Нигерия - Этап 2 NIGERIA AGRICULTURAL COMMODITY VALUE CHAINS FOOD SYSTEM SUMMIT DIALOGUE Main findings The current socio-economic trends are the major drivers of the Nigerian food system; the country is facing major challenges, including but not limited to a high population growth, a high number of people living in extreme poverty, unprecedented urbanisation, and thus, agriculture is faced with an abysmally low productivity. Public investments in the agricultural sector are low, resulting in poor rural infrastructure such as access roads, storage facilities and processing facilities. There are also poor or uncoordinated agricultural services like advisory services, poor access to inputs and fin... Подробнееance. There are also very weak institutions, poor and uncoordinated links between research and practice, low literacy and poor market access and information, usually with high transaction costs and high investment risks. The major findings of the dialogue include but not limited to the following: 1. Nigeria has an opportunity to reshape its food systems to sustainably impact on its national development aspirations by putting in place strong and proactive national development plans with achievable targets and timelines, through heavy public investments in operational enabling environment, infrastructure and implementation policies. 2. Nigeria needs to coordinate and strengthen our major Value Chains to make them sustainably functional, stable and purposefully apolitical by evolving support programs and provision of needed information and data, and matchmaking services through a national support unit. 3. We need a matchmaking service of private capital and other partners with agricultural know-how to create access to micro-finance for young and/or female entrepreneurs, in combination with business coaching, advisory services 4. We need to develop a technical and vocational training for the youth and women, that can be linked to major value chains and/or processors and also having access to finance, which can lead to the promotion of responsible investment in the sector, thus creating decent jobs. 5. Nigeria needs to embark on public awareness raising and knowledge improvement on healthy diets; (public and private) investments in domestic agricultural production and processing capacities to improve the production of food and cash crops and reduce food losses 6. We need to improve on sharing of data and information as well as technical know-how/technologies on climate change impacts and adaptation strategies for value chain actors. 7. We need a concerted and coordinated national plan and actions to curb insecurity in and around the country to allow productive agricultural activity that would increase quality and quantity of food for all in a sustainable manner 8. Nigeria needs to urgently increase it’s funding to research and development 9. Environmental degradation, especially loss of biodiversity and soil fertility must be reversed in a sustainable manner, taking regenerative agriculture into cognisance to decrease carbon emission and greenhouse gas emission within a specific time frame. 10. Nigeria needs a bold and decisive investment into irrigation agriculture and target mechanization of major field operations While the above will take a long gestation period, it is necessary to, as a matter of urgency, to strategize by taking immediate actions. The following are specific steps recommended to begin the transformation of our food systems: • Ensure speedy passage of the Right to Food Bill • Increase budgetary allocations to the agricultural sector to meet Mobuto declaration target of budgeting 10% of the total annual budget • Ensure sustainable general public security to allow agricultural production activities return to normalcy • Promote the production, access to and utilization of nutritious indigenous foods in a sustainable way. • Ensure enforcement of extant rules by relevant regulatory authorities responsible for the organization and coordination on safety and quality assurance on food. • Design and engage in Vigorous sensitization campaigns on food safety • Improve rail transport system in the country to address challenges of transportation of farm produce. • Create awareness, advocate for, and educate on safe and healthy food consumption • develop Farmers capacity to embrace market-driven production to enhance income and purchasing power • Strengthen linkages between research, policy, and practice • Enforce existing regulation and sanction for environmental degradation • Reposition and strengthen agricultural research institutes. • Establish a Centre of Excellence for Regenerative Agriculture and restoration of ecosystems. • Create and strengthen policies and legislation on protection of the Agricultural Ecosystem enforced • There should be more youth and women engaged in Agriculture by raising level of agricultural mechanization • Develop Strategies aimed at implementing existing gender policies in Nigeria should be put in place. • Encourage and support Private sector to work with public extension outfit to incorporate extension service as an after sales package • Mainstream nutrition into every agricultural programme and education system • There should be massive public enlightenment on the reality of climate change, its causes and effects on agriculture • There must be timely generation and dissemination of weather forecasts and advisories in the language and channels available to local farmers Скрыть Направления деятельности: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Ключевые слова: Data & Evidence, Environment and Climate, Finance, Governance, Human rights, Innovation, Policy, Trade-offs, Women & Youth Empowerment
Нигерия - Этап 2 NIGERIA AGRICULTURAL COMMODITY VALUE CHAINS FOOD SYSTEM SUMMIT DIALOGUE Major focus The global problem of food scarcity is exacerbated by the constant increase in population growth, with no complimenting increase in the output of agricultural produce. Over the years it has become a major focus of most governments, including Nigeria, to provide enough food for the citizenry which will in-turn curb the series of social discord that could emerge if a hunger-crisis breaks out, and create an enabling atmosphere for strategic economic development by providing the working population with one of the most important physiological needs. The rapid globalization of the Agricultural marke... Подробнееts has led to the generation of new production and distribution systems, as well as new consumption patterns. One of the objectives of modern agriculture is to reduce to the barest minimum the problems associated with agricultural loss, wastages and output underutilization by ensuring an efficient optimization of all the linkages between the producer and final consumer through the “Value-Chain” concept. The dialogue was an exploration of the Nigeria Food Systems, guided by the Five Action Tracks of the UN Food Systems Summit. The participants, broken into groups based on these Action Tracks, engaged in fruitful and deliberate discourse on our food systems, especially how the system functions, who the major actors, what are the country’s potentials, weakness/vulnerabilities/challenges and what needs to be done urgently to transform or address these issues so that the system can be able to provide, in a sustainable manner, enough quantities and qualities of food that is nutritious, affordable, taking into consideration gender balancing, sustainability and can be all inclusive. From the discussions held, it was generally noted that the Nigeria Food system faces a lot of challenges that make it very difficult to provide food that is affordable, sustainable, nutritious and safe in the right quantity and quality for all citizens. The food systems in the country are faced with heavy post-harvest losses, both at farm level, storage and processing levels. There is also serious food price instability that makes quality food inaccessible to majority of Nigerians in a sustainable way. A sporadic and longer period of insecurity across the country has also made agricultural activity unpredictable, with attendant loss of productive time and resources. The dialogue also focused on food safety, nutrition, youth involvement and gender mainstreaming across all value chain activities. Climate change is real and has serious repercussion on the Nigerian agriculture, thus the dialogue also deliberated serious on irrigation potentials and resourceful intervention in this regard. Environmental degradation and pollution have rendered our soils unproductive, with attendant decline in productivity. Thus a lot of discussion on regenerative and/or conservation agriculture was highly discussed as potential solutions to our declining soil fertility and attaining sustainable and functional food systems. Nutrition has featured strongly across the groups; introduction and sensitization on nutrient dense crops were discussed and recommended. The dialogue also focused on transformation the food systems towards mechanization as a means to rejuvenate and inject intensification towards raising productivity in a sustainable manner.

Strand 2 – Social Impact of Natural Disaster on vulnerable groups There is already a lot of food in Fiji since the rural populations grow food, the urban and peri urban areas depend on these rural supplies. Need to address how rural farmers can be supported to get their produce in a timely manner to the populations that can afford them. Intervention required is how to make it affordable without compromising affordability for anyone along the food system chain- from producer to consumer. Empower communities to reduce the idea on food/other dependency from government subsidies which may hinder exploring traditional practices. How can we support existing social protection systems to decrease these dependencies - perhaps improve our financial literacy at rural settings such as cash transfer strategy and other forms of assistance.

Participants alerted of a potential risk of genetic modification, which could affect our biodiversity or reduce the national flora genetic pool since they tend to be more adaptable. Strand 2 – Social Impact of Natural Disaster on vulnerable groups Government response is to ensure food security as well as nutrition and Ministry of Health is working with NDMO and local food industries to incorporate package nutrient foods in the food basket using local foods. The traditional ‘solesolevaki’ system should be encouraged especially with the recent migration of people back to rural areas. Educate and empower community health workers on food and nutrition knowledge. Invest on online/digital infrastructure by working with private sector which can assist in transporting local produce to markets. Empower women on locally food production and processing. Important to include women and youth in all solutions and provide resources to integrate such activities into Fiji’s ongoing employment and disaster mitigation and response plans and activities. Some organisations in the Private Sector that have empowered communities and women groups to add value to their Agriculture and Fisheries products. These communities have vulnerable people including women, those with disabilities and marginalised groups as well. We could learn a lot of lessons and best practices and see how we can replicate them at different levels and sections of our communities. Ensure all people have home gardens - supply seeds/seedlings to all households. At the community level engagement - iTaukei Affairs to have arrangements within villages for communal plantings collectively worked. Fiji need to progress the Fiji Policy on Food and Nutrition Security which is inclusive between government, academia, private sector, CSOs NGOs FBOs and community settings, to address some of these issues. Strand 3 - Environmental Impact of Natural Disaster on vulnerable groups Food System transformation should consider the Fijian traditional Crop and Fisheries calendar and adjusted it to the current circumstances. This would ensure all year round harvesting despite effects of disaster. Better land conservation practices and enhancing traditional varieties and knowledge together with the use of resilient crop varieties and livestock breeds were mentioned. After a disaster, traditional knowledge on processing may help to make people more resilient, but skills need to be strengthened. Climate smart practices and technologies need to be promoted and adopted, with more investment in soil improvement and conservation. If we keep it healthy, it will mean communities do not need to clear more land and deforestation will decrease. We need to ensure that women are part of the discussions, dialogue, and solutions. So better processes are needed for the inclusion of women, and other marginalized groups. Policies should aim to strengthen villages system, people lost their jobs and are coming back to the villages where better services (education & health, infrastructure and others) are needed. Information/Communication and digital tools can play a role here; linkages to markets, inputs etc. There is a need to look at food systems and disasters/shocks through an intersectional lens, as our responses will need to operate at that level. Need to re-focus food summit on people and emphasise collaboration between stakeholders.

Фиджи - Этап 2 Action Track 5 National Dialogue on Building Resilience to Vulnerability, Shocks and Stress Main findings Strand 1 - Economic Impact of Natural Disaster on vulnerable groups Participants identified many different impacts, including limited input supply and those related to movement restrictions affecting incomes, food distribution and purchasing and thus consumption. This may increase reliance on imported food and local expenditures. In order to allow farmers to make viable decisions about their investments more data needed, as who grows what, where, and what and soil information. Same situation for ocean data, including salinity and pH to identify which native fish species are effected and how th... Подробнееis in turn affects the supply to communities that rely on it for food and livelihood. Involvement of women and youth in agriculture and fisheries farming is still low. In order to minimise economic impacts that affect exports and economy, some new technologies were discussed, as the use of a new app on Pacific Pest Pacific Pests, Pathogens and Weeds and the use of drones for agriculture. A comprehensive view considering the whole value chain is needed, engaging the communities and aiming at moving from subsistence to commercial farming. Capacities of extension officers need to be strengthened, including environmental friendly practices and organic methods. Among main barriers limiting the economic resilience of the food system in Fiji were mentioned legislations and regulations (aquaculture policy is missing); lack of tailor-made disaster and climate resilience plans for specific communities; funding availability; lack of opportunities for female market vendors/farmers on trainings and capacity building in their villages/districts and limited facilities for storing and processing food locally. Strand 2 – Social Resilience (producing broad based benefits for all people) CV19 has put unprecedented stress on Fiji’s food systems disrupting livelihoods and threatening many people’s access to food and income. The informal settlements are particularly vulnerable because the majority lack social protection and have little or lost access to productive assets and health care. Low- and middle-income families could not afford high food costs (especially fruits, vegetables and root crops) after disaster, instead they use alternatives such as canned or frozen foods. This in turn reduces their access to healthy, safe and diverse diet thus increasing prevalence of malnutrition among vulnerable populations. Internal migration on social dynamics on rural & urban drift is a norm in Fiji however, CV19 has seen many people, especially the youth moving back to their villages due to loss of jobs. Barriers that limit greater social resilience in our food systems include lack of infrastructure, data and specialized capacity and stakeholders working in silos. Technical expertise and support in country particularly in information management on emerging vulnerabilities within existing vulnerable groups in communities. Strand 3 - Environmental Impact of Natural Disaster on vulnerable groups The discussion found that natural disasters have environmental impacts that affects agricultural production in terms of quantity and quality. Some examples mentioned included heavy rainfalls, sudden changes in temperature etc. that can severely affect water and soil, essential elements for crops and livestock. Fisheries are also affected, impacts on coral reefs, mangroves were specifically mentioned. Natural disasters combined with deforestation and poor land use practice are resulting in an increase in invasive species, more resilient than native ones, and thus affecting the productivity of the food system. Organic options are not so popular after a disaster as other quickest options that are not necessarily the best solution are prioritised. A good example of integrated farming, mixing agriculture and fisheries farming (an example of combining tilapia with ducks in Fiji where poultry birds provide for the fertilizing algae in the tilapia pond), was explained and recommended to be scaled up. Hydroponic agriculture in green houses was also discussed, highlighting the need for funding the high cost involved and capacity building. We need to be building management systems that are responsive and can adapt to change, and new shocks. The inadequate inclusion of women in the climate change/ building of resilience in the food systems space (including fisheries) was raised by some participants. Some barriers limiting greater environmental resilience in the food system were not enough focus on nature-based solutions that enhance environmental systems on which food systems depend; lack of understanding of soil and how to adapt crops to different soil types, a situation that deteriorate with the increase of natural disaster and chemicals being used; and scarce funding to better carry out the work needed and implement policies and strategies. Dissemination of information to farmers and fishers from the ministries and vice versa should be easier if they are registered under MOA and MOF. This would help with market information technical assistance, financing instruments and others.

Фиджи - Этап 2 Action Track 5 National Dialogue on Building Resilience to Vulnerability, Shocks and Stress Major focus The Chairperson of AT5 briefly presented on the Fiji Food System Dialogue elaborating on what is expected from today’s discussion on AT5 before the floor was given to the presenters. Strand 1: Economic Impact of Natural Disaster on vulnerable groups (Climate Change Unit, Ministry of Economy) Almost half of those living below the poverty line rely on agriculture for at least part of their income, compared to a quarter of people above the poverty line. Around 64,500 Fiji households (37 percent) derive some form of income from agriculture, approximately 8 percent of GDP (2015 GDP). The climate ... Подробнееchange-related losses in agricultural productivity could lead to economic losses of 2–3 percent of Fiji’s GDP in the future. Natural disasters caused loss of lives and damages to infrastructure, livestock, and agriculture totally up to F$170 million, F$100 million and F$194.9 million, respectively. TC Winston destroyed crops on a large scale and compromised the livelihoods of almost 60 percent of Fiji’s population with damages amounting to F$2 billion, or 20 percent of GDP. Estimated F$14 million worth of investment is needed to climate proof Fiji’s agriculture sector from a total of F$9,272 million as estimated for a resilient Fijian economy. Climate Smart Agriculture which transforms and re-orientates agricultural systems to support food security. Disaster preparedness efforts and strengthening the resilience of farmers by encouraging the diversification of agricultural produce for subsistence consumption and market sales, improve financial literacy and collaborate with the private sector. Development of an affordable parametric and weather index-based climate risk insurance targeted at the agriculture, fisheries, retail and tourism sectors. Strand 2: Social Impact of Natural Disasters on vulnerable groups (Social Welfare, Ministry of Women, Children and Poverty Alleviation) Some of the psychosocial impacts for vulnerable persons were mentioned as older persons more reluctant to leave home, suffering more chronic medical/psychiatric conditions and increase risk of abuse. Persons with physical/mental disabilities may not search for help because of stigma, abandoned by their families and open for verbal and physical abuse. Children may feel anxiety and distress, changes in school performance etc. Women may give birth in unsafe places, domestic violence, etc. Homeless - Limited capacity to find shelter, scarce support within the community, high prevalence of mental illness and physical illness etc. Possible solutions to these impacts are related to access to resources and protection against abuse and exploitation; medical and psychosocial interventions, education and support of care givers; ensure provision of basic and specific needs (young children, pregnant, lactating mothers, homeless people etc.) and safety, if necessary in separate facilities in Evacuation Centers. Strand 3: Environmental impact of Natural Disasters on vulnerable groups: (Ministry of Agriculture) Future climate predictions for Fiji include temperature will continue to increase with more very hot days, changing rainfall patterns, more extreme rainfall days, less frequent but more intense tropical cyclones, sea level will continue to rise. Climate change affect crop production since most crops are seasonal, affects pest outbreaks, limited diversity, crop yields (rice productivity declines 10% with every 1⁰ C increase in temperature), farm income and economy. In order to build a resilient agriculture system, the Ministry of Agriculture is working on policies, plans and strategies, plant breeding and crop improvement, strengthening gene pool conservation, promoting sustainable land management practices, introducing resilient crop varieties, collaboration with international/regional Institution, traditional varieties & knowledge, review package of practices, tissue culture lab and crop modelling for climate change.

The doubts around this issue revolved around: • Are we talking about consumers who have a greater sensitivity to social and environmental issues, or are we dealing with consumers who are not so aware of these aspects and instead their preferences when buying are based on other reasons such as price? • Do consumers who value a certified product really know the conditions surrounding such production? • Is the informed consumer aware of the conditions surrounding production? Are they willing ... Подробнееto assume part of the costs and / or financial burdens that the farmer must bear in his activity?

The concept of shared responsibility is essential to advance the sustainability of agriculture Positioning the concept of shared responsibility is necessary to avoid that all the onus that sustainability demands falls on the farmer, and is shared throughout the value chain, particularly when it comes to export products dependent on private certifications or policies such as the Green Deal of the European Union. 2. Pri... Подробнееvate certifications must recognize the geographic and production characteristics of Latin America The requirements established in private certifications must (i) be the product of a dialogue between the entire value chain, (ii) be based on science and technique, and (iii) pay special attention to production conditions in Latin America, both in terms of the existence of pests and diseases, as in its geography. 3. Consumers must understand the conditions around food production in Latin America Today consumers are more and better informed, and prefer to purchase food produced with certified socio-environmental standards, for this reason it is necessary to sensitize them so that they can dimension food production in all its complexity, especially the conditions imposed by tropical climates.

Regulatory systems must be updated to promote and facilitate the adoption of the SDGs Some of the regulatory frameworks in Latin America must be modernized in light of compliance with the Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs, they must also encourage the use of environmentally friendly technologies, prioritize scientific and technical data over public perceptions and be designed with regulatory criteria that are regionally harmonized. The ... Подробнееmodernization of laws under these approaches will positively impact better access to export markets, as well as greater traceability of the correct use of technologies. 2. It is essential to avoid over-regulation of agricultural technologies Access to technology is impaired by over-regulation and slow and bureaucratic regulations that result in limited access to technologies and, eventually, in the illegal flow of agricultural inputs. On the contrary, science-based and expeditious standards allow the arrival of agricultural production technologies, guarantee formal access, and more sustainable production. The European vision on the use of technologies does not take into account the needs of the main food producing countries, which translates into excessive regulations that ignore, as well as private (secondary) standards, the conditions of production and the geography of Latin America. This over-regulation may end up being imposed in the region with negative consequences by delaying the arrival and adoption of technologies or contributing to the illegal trade of the same. 3. Improving communication of the benefits of innovations and the science that supports them, and reducing the distance between academia and politics, are essential factors for a better understanding of scientific data in the definition of public policies. Although in Latin America academia and scientists have worked to help and inform about science being the basis for legislative and regulatory decisions, greater efforts are needed in this area. It is necessary for universities and academics to be more proactive and willing to take science out of the laboratories and take it into public policy definition scenarios. More effective communication to the general public (consumers) is also necessary for them to understand the use of technologies in agriculture and the science that demonstrates their safe use.

Migrate towards an agriculture based on sustainability that is perceived as part of the solution. The inefficiencies of agricultural production can be solved through the integration and correct use of new and existing technologies, such as drones, NBTs, and precision agriculture, which can be measured by indicators: carbon footprint, efficiency in the use of water, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium. This effort must be valued by the value chain that goes from ... Подробнееthe producer, the industry and the consumer, so that it can be consolidated. An integrated, articulated agriculture interconnected in sustainability will be a type of production that can evolve towards continuous improvement with measurable indicators. An integrated system also allows the triple helix, academy-industry-government, to provide solutions on a common goal, which is sustainable production. This requires a validator that allows integrating the system and a value proposition. a. Validator or independent agent For the small and medium farmer to be able to access the main markets and for their effort to be recognized on the basis of sustainability, a dialogue and an alliance with the large marketers, the value chain, and agricultural producers is necessary. This requires that neutral institutions such as IICA have the capacity to bring large buyers to the same table, with small and medium farmers in a dialogue where neutral institutions balance their forces in the disproportion between small farmers / large traders. This mechanism makes it possible to provide sustainable solutions and strengthen the system linked to the triple helix (academy-industry-government) with a view to developing standards and practices that avoid over-regulation, allow economic access to technologies, and recognize the associated value to sustainability by the production chain. b. A value proposition with organized farmers, digital platforms with indicators and recognition of sustainability. It is essential that farmers organize themselves into associations, cooperatives or similar organizations. The consolidation of agricultural producers’ associations should be promoted as the tool through which they can be seen, heard and have the strength and representativeness necessary to work with economic agents (government, market, academia, etc.) There must be a connection of the system through public-private-social digital platforms in favor of sustainable agriculture and having sustainability indicators recognized throughout the chain. 2. It is essential to avoid over-regulation of agricultural technologies Access to technology is impaired by over-regulation and slow and bureaucratic regulations that result in limited access to technologies and, eventually, in the illegal flow of agricultural inputs. On the contrary, science-based and expeditious standards allow the arrival of agricultural production technologies, guarantee formal access, and more sustainable production.

It is necessary to migrate towards an efficient and comprehensive agriculture based on sustainability that is not defined based on the production system: conventional, organic, hydroponic, ecological, etc. and focus on producing in a sustainable way with the integration of the best possible practices. 2. Small farmers must have greater access to new technologies, particularly information technologies (Apps, GPS, etc.), and maintain over time the adoption of technologies with indicators that allow evaluating their benefits. 3. Technical assistance programs should be strengthened with the par... Подробнееticipation of academia, governments and large producers with knowledge to share with the small ones. They should include more effective communication about the benefits of new technologies so that farmers can understand, adopt and use them appropriately. 4. A mediating entity can facilitate the transition and implementation of a more sustainable agriculture, connecting producers, marketers, governments and academia to apply sustainable technologies and practices that are valued by consumers. 5. It is necessary to update regulations and harmonize regulatory criteria at the regional level. In addition to science-based regulations, a positive political will is required in favor of the adoption of new technologies. 6. The academic and scientific community must play a more leading role in discussions for decision-making by governments and congresses. Many decisions about technology adoption are made under pressure from public opinion, based on fear, not science. 7. Private certifications in their objective of advancing towards sustainability ignore and minimize the socio-economic context and geographical conditions of the tropical climates of Latin America. As a result, they require production conditions far removed from the reality of Latin American fields, particularly in the control of pests, weeds and diseases.

Currently some of the difficulties faced by the adoption of new technologies by farmers in Latin America are: • Over-regulation or outdated legislation • Lack of confidence in science and in the scientific data that support new technologies • The absen... Подробнееce of suitable mechanisms to transfer technologies particularly to small / medium farmers. • The educational lag and difficulties of access to information technologies of small farmers. How to overcome these obstacles and move forward with actions that allow the adoption of more sustainable technologies was the challenge we raised in this Dialogue, along with another challenge faced by farmers in Latin America who export their products: the official and private obstacles that are imposed in international trade through private certifications or public policies that ignore the particularities of production in Latin America. The participants in this dialogue discussed these issues in three debate rooms. The main proposals are set out below.

Независимый Диалог Improving Child Nutrition in Nigeria through Food System actions Местоположение: Нигерия Area of divergence (1)Some stakeholders perceive that the targeting of school-aged children and/or provision of school meals is not a cost-effective or efficient way to improve nutrition. Such stakeholders noted that meals served by the programme were sometimes of poor quality, programme costs did not appear sustainable, and school feeding was disregarding (2) Some key stakeholders perceive that certain foods that are widely accepted and are part of the food culture, including instant noodles, should be mandatorily fortified to increase the reach of fortified products and consequently increase micronutrient cove... Подробнееrage. Other stakeholders considered instant noodles to be an unhealthy food and highlighted that there is no point mandating fortification for a product that you would like people to consume less of. (3) It was emphasized that establishing nutrient and ingredient standards for food products targeted at children, around which all stakeholders can converge, will be crucial for decision making around specific products (4) The cost of doing business in Nigeria has a direct implication on the cost of nutritious foods. Compliance with food and labelling standards can increase the costs of doing business and make products more expensive, leading to reduced demand, consequent defaulting by the private sector in a bid to reduce costs, and conflicts between the private sector and regulatory agencies. Costs associated with compliance with improved standards can be managed if most of the raw materials used by the private sector are locally sourced at lower costs. Hence, more efficient production and backward integration need to be prioritized, the responsibility of parents to their children. (5) It was highlighted that school feeding is a global intervention to improve the nutrition of school children and is being implemented in 161 countries across all income levels. Hence, the government should identify innovative financing to sustain the programme and improve the quality of meals. (6) Traditional food culture is not very compatible with millennial and digital parents and employed women, leading to a loss of knowledge about traditional foods and how to prepare them, and an increase in the demand for convenience foods. (7) There is aspirational food consumption towards foods that can be classified as unhealthy, due to modernization, urbanization, economic development, and market globalization. To be effective, therefore, nutrition education must better understand attitudes, beliefs, preferences, cultural factors, market and product factors, and economic factors. This understanding should then be harnessed to inspire, motivate, and enable people to change behaviour, using interdisciplinary methods across the fields of health education, psychology, and sociology, among other fields.
