There will be fewer and fewer farmers as we move forwards, greater returns to labour through mechanization and technology are necessary to keep up. We need to make a special effort to attract and retain youth in employment within the food system. Invest in the human resources to support new technology and innovation. Relevant laws need to be enforced. There is no need to wait until 2030 to achieve the vision, every Ministry should have their own roadmap and be working on these issues. Скрыть

Some representatives argue that it is not necessary to conduct food systems dialogues. The National Planning Process under the National Strategic Development Plan and Sectoral policies and plans already in place will guide the nation towards a prosperous and sustainable future. This is partly related to the systems nature of the dialogue which by definition is multi-sectoral and challenging to some entrenched sectoral interests. Nevertheless, the discussions were rich and generated many points of common interest.

The focus of this event was to introduce the food systems dialogues to technical staff from the line ministries and relevant institutions, to provide a basic explanation for the food system and to give key ministries an opportunity to describe their role in food systems. The dialogue was very broad and designed to serve as an entry point for many government staff who are likely to be involved in the in-depth dialogues over coming months.

There is much discussion with ministries required to explain food systems, to determine the legitimacy of any outputs of the dialogue and the relationship of the vision and the roadmap to existing strategic planning. The dialogue will help determine the need for changes in the food system to promote sustainability and allow government, civil society and the private sector to discuss these matters. The dialogues will encourage thinking beyond existing approaches and recognition of new challenges. All stakeholders must join hands and act to address the issues of increasing population and demand ...

Improved production capabilities have created surpluses of commodities for export and production continues to increase. The agriculture sector will focus on increasing the competitiveness of value chains; improving the resilience of infrastructure and trade facilitation; sustainable management of land, forests and fisheries; and improving the institutional and legal framework and capacities of human resources. In relation to food processing, the Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation provides technical support for factories and for small and medium enterprises involved in food services. MISTI is focused on value creation, an area for great potential increases in the contribution of agriculture to the national economy. The Ministry of Commerce and the Cambodia Import Export Inspection and Fraud Repression Directorate in particular are deeply involved in issues relating to governance of the trade aspects of the food system. The Ministry of Commerce also provides a virtual food reserve system under management of Green Trade, monitors and responds to fluctuations in food prices in the markets, controls food losses and wastage, and regulates markets for food safety and for consumer protection. The Ministries recognise the multi-agency system is complex and requires cooperation along the value chain to ensure food quality and safety standards. Скрыть

In this dialogue, we discussed challenges and opportunities related to Action Track 3 especially regarding action and measures for reducing the use of chemical fertilizer and chemical pesticides, and further promoting organic farming, and Action Track 4 especially regarding difficulties of young farmers in expressing their opinions in the local community and solutions to the situation.

The meeting with 4H Club members was held to exchange opinions related to SDGs and sustainable food systems. Main ideas and opinions regarding action and measures for reducing the use of chemical fertilizer and chemical pesticides, and further promoting organic farming are as follows: (1) When Japan intends to promote organic farming, genome editing crops may become a barrier to the export of agricultural products in the future. It is necessary to stay in line with international standards while facilitating innovation in Japan. (2) In Europe, the public purchase of organic farm products has be... Подробнееcome widespread. 50% of school lunch in France are said to be public purchased organic products. In Japan, we need to introduce locally produced organic products into lunch at public schools. (3) There are only a few kinds of pesticides in the field of horticulture. It will be helpful if a pesticide that steers resistibility of plants is developed. (4) As pesticides cannot be used much for organic farming, it will be useful if the herbicide that only makes specific weed died down is developed. (5) Organic farming and reduced pesticides are feasible only when consumers are willing to buy the products for a high price. Without changing consumers’ attitude, farm producers cannot be changed. (6) When promoting organic farming, we need well-established training systems including a curriculum of sales for organic products. (7) There is a gap in items and areas for reducing pesticide use and organic farming that can be introduced. Therefore, it is necessary for us to develop technologies suitable for the land at an experimental laboratory in each prefecture. (8) It often happens that excess supply in the market pushes down prices,　and farm products are easily influenced in terms of price. If an IT system indicating the timing of seeding in each production area is developed, we can avoid overlapping of picking seasons and free fall of the prices. (9) 20% to 30% of agricultural products are discarded in the process of production, therefore, we should consider reforming the existing standards and distribution systems. -Main ideas and opinions regarding difficulties of young farmers in expressing their opinions in the local community and solutions to the situation are as follows: (1) Active young farmers are joining in the agricultural organizations for youth such as 4H club. It is important to expand these activities nationwide, and the involvement and support of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries is very helpful. (2)After I joined in 4H club and was assigned to an official position, I won the confidence to be able to express my opinion. We would like to encourage young farmers to participate in agricultural organizations and to have experience to express their opinions. Скрыть

In this dialogue, we discussed challenges and opportunities related to all Action Tracks.

The meeting with agricultural high school principals was held to exchange opinions on education related to SDGs and sustainable food systems. Main ideas and opinions are as follows: ・Most students at agricultural high schools used to be sons and daughters of farmers who would inherit farmland. However, with the decreasing number of young farmers, the agricultural society is hard to keep up these days, lacking a clear image of students for agricultural education. Thus, establishing a new model of the agricultural community is critical for the society as well as agricultural high schools. ・A... Подробнееt schools, the students study SDGs as a research theme for finding solutions. If they learn that SDGs is the center topic of discussions at the Unite Nations Food Systems Summit, they become much more interested in their research on SDGs. It is possible for high school students to have the worldwide perspective and consider SDGs through their daily research, which, as a result, would improve their motivation for study. ・Workshops in which high school students can participate are very good opportunities for educators to convey the importance of SDGs and sustainable food systems to them. They understand that pursuing SDGs is a worldwide challenge, and by understanding this, they improve their ability to think by themselves through interactive communication and exchange of opinions. ・Each agricultural high school makes its own effort, aiming at all 17 goals of sustainable development. On the other hand, the students may not understand worldwide socioeconomic circumstances very well. If the national and local governments provide related information more, they will understand the worldwide socioeconomic circumstances and SDGs much deeper. Then, specific ideas and action among students can emerge. ・Holding a regional meeting in cooperation with each regional branch of the national government or local government, or holding an information exchange meeting with foreign students, is a good stimulus for the students and it would lead to better understanding to SDGs and sustainable food systems.

There are many challenges that face Kuwait regarding action track 5 and the need to ensure adequate supplies of safe and nutritious foods. Due to the limited agricultural production, rapid growth in food demand, the huge dependency on imported food and the presence of several regulatory bodies working in the field of food, agriculture, and health leads to an overlap of responsibilities and thus leads to ineffective implementation. Providing safe and nutritious food by following laws, legislations and updated standards helps to improve food production systems and ensures the principle of “If ... Подробнееit is not safe, it is not food'. It is also important to establish food traceability mechanisms to track food production of imported and locally produced food, and the necessity to apply penalties to violators on the misuse of pesticides for example. Many opinions emphasized the necessity of investing in the field of modern agriculture technologies due to its importance in steadfastness and standing in the face of natural changes. This would help in agricultural production opportunities and supports the production system by urging the adoption of good agricultural practices. One of the most important solutions discussed to amend the current conditions of food systems namely, manufacturing, cultivation, import, through all the food and nutrition chain systems to ensure quality and food safety for the consumer. Risk based analysis must be properly implemented. It was also mentioned by the participants that community awareness of food security and sustainability is important during the early stages of education. Скрыть

These action tracks are: 1) Ensure access to safe and nutritious food for all. 2) Shift to sustainable consumption patterns. 3) Boost nature positive production. 4) Advance equitable livelihoods 5) Build resilience to vulnerabilities, shocks, and stress. It was clear from discussions that there was an excessive focus on the vulnerability of Kuwait's food systems that is import dependent and the need to have a clear vision aiming to transform Kuwait into a self-sufficient country. COVID-19 pandemic exposed the suboptimal functions of Kuwait food systems and proved that it is vulnerable to shock and stress despite many years of investment in policies and programs. There is an urgent need of significant policy reformulation and shift in business models to strengthen national food systems. Скрыть

Kuwait has the capacity to build its national food systems, but this will require radical change in the country's government structure, public-private partnerships, and above all strong political will and courage to set up food and nutrition security action plan in Kuwait. This is achievable by establishing a supreme council for food and nutrition headed by a decision maker at the highest administration at the national level accompanied with proper legislations, implementation, and monitoring. This will enable all key players across the various subsystems and domains to align their action plan... Подробнееs towards achieving common goals that are effective, efficient, and sustainable. Kuwait national development plan 2035 needs to include a food and nutrition security plan that focuses on prioritizing nutrition policies and healthy lifestyle behavior that is culturally applicable, resilient, and sustainable. There is an urgent need to transform Kuwait from a country that depends on importation of all types of food to a country of self-sufficiency. While these transformations might take some time to achieve, Kuwait must start by taking some immediate strategic transition steps that include: - Forming Supreme council for food and nutrition security. - Increase investment in Food Systems research and development. - Enhance investment in infrastructures that support critical innovations and increase resilience and productivity. - Engage youth and women in agriculture using technology. - Educate children and youth about adequate food consumption. - Put in place risk management in food systems.

It is also recommended to adopt policies that strengthen partnership with the private sector: manufacturers, producers and suppliers of food and supporting small enterprises and youth initiatives to adopt the WHO and FAO recommendations to locally produce and import food commodities with low content of added salt, added sugar and free from trans fatty acids. This will improve the nutritional status of the population and reduce risk factors associated with chronic diseases, while aiming to reduce the cost of these food products to facilitate their availability. It is also important to support farmers by providing smart technologies in all stages of agriculture. It is important to identify and exchange experiences with the countries of the region regarding success stories of increasing local production of fruits and vegetables using modern scientific methods that ensures sustainable water usage to reduce waste and access to quality products. It is important to revise the currant food subsidies policy that includes food that does not comply with the recommendations of international organizations concerned with health and nutrition that contributes to increased consumption, waste and possibly misuse. It is extremely important to make the appropriate amendments to the quantities allocated to everyone in addition to replacing some of the items while adding others that are healthier and more nutritious. Youth nutritional health is important; thus, it is a priority to review and amend food items sold in school canteens, complying with the approved regulations and requirements, following up on their implementation, and making appropriate adjustments based on the assessment of results. Imbedding health and nutrition into the school curricula in an attractive and interesting manner will encourage students to consume these foods in a scientifically proven methods such as front of pack labeling.
