Main findings
A. Ensuring access to safe and nutritious food for all a) There is increased initiatives from the community and consumer participation is important, especially during the pandemic, where production became in harmony with nature. b) There is also exploring the potential and documenting local food and food ingredients, especially non- timber forest products, and maintain the continuity of native local varieties in organic agriculture. c) Theres should be trainer of the trainer for small organic – agroecology farmers and training on market access. Small organic farmers can also have collaborati

There are training for women community and educate consumers about the nutritional value and goodness to return to the forgotten local and how to process local materials and food. B. Shifting to sustainable consumption patterns a) Sustainable use of resources can only be possible with a good working knowledge of those resources. b) Organic farmers work in range of ecosystems -there is a maximum sustainable yield of each ecosystem from any landscape and what’s happening today is from forests to farms that are managed organically but as we move towards urbanization, you will find that the impervious surfaces - a tremendous amount of capacity to produce ecosystem services is lost. c) The price is that fossil led development is creating climate change. d) In the future, monoculture, corporate farming will not work. It will be too hot for it. Therefore, we should stop thinking monoculture small farm and think of farms that are surrounded by trees and tree crops, landscapes that are diverse and developed, this has to be landscape to survive climate change and as small farmers, this is our strength. C. Boosting nature-positive production a) The world has shrink into a small world and that whatever happens to it, affects everyone so that the call is to deglobalize and relocalize food systems. We have to argue as well that global Free Trade under WTO is not favorable to small farmers. b) Environmental components of nature-boosting production: Regenerate and conserve soil/reduce soil degradation; Efficient water harvesting /uses renewable energy; Seeds/planting materials; Conservation of agrobiodiversity, genetic and species diversity: intercropping / polyculture; Agro-forestry; Crop-livestock integration; Functional biodiversity (biological mgt of pests/disease/weeds); Holistic landscape management c) Local/farmers market (short food mileage and a mitigation to climate change) and to enhance food security of the local systems. Farmers should determine market price of products, enhance fair, distribution webs that are interconnected locally so that this is more sustainable and has more contribution to local food security and sovereignty. Farmers need to have a sustainable livelihood and steady income, without it, there will be no more farmers and the so called “farming without farmers” and ultimately moving into corporate agribusiness farming which will create more socio-economic and political problems of feeding the hungry. d) Grow the food that you eat, eat the food that you grow! e) Organized/Strengthened farmers organization is needed. We need stronger participation of farmers/consumers in decision-making about food and agriculture. Lobby for public policies in support of farmers/ IP; decentralized, collective participatory governance of farming and food systems and farmers control of seeds, land, market price set by producers. f) Develop a new food system that is for small scale farmers, for sustainability, for the earth and for the coming generation. D. Advancing equitable livelihoods a) Improved access to organic markets through a guarantee system for small scale producers as costs are mostly in the form of voluntary whihc is very important and usefule for small scale farmers. b) Promote short supply chains and local market development because farmers already have quite a lot of access to internet , mobile phones so short supply chains will be very good. c) Strengthen international cooperation to exchange experiences, study and improving human resources d) More local enterprises, including local processors and retailers should be invited and benefit from organic projects. These are the powerful engines of small organic producers. Farmers should learn how to do business so they could control their own enterprise and do not depend on traders anymore. e) E. Building resilience to vulnerabilities, shocks and stress a) Farmers used to grow different varieties for different purposes. b) Farmers not only check the production, but they also check the cultural use and diet. c) Varieties are being used for medicinal purposes and we shou Скрыть
