As a result of the second meeting, the importance of establishing long-term plans and supporting farm household income, setting adequate level of food self-sufficiency rate, and connecting domestic food production and consumption was emphasized to stabilize food supply and maintain food production base. Also, the importance of securing agricultural manpower for stable food production was presented. To cope with global food crisis, the necessity of securing grain stockpiling and connecting ODA projects with overseas agricultural development projects was suggested.

In addition, from the perspective of international cooperation, it was suggested that Korean government needs to share “past development experiences” in agriculture with developing countries and that major grain exporting countries should play a leading role in stabilizing global grain market. There was an opinion that issues related to “small farmers”, “vulnerable farmers” and “elderly farmers” should be considered as important in order for UN food system summit to serve as “A People's Summit”.

The dialogue mainly focused on “food security” issues such as stabilizing food supply, maintaining production base, and boosting food crisis response. Also, the needs for international cooperation was discussed to ensure food security and to contribute overcoming current global food crisis.

There were two divergence areas: • Changing the title of the National Strategy to the express general orientation terms and not only a focus on overweight and obesity. • Not all participants understood the relevance of linking the proposed Healthy, Just and Sustainable Food and Nutrition Strategy for Overweight and Obesity Prevention with the discussion related to sustainable agri-food systems.

The major focus of this first National Dialogue was: a) to give a general introduction to the Summit, it’s global and national relevance, and the Dialogues process; and b) to introduce a new policy proposal that is planned to be implemented in the country called the National Healthy, Just and Sustainable Food and Nutrition Strategy for Overweight and Obesity Prevention, and c) to identify priority topics for the next dialogues. The Strategy aims at being the National Food Policy for the coming years. It includes 4 pillars: 1) Policy, 2) Environments, 3) Production and Access, 4) Individual a... Подробнееnd intrapersonal actions. The discussion regarding the National Strategy is directly related to the following Action Tracks: 1) Ensure access to safe and nutritious foods for all, 2) Shift to sustainable consumption patterns, 3) Boost nature-positive production. Opening the national dialogues by discussing a policy proposal is innovative for the country. This is the first time that food policy would be openly discussed among diverse actors—including civil society and academia—and that it will receive feedback and recommendations before being published.

Participants identified the following topics as priorities for the next dialogues: • Communication, education, and behavioral change. • Policies for the first 1,000 days of life and biofortification. • Environmental protection and agri-food systems. • Agroecology and sustainable food systems. • Food loss and waste. • Indicators, monitoring and evaluation of the National Healthy, Just and Sustainable Food and Nutrition Strategy. • Commercial networks and public procurement systems. General country priorities for public policy: • Food policy tied to specific federal budget lines.... Подробнее • Focus the National Healthy, Just and Sustainable Food and Nutrition Strategy on Malnutrition and not only on overweight and obesity. • Access to nutritious and sustainable foods. • Capacity development for smallholder farming and family farming. • Incentives for healthy food production. • Food policy pending regulations in the country: advertisement regulations, tax policy. • Create appropriate food policy plans according to regional specific needs. • Conflict of interest regulations in food policy. Скрыть

Individual and intrapersonal • Establish a greater policy focus, not only include overweight and obesity, but malnutrition. • Create Dietary Guidelines for the Mexican population that serve as the base for food policy. • Create not only a temporary campaign, but a robust behavioral change strategy that is culturally appropriate. • Create behavioral change strategies targeted to children and schools. • Take advantage of digital marketing directed to adolescents to promote healthy nutrition and physical activity behaviors. • It is relevant to create communication strategies based on ... Подробнееhuman rights. • Position the relevance of consuming local and natural products. Скрыть

Production and access • Recognize the importance of traditional production techniques that are environmentally friendly. • Encourage the use of technology for sustainability. • Support small and medium-sized farmers. • Encourage the production of local products. • Value biodiversity in food production. • Make food value chains more efficient and sustainable. • Environmental justice and land ownership. • Improve food distribution infrastructure.

Food environments • It is relevant to reinforce local food value chains. • It is relevant to encourage the creation of environments appropriate for children and adolescents. • It is relevant to consider food policy regulations as part of the environment. • It is important to consider how advertisement influences the environment and how it should be regulated in harmony with other existing regulations (for example, the front of pack labelling ones). • Consider how urban design, including public transportation, can influence healthier environments. • It is relevant to communicate the... Подробнее new regulations to the general public, for example the one on front of pack labelling. • Create Food Based Dietary Guidelines. • Ensure access to drinking water in rural and urban vulnerable communities. • Use of public space for physical activity. • Consider school infrastructure as a mean to promote healthy food and nutrition behaviors. • Encourage consumption of local produce. • It is relevant to work together with civil society to create healthy and sustainable food environments. Скрыть

Public policy • It is important to continue advancing the regulatory measures that have started in the country related to food policy. For example, the ones on food advertisement, and taxes to unhealthy food. • It is also relevant to leave no one behind in terms of food policy and create specific programs to develop capacity and give special support to family farming and smallholder farming. • It is relevant to create and implement new monitoring and evaluation indicators that respond to the new an innovative food policy.

The expression of views of the stakeholders on challenges and opportunities for sustainable food systems associated with the new strategy, “MeaDRI”.

The main remarks of the participants are as follows. (1) It is possible to develop agricultural production and the wide- range businesses using profits from solar power generation of farmland. Such income other than farming will enable us to regenerate idle plots and lead to resolution of unused farmland. (2) Younger generation is highly interested in new perspectives, and it is important to change the way agriculture is performed by energy use. In addition, as they are also highly interested in environmental issues, the conversion of agriculture itself to one with a low environmental load thr... Подробнееough the conversion of energy will lead to fostering the next generation. (3) For the sustainable development of agriculture, it is necessary to build a sustainable energy supply and demand system in Japan, including by technological development. Also, we need to present what agriculture and farm villages should be in 2050, so that we can help younger generation imagine agriculture in the future. (4) Regarding creation of innovation, the reason why the electrification of agricultural machinery such as tractors is behind that of overseas is that the domestic market is small and difficult to expand. We would like to ask the government to create an incentive for businesses from an international perspective, including technology transfer to developing countries. (5) In rural areas, power transmission lines are not sufficiently developed. Therefore, it is important how to consume the generated electricity in the area. Using an EV car as a storage battery, it charges electricity on farmland during the day and uses it at home at night to contribute to “local production for local consumption”. (6) For woody biomass power generation, securing dried wood chips, maximizing heat utilization, and commercializing biochar are important. We would like to realize “local production for local consumption” by installing the power generation facility near the heat demand such as farmland and shortening the distance between the farmland and the power generation facility (within 30km). (7) By utilizing bio-gasification technology and using heat and biochar generated as by-product, it is possible to contribute to creating a recycling-oriented society even on a small scale. (8) A biogas plant that utilizes livestock manure requires a high maintenance cost of the facility. Effective use of digestive juice as liquid fertilizer leads to reduction of chemical fertilizer, and therefore, we would like to ask for the governmental support for its maintenance costs. Скрыть

In this dialogue, we discussed challenges and opportunities especially related to Action Track 2 and Action Track 3.

The dialogue with the committee meeting on new policies for agricultural communities was held to exchange opinions related to SDGs and sustainable food systems.The main remarks of the participants are as follows. (1) SDGs is a way of global thinking, but when creating a vision for RMO (Regional Management Organization), there are voices from the local side to include SDGs. It is important not only to support the rural areas because they suffer from fatigue, but also to spread the idea that what they do is good for someone on the earth, to national units, prefectural units, and even smaller uni... Подробнееts. (NPO) (2) It is difficult to achieve the goals by agriculture alone, but it is important to achieve the goals through inclusion of the manufacturing and transportation processes of chemical pesticide and fertilizer, for example, CO2 zero emission goal. (professor’s comment) (3) Regarding innovation originating from rural areas, I would like to emphasize not only unilaterally leaving it to private investment, but also relationships in which different players have empathy with each other (professor’s comment). (4) I think that Japanese agriculture has a double standard, which consists of agriculture for the sake of economy and profits, and agriculture for sustainably growing vegetables by themselves. The latter remains firmly in Japan, and it may be possible to consider this as a model for sustainability (the private sector). (5) Young people have a feeling to empathy with SDGs, so it would be good if we could foster SDGs, including local SDGs (Regional Circular and ecological Sphere), as words that can positively grasp the future, (the private sector) (6) Advanced cases of SDGs in Japanese rural areas are not well known due to their weak information dissemination ability. I feel that the commonplace of Japanese rural areas may be one of the most advanced cases in the world. It is very valuable to disseminate that information to the world. (the private sector) (7) The global food crisis is imminent, but rice surplus is one of the biggest problems in Japan. I think we will protect the rural areas by making rice, so I would like to ask the government to create the necessary support system and mechanism so that we can continue to grow rice in rural areas in the future. (agricultural producer’s comment) (8) If SDGs are reflected on the regional level, they will reach to the issues of agriculture, forestry, food loss and waste, even in urban areas, so the affinity with these things is very high. (professor’s comment). Скрыть

The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) support for the plan will mainly be delivered through the Research for Development, Extension and Education and the MAFF are working closely to improve the quality, diversity and safety of produce, including in cooperation with neighboring countries for developing standards and guidelines for ASEAN. The work of the National Nutrition Programme to be more clearly acknowledged and correctly referenced in the plan. The General Secretariat of the National Social Protection Council will provide additional feedback to clarify existing social... Подробнее assistance measures relevant to the plan. The Ministry of Rural Development asked that WASH should be reflected in more areas of the plan as it is essential for all four outcomes. The authors of the draft plan explained that they were asked specifically to limit the number of activities under each outcome and that if one activity contributed to more outcomes, that activity should only be mentioned once to avoid repetition. Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport confirmed that element of the plan relating to school were suitable for them. The Ministry of Planning and Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation asked that due consideration be given to encouraging research into the benefits of fortification of children's food. Clarification of the term first years of children's life was sought to ensure consistency with a focus on the 1000 day window and on children under five years of age in the policies of the Royal Government. A plan for social and behavioural change communication was strongly recommended as an element of the plan and it was suggested that the prevention of unwanted pregnancies should also be part of the education aspects. The means of implementation were discussed and it was recommended by civil society representatives that the multistakeholder platforms at national and sub-national level were critical to success. These platforms should be explicitly mentioned in the implementation plan. The contributions of the Cambodia Nutrition Project were summarised and additional information was submitted for the existing and planned contributions of the project to the prevention and treatment of wasting in children. These activities were incorporated into the plan. Participants asked for greater clarity on who does what and suggested that a detailed mapping exercise would be very valuable for determining which activities will be supported and then activating the plan.

No major areas of divergence emerged in the dialogue, although some participants were critical of nomenclature, hierarchy and lack of clarity in the specification of roles. This clarity is required for all ministries and government institutions and also applies for other agencies. Opportunity to correct these errors was provided in follow-up to the event.

UN agencies at regional and country level have supported the development of a draft Country Roadmaps for Action for Cambodia. The roadmap identifies a set of priority actions needed to accelerate progress on the prevention and treatment of wasting which can be integrated into broader national policies, strategies and plans and which is wholly relevant to Action Track 1 of the Food Systems Dialogue and Roadmap. The focus of this dialogue has been to engage actors in a discussion of the draft Roadmap across multiple systems (health, food, social protection and water, sanitation and hygiene) and ... Подробнееmultiple stakeholders (development and humanitarian partners, bilateral and multilateral organisations, civil society and the private sector). The UN in Cambodia recognises that it is crucial to integrate actions to prevent and treat wasting into existing and forthcoming national multi-sector nutrition strategies and plans including the National Food Systems Dialogues. The UN Agencies involved reconfirmed their commitment to support the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) in addressing maternal and child malnutrition in all its forms. The dialogue event provides an opportunity to present the Draft Country Roadmap for Action to the RGC and other interested parties, to discuss the plans and to continue with progress towards the elimination of wasting. The dialogue event served to inform stakeholders of the plan, facilitate broad discussion and to elicit focused responses from representatives of key ministries and institutions. Скрыть

The main findings were that there was more work required to follow-up with ministries by the various UN agencies (depending on which one is best positioned with each ministry or institution), and to follow-up on input received to reflect it in an updated version, outlining more clearly which Ministry is leading on the various activities, and who is supporting them in the implementation. Because the plan was presented in English there was a challenge for many participants to grasp the detail. Simultaneous translation helped to provide clarity for the discussion. In general, the substance of the... Подробнее plan was seen to be sound, with a requirement that errors in nomenclature and agency roles be corrected. Useful additions to the plan came from the World Bank and Pooling Partners for the Cambodia Nutrition Project and from other agencies implementing relevant activities in the target areas. The participants also added the prevention and treatment of Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) into the plan, making a substantial commitment to tackle the problem and boost the support to the Ministry of Health and other relevant ministries for this critical task. The priority remains for the prevention and treatment of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and the Ministry of Health needs substantially increased resources to lift the level of treatment for the most severe cases.
