sector regain confidence after going through the adverse effects of the pandemic. The government and its stakeholders should continue working together to achieve national food security. Furthermore, investments should focus more on post-harvest infrastructure, such as cold storage facilities, warehouses, and refrigeration facilities to mitigate post-harvest losses and food wastage along the value chain, and to develop markets for perishable products, among others. 4. The private sector takes big risks when investing in agriculture. Therefore, the government should provide a fair, transparent, consistent, and enabling environment. Furthermore, the farmer/beneficiary/cooperator should also be considered by the private sector/investor so that they share in the wealth generated by the land. 5. Statistically, it is possible to achieve zero hunger by 2030 but this will need extreme political will. Specifically, this period will practically cover two administrations which may not necessarily have the same political vision. There is a need to continuously increase production and investment to level up the agri-fishery sector. Consequently, this shall address the demand of the growing population of Filipinos. 6. The efforts of the government should be clearly targeted and focused to achieve the SDGs by 2030. For example, government interventions should target stunting among Filipino children. 7. The government should take a whole-of-country approach seriously and beyond this administration. This includes ensuring the active participation of non-government stakeholders in eradicating hunger, achieving food security and improved nutrition, and promoting sustainable and responsible agriculture.

The Dialogue focused on the four of the eight paradigms of the Philippine Department of Agriculture’s “New Thinking in Agriculture”– modernization, industrialization, consolidation, and infrastructure development. All of these paradigms are anchored on investments, the bulk of which comes from the private sector. Since responsible agricultural investments should contribute to food security and nutrition, among other principles, key challenges, gaps and areas of improvement were discussed to identify and formulate necessary policies and interventions from the government to address these...

There is divergence among the perspective and opinions of the participants, however the discussion focused towards a common goal that population and food production should go hand in hand including peace building. The government should look at improving conditions of underdeveloped areas and what appropriate industries should be given to them.

Another take away is to improve and support strategies to strengthen food security and nutrition in conflict affected areas vis a vis strengthening of peace building specifically on agricultural productivity, livelihood, infrastructure and expansion of market and value chain management. Some of the policy recommendations provided and agreed include: • Improve institutional mechanisms for more integrative programs (e.g. integration of population management strategies in food security and anti-hunger mitigation programs); • Strengthen the population and development integration policy and program (i.e. comprehensively address concerns on population distribution due to unmanaged internal migration and optimizing changing age structure – demographic dividend; • Reduce regional imbalance in economic opportunities by expanding economic opportunities in other regions outside NCR, Central Luzon and CALABARZON; • Enhance the linkages within the core system of food systems (production, aggregation, processing, distribution and consumption) and their support service providers, as well as the interactions between the core system and social and natural contexts they are embedded in, affected by and have impacts on; and • Enhance governance mechanisms among diverse stakeholders of the food systems.

Using the conceptual framework for Peace Development, Population and Poverty it identified some takeaways to include: • Ideology based armed conflicts (IBACs) delay the development of affected communities • IBACs can be resolved with strong institutional support from national and local governments • IBACs has affected the resiliency of the population The IBACs impinge upon development. Poverty and deprivation are conflated reasons for armed conflict, where delivery of services, livelihood and economic activities of the population are disrupted or delayed, and thus, IBAC-affected areas ar... Lire la suitee left behind by their counterparts. IBACs develop in remote and poverty stricken communities where social services such as schools, health facilities are barely delivered or none at all due to inaccessibility. Frustrations over impeded delivery by local government of basic social services including infrastructure and utilities translate to dissent. IBACs impact on population factors as in migration (in-migration); in-migration in search for safer areas such is an inevitable reaction to armed violence. The movement of the population towards urbanized areas is largely temporary, the sources of their livelihood and properties being located in their original domiciles. Combined poverty reduction, population management, peace development and peace-making strategies are needed to make a dent on the effects of IBACs on the population. The attainment of lasting and sustainable peace through peace-making coming from state, non-state actors with the direct involvement of the grassroots in the IBAC affected areas enables the population to move forward to development. Policy enhances and strengthens peace development, poverty reduction and peace-making. The attainment of peace as a matter of policy will realize peace dividends. Policy change and policy advocacy are necessary towards full development of IBAC areas. Lire moins

We cannot hope for sustainable development without peace, stability, human rights and effective governance, based on the rule of law. Yet our world is increasingly divided. Some regions enjoy peace, security and prosperity, while others fall into seemingly endless cycles of conflict and violence. This is not inevitable and must be addressed. By using the framework for Analyzing the Demographic Dimension of Peace and Security, the following were emphasized: • Migration of lowlanders to the upland areas could be a source of peace and order problems; • An expanding urban population with an ec... Lire la suiteonomy that is not providing commensurate socioeconomic growth could instigate political instability; • Where education is low and poverty incidence and hunger is high, conflict or crimes are likely to be higher and demand for peace and security interventions is also likely to be higher; • Cultural ideologies pose a threat to peace and security (e.g. ideology based armed conflicts or IBACs, tribal wars); • Political conflicts in specific areas likewise affect the status of peace and security; and • Economic reforms and development opportunities impact on securing peace. Along this line, conflict has strong and unambiguous adverse effects on food security and nutrition. It is the major driver of food insecurity and malnutrition, both acute and chronic. The causal effects of conflict-food security nexus vary across conflict zones, but common features are disruptions in the food production and food systems, plundering of crops and livestock, loss of assets and incomes, hence directly and directly affecting food access.

The need for a sustained program to help increase food security may be achieved through the collaboration of both the government and the private sector. The joint effort may ensure continued outcome and progress in the food system of the country. Another response would be on the productivity support and incentives that should be provided to the farmers as they are the main drivers for food security. In addition, the population growth based on the projection of the Philippine Statistical Authority by 2025 will be down to 1.04% if the trend in 2019 continues. This would mean that there will also... Lire la suite be a possibility of achieving an equitable food system in the country. Further, the improving literacy and education among the populace especially the youth in order to address the problem of teenage pregnancy, among others, need to be addressed as part of the needed action and program of the country’s Department of Education (DepEd). The idea is to come up with programs and policies which could help in resolving the premarital pregnancy and the well-being of young mothers and their children. Spatial planning for more food production, on the other hand, is also important as part of the Department of Agriculture’s program intervention.

The main discussion of the forum focused on the demographic dimensions as it affects the food system of the country. Based on the ICPD Principle 2 that “Human beings are at the center of concerns for sustainable development…They have the right to an adequate standards of living for themselves and their families, including adequate food, clothing, housing, water and sanitation.” It was further stressed under Section 3.20 that “Measures should be taken to strengthen food, nutrition and agricultural policies and programmes, and fair trade relations, with special attention to the creation ...

Population determines the level of demand and also affects the core processes of food systems: as producers, processors, distributors and consumers. The discussant also presented data on the current population, population growth and changing age structure, fertility and mortality which undeniably affect the food production of the country. Food insecurity among Filipinos has significantly increased from 53.9% in 2018 to 64.1% in 2019 (based on 2019 Expanded National Nutrition Survey). As emphasized, food insecurity was higher in the rural areas, poor households, households with heads with lower educational attainment, without financial assistance from abroad and those that are engaged in agriculture.
