The National Independent Dialogue on Food Systems Summit mainly focused on identifying priority issues from the solution clusters of the action tracks which are well-matched for the context of our country and to share any additional recommendation for the improvement of the overall food system. By organizing this Dialogue also was given a chance to participants to deliver their voice and share their thoughts on improving food systems from local to the national level in a country, more importantly, encouraged them that they will play the main role in order to the success of Summit and to reach ...

Participants’ vision mostly converged on the actions to be undertaken to tackle the transition to more sustainable and healthier consumption patterns. Discussions mainly focused on the roles and responsibilities of different players, especially from government, industry and research sectors, agreeing on the need of a professional figure linking them all in order to make the process efficient and connected. Minor divergences were remarked on the participation and approach of the three countries to the action. In particular, Brazilian paradox consists in being one of the biggest food exporters... Подробнее, but experiencing food insecurity. Public opinion seems sensitive to the topic and the high participation to this dialogue is one of the proofs. Research organizations and young entrepreneurs put high attention on alternative food, relations between producers and consumers, and cost control. South Korean awareness about sustainable consumption seems not to have reached yet a level preventing big amounts of food waste. Government initiatives are more intended to recycle rather than prevention, while international organizations are mostly working with the private sector to accelerate the attention shift through new technologies. However, in a top-down country stronger action of the government in terms of regulations is needed to guide consumers’ behavior. In Switzerland, healthy nutrition seems to be a major land for engagement of the private sector and population. Alternative food is one of the major trends in the bottom-up initiatives characterizing Swiss approach. Cooperation between academia and industry aims to bring new innovative solutions for healthier nutrition. However, “good food” is still associated with high costs and wealthy consumers. The issue requires government support and intervention for higher inclusivity and success of the initiatives. Скрыть

The World Food System Center highlighted the potential in connecting partners from different parts of the world. The organization intends to create a network of researchers to share data and information aiming at solving problems in the food system with the support of scientists and industry and training new specialists. Promoting education against food waste and changing consumer’s behaviour are some of the approaches presented by the World Food Program. For instance, South Korean restaurants engaged in a pilot initiative achieved 30% reduction in food loss per client. The Good Food Institu... Подробнееte in Brazil supports innovative solutions on food production and advocates for public policies. Their approach is based on plant-based solutions, cultivated meat and fermentation processes, aligned with the Swiss startup product by Planted, which is already available in the market. Sustainable nutrition should support food safety, observe social impacts, reduce climate impacts, implement regenerative agriculture and circular solutions. Actions must be global and not only local, as the supply chains generate effects in planetary scale. The vision to change and improve food systems should be clear and transcend the interest of individual players. Leadership, management, teamwork, collaboration should be embodied through a clear stewardship to move forward. Скрыть

Speakers and participants agreed that steady public policies are essential to support a successful transformation of food systems while providing food security. Different actors should think together and provide solutions that can tackle the challenges of a complex system. Governments, academia, private sector and civil society should take actions together to reduce CO2 emissions, reduce food waste, secure access to healthy food, preserve biodiversity, water and make production more sustainable. Food waste was one of the main discussion topics and it can be addressed by education campaigns or ... Подробнееthe use of new technologies. In South Korea, education promotion to change consumer’s behaviour has been successful in reducing food waste, also involving a new approach in restaurants. New technologies have been used to monitor and change user behaviour. In Brazil, it’s necessary to implement better monitoring solutions and foster research to generate reliable data and indicators. The country also faces a paradox: while it’s one of the biggest food producers in the world, food insecurity has been increasing again in the last years, after a period of successful public policies to reduce hunger. Switzerland is investing resources to implement solutions developed in the labs. Partnerships between universities and the industry aim at reducing food waste, combating obesity and improving crops, based on international cooperation through a growthing network of specialists. Potential solutions also include plant-based proteins, certifications, alternatives to packaging, recycling and consumer trust building. The efficiency increase of food production must take into account social aspects. Small-scale production, when combined with innovative technologies, may provide positive impact on the quality of food and sustainability. Скрыть

The UN Environment Programme estimates that 931 million tonnes of food waste were generated in 2019, 61% of which came from households, 26% from foodservice and 13% from retail. That means that as much as 17% of total global food production is never consumed. Household per capita food waste generation is found to be broadly similar across country income groups, suggesting that actions to tackle food waste are equally relevant in higher, upper and lower-middle-income countries. The lack of education in this field generates confusion among consumers regarding recycling and resource circulation c... Подробнееoncepts. Other impacts on sustainability derive from agricultural production systems, causing deforestation, pollution, contamination and loss of biodiversity. Innovation also plays an essential role in the AgriFood production chain, bringing new solutions to sustainability from farming to restaurants and consumers' homes. Education and innovation are the keys to building a resource circulating society. This independent dialogue aimed to inspire solutions oriented to grow awareness, modify consumers’ behavior and propose new practices for a transition to a more sustainable production and consumption. Dots between Brazil, South Korea and Switzerland were connected by sharing current initiatives and discussing how they could vehicle the transformation in different cultural and social contexts. Our dialogue focused on topics of high importance for our network, whose goal is to establish cooperation in education, research and innovation between Switzerland the world. ● Collaborative approach: The power of collaboration across the Private Sector, Government, Media and NGOs is key to systematically addressing this issue, creating shared value and convincing stakeholders that they can be part of this change. What are the current status and leading sectors in the specific countries? ● Current initiatives: what are the current initiatives in place at the interface between sectors? How to shift consumers’ behavior, market and industry practices and transform initiatives from exception to standard at local level? ● Cross-borders approach: food waste prevention and reduction is an issue to be tackled by joining forces worldwide. Initiatives aimed at reaching this goal are effective if independent or adaptable to geolocations and wealth conditions. What is still missing? How to build this bridge? ● Role of technology: when does technology start playing a fundamental role? Can innovative food provide viable alternatives to industry standards? How can it be involved in the education of consumers considering different age ranges, cultural background, accessibility, etc? Скрыть

Подробнееf Indigenous Peoples is not guaranteed as well their rights to their lands and waters. Many of the technologies and indigenous knowledge is preserved within Indigenous Peoples territories and with the daily use of their language and this is how they pass the knowledge from one generation to other. Thus, it becomes imperative to respect their right to self-determination, lands and waters. The discussion helped to define a workable and replicable new development model for integrating emerging science and technology (S&T) based solutions with Indigenous knowledge. The panelists discussed ongoing efforts and new ideas based on their experience in using S&T, especially E Earth Observation (EO) and ICT based tools for food security and food system transformation. It advocated the use of innovations to integrate indigenous knowledge and wisdom for better diet diversity, farming systems and planetary health, and use of Earth Observation and frontier technologies to investigate and integrate Indigenous knowledge for food and nutritional security. Discussion synthesis Track 5: It is of crucial importance to open dialogues about the transmission of knowledge among young peoples of indigenous communities. There is a key role of carrying out the analysis work from their ancestral knowledge but at the same time under the lens of the recovery of this knowledge by the indigenous peoples themselves, especially from the oldest wise peoples to the youth, under their praxis and their own cosmovision.

1. Outcome from Tracks 1 and 2: • It is recognized that ancestral knowledge is extensive and despite efforts to systematize it, there are still limitations that must be recognized, and deliberate conditions must be created to have policies and resources to incorporate it into food systems where western knowledge predominates. • The summit represents an opportunity to build to recognize the problems and how to implement the solutions that we are mostly familiar with. 2. Outcome from Tracks 3 and 4: Recommendations: Panel provided recommendations that may be useful for harvesting indigenous ...

Respecting Indigenous Peoples’ rights to self-determination is also crucial to advance to more equitable livelihoods and support their own processes to build and maintain more resilient communities. • Technology innovation —driven by geotagging, agrotagging, Earth observation, machine learning, and ICT-enabled citizen science, mapping new consumerism —which provides essential entry points for integrating the local knowledge and indigenous knowledge (I am not comfortable with the world intelligence, could you explain what do you mean?) for site-specific advisory, access to services/information that benefits the remote and smallholder farmers and consumers while safeguarding the environmental flows. • Involving and supporting Indigenous Peoples in the process of gathering data and evidence that supports the need to preserve their knowledge, lands, and waters. Those processes should also be led by Indigenous Peoples. • Implementation of low-cost technology solutions may be shared with indigenous populations to improve data quantity and quality. • Collaborative efforts focusing on resilience plans have the greatest benefits. • The availability of space-based data may be used to substantially improve such plans when combined with information from indigenous populations. • The frequency and availability of space-based data may aid indigenous populations in making better decisions about crop management/resilience. 3. Outcome from Track 5: The challenges posed by climate change and its consequent extreme events in the sustainability of food systems of indigenous peoples require establishing bridges between research in science and technology and traditional/ancestral knowledge and practices. These knowledges for years were able to sustain the rich and healthy diet of the indigenous peoples. However, today we observe tendencies towards deterioration. Through these spaces of dialogue, our aim was to listen openly about what indigenous peoples have to say; which builds the necessary complementarity and synergy between technological innovations and traditional practices, to face the current situation that indigenous peoples experience due to the weakening of their food systems.

A. Main Findings from Tracks 1 and 2: • It is recognized that ancestral knowledge is extensive and despite efforts to systematize it, there are still limitations that must be recognized, and deliberate conditions must be created to have policies and resources to incorporate it into food systems where western knowledge predominates. • The summit represents an opportunity to build to recognize the problems and how to implement the solutions that we are mostly familiar with. • Reflecting on the financing of the proposals and how to really get to the political side to make inclusive decision...

B. Main Findings from Tracks 3 and 4: Discussion results: Disasters are becoming more frequent with climate change and are a significant risk to food security – a risk that is only increasing due to global changes in climate. UN FAO recorded an increase in dollar-cost crop loss in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) from $8.8 Bn for the 2000-2007 time to $14 Bn for 2008-2015 (UN-FAO). Crop loss in Latin America and the Caribbean was estimated at $22 Bn for 2005-2015 (UN-FAO). While most of the present diets and farming practices prescribed by yield centric with few monocropping systems are far from the traditional knowledge and wisdom-later rely on the diversity of life, agrobiodiversity, nutrient-rich crops and food sovereignty. These risks need to be handled by understanding symbiotic relationship of 5 elements, the soil, water, air, flora, and fauna. Indigenous wisdom and rights on lands and waters are essential for future smart food and diet diversity, which is driven by indigenous knowledge in synch with emerging technologies. The Global Hub on Indigenous Peoples´ Food Systems recommends: 1. Guaranteeing the right to self-determination of Indigenous Peoples, rights to their lands and waters through policies and reforms will ensure that Indigenous Peoples could advance to more equitable livelihoods. Supporting `networks of Indigenous Peoples will also ensure they have a more active participation at policy level and to be included in the decision-making process. 2. Supporting increased biodiversity and implementing biocentric restoration centers. Resilience is strongly linked to biodiversity, so supporting indigenous communities to keep and restore their biodiversity is crucial not only for food security and nutrition but for life in general. One example of such initiatives is the Potato Park in Peru. 3. In natural systems, the production follows functions. There is an urgent need to leverage technology, diversity, and indigenous knowledge to restore the ecological sound food systems for healthy diets, sustainable living and planetary health. Technology is manured enough to make a difference which requires collective actions for system-level. transformation- it must combine resilience, conservation, and restoration with co-benefits. 4. There are two key drivers of technological innovations, the recent advances in earth observation systems and the increased use of mobile phones –90% of the precision decision making data comes from these two technologies. The transformation requires an “Inclusive Agroecosystems” where use of science, technology help to rich the producers-farmers, connect them to consumers through an institutional framework that uses the digital technologies, enormous agricultural research with the ecological framework - diversification of agriculture with indigenous knowledge and wisdom of the right mixer of crops, varieties, multi-purpose trees, livestock, and people to preserve soil health and biodiversity. Scaling such transformational changes in the food systems requires digital augmentation for collective action to interlink various systems-level solutions for inclusive development. 5. 50 years of Earth observation data coupled with local knowledge is a key to understand the impact of global climate change on food systems and indigenous people are the best stewards of climate balance. These efforts can benefit from space technologies, open data, and geo-intelligence linked with frontier technologies such as machine learning, 3-D printing, digital weather stations and the internet of things (IOTs). C. Main Findings from Track 5: Discussion results: This discussion section of the forum focused on Track 5: Building resilience to vulnerabilities, shocks, and stresses, which had the objective of generating inputs and insights on challenges posed by climate change and extreme weather events that may impact the food systems, as well as discussing current efforts, mechanisms, and ideas based on using S&T tools for building resilient agriculture with focus on indigenous community, according to the concept note for this dialogue. The panelists highlighted the importance of positioning ancestral knowledge and technology under decolonial visions and debates, especially considering our approach to the terms of food security and the difference that exists between food security and food sovereignty. Looking at these concepts integrating the indigenous perceptions and not only from our western perspectives is a challenge that we need to take towards achieving a real participatory dialogue.   Скрыть

The major focus included (a) comprehensive analysis, (b) addressing all five action tracks, and (c) linkages between the five action tracks with innovation lever of change. 1. Comprehensive analysis: Main topics covered: The Dialogue first highlighted the significance and importance of emerging technologies in the context of indigenous knowledge for food security. For example, Space data, in a sense, game-changers and it is indeed great to see the list of the benefits, as more data and information translate to actionable services, applications, policies, and decisions, this empowers us to crea... Подробнееte the future we want. However, there are still gaps we need to overcome. What hinders our collective progress is the lack of universal access to space assets and their associated benefits. We cannot leave Indigenous people behind. We must embrace them, and we must ensure their voices are heard. This is where the organizers aim to help bridge the divide. An integrated system approach, where we work collectively and leverage all available tools, to advance sustainable development has tremendous potential. By combining enduring knowledge from indigenous peoples with space assets, artificial intelligence, blockchain, citizen science, and other solutions, we maximize the prospects of delivering smart, more efficient, and sustainable agricultural practices for all. Indeed, achieving this outcome can deliver wide-ranging benefits transcending across all five action tracks of the summit. The 2021 Food Systems Summit is an opportunity to merge new technologies and solutions with the knowledge of rural people from across the world. 2. Addressing Tracks 1 and 2: Challenges, barriers, and policy Issues for integrating Indigenous knowledge/experiences to ensure access to healthy and nutritious food and adopt sustainable consumption patterns. Main topics covered: The panelists discussed their current efforts and case studies of grass-roots communities of Indigenous Peoples covering challenges, barriers and policy issues for Indigenous knowledge and scientific approaches to ensure access to healthy and nutritious food for all and adopt sustainable consumption patterns. 3. Addressing Tracks 3 and 4: Emerging S&T based solutions applicable for integrating Indigenous knowledge/experiences for food security. Main topics covered: • Indigenous community-based food security: A learning experience from Cree and Dene First nation Communities • Indigenous methods of food preparation as a viable means of achieving food security and nutrition in rural poor communities. • Development and implementation of programs that target food security using Indigenous knowledge and an intercultural perspective. • No action track can be achieved if the rights to lands and waters for indigenous peoples are not first guaranteed. • Game changers were proposed using a white paper written by the Global Hub on Indigenous Peoples Food Systems. 4. Addressing Track 5: Solutions for Sustainable and Resilient Food System Strategies and mechanisms for integrating Indigenous knowledge in building sustainable and resilient food system from vulnerabilities, shocks, and stresses. Main topics covered: The panelists provided insight into challenges posed by climate change and extreme weather events that may impact the food systems and discuss current efforts, mechanisms, and ideas to integrate Indigenous knowledge for building resilient and sustainable agriculture.

How to best deal with irrigation issues was an exciting field of divergence. Although for most of the dialogue, farmers and food producers spoke about modernizing practices, they also acknowledged the high cost of modern farming. As a solution, a farmer said about using traditional and older methods of irrigations. Some farmers also discussed how current agricultural practices favor more prominent landowners and not small-scale farmers. A need for comprehensive land reform was discussed as well as being able to put as much land into food production service. Some farmers also asked that Nigeria...

Participants agreed to share knowledge and resources surrounding better agricultural processes. · Need for land reform and agricultural supports in terms of loans, credit, and price support. . Policy that regulates market prices. · Access to markets via transportation (construction of good roads) and ways to process food while it is fresh · Price stabilization and a greater share of profits from food processing · Start preparing for the next food crisis as a result of climate change or pandemics.

One of the main findings of the Dialogue is the need to provide agriculture support and training for small and medium-size farmers. This support should include facilitating training sessions on how to increase yields and soil tests. Many farmers and livestock producers shared skills, tips, and resources to manage their business better. Producers spoke about “old” ways of cultivation better suited to small plots of land, not too modern agriculture. One of the floated ideas is creating an app to “lease” machinery by the hour to facilitate harvest and cultivation. Farmers discussed the ne... Подробнееed for price transparency and better market access. As one farmer put it, “everyone thinks farming is easy just plant the seed” policymakers need to understand that farming requires more tools. Farmers also wanted to know which crops are best suited for their soil. Most farmers wanted to get in touch and communicate these lessons learned with their neighbors Another significant finding was the need to secure “soft loans” and credits. Many farmers spoke about receiving their inputs late and not being able to plant in time. In a particular case, the farmer was not able to grow cotton in time. Transportation issues also were mentioned, as was the lack of fuel. A third significant finding was the need for irrigation techniques and resources. Many farmers spoke about the need to manage water resources and the need to be prepared for climate disturbances such as prolonged droughts. Скрыть

Major focal points included land reform and access to land, loans and credits to farmers, transportation and irrigation issues, advancing cooperation and agricultural knowledge among farmers and food producers. Most producers and participants centered on the need to import less food (rice was an example cited), stakeholders mentioned population growth as a result of migration and births. Nigeria is on track to add eighty million inhabitants by 2030, adding stress to a foodshed already impacted by drought. Most stakeholders spoke about the previous year’s shortages and their inability to prod... Подробнееuce higher yields in their crops because of a lack of irrigation. At least one stakeholder discussed that the government should fund a Nigerian-based irrigation technology school. One participant mentioned how regardless of religious faith, all of the population was united in praying for rain. Thus, indirectly climate change was also discussed in the Dialogue Скрыть

The key area of divergence and trade-off was between using agroecological methods and guaranteeing yields for crops. Most farmers recognize that Nigeria is not producing enough food for its population and want to change that. Famers consider tradeoffs between farming methods tested and tried via their families or newer methods. There needs to be more communication between scholars and researchers involved in biodynamic food production and the actual farmers and cultivators.

As measures against insecurities suggestions include Government to fight against insecurity and make Nigeria free from security challenges. Also, improving evaluation and monitoring programs, Providing Insurance for farmers, and consistent policy.
