Theme 1, Group 1.1 Integrating food systems transformation into urban and territorial governance and planning In light of the group discussions’ vision, i.e. that “Multi-level food governance mechanisms are established and local governments are recognized and supported as active key players for promoting food systems transformation”, the group identified a number of actions that are necessary to better move towards the vision: National frameworks that legally, financially and institutionally make greater action at local level possible Capacity building of local actors once these resource... Подробнееs become available An international framework that ensures national level accountability (to local level action) Joined up climate change (CC) and food policies at global level (i.e. get food on the CC agenda) Mechanisms within food policy councils (FPC) that ensure participation (of farmers for example) Investment in trans-local (city-to-city) alliances It was also noted that the private sector has a strong impact on the food environment. The question is: how to best engage with it? All agreed that a distinction needs to be made between different private sector actors (global, national, local) and that a different approach is needed depending on the actors involved. Organizations were not specific as to their contributions. There was a general consensus on the need to build local-level capacity, advocate for changes in legislation and finance streams at national level, and set up effective participatory mechanisms within FPCs. Indicators of success were briefly discussed and these included “technical” indicators, such as levels of waste recycled/reduced, diet-related indicators, and number of outlets that sell local product. In addition to this, it was noted that it will be important to ensure the sustainability of actions over time. Скрыть
