3Brief Report2017

85 city delegations and more than 300 people met in Valencia on the 3rd Annual Gathering of the Milan Pact. Anticipation was high and results exceeded expectations. Milan Pact cities actively shared many experiences and common actions, as indicated in the map above, including:

• The number of signatory cities grows: as of January 2018, 163 cities from 62 countries around the world signed the Pact;

• 106 practices submitted through 2 editions of Milan Pact Awards with the support of Cariplo Foundation;

• 13 pilot cities engaged through an innovative framework with FAO to monitor progress related to the Milan Pact;

• regional networks in Europe, Africa and the United States of America;

• advocacy for the role of cities to achieve sustainable food systems advanced at global level (i.e. 2030 Agenda, New Urban Agenda, Paris Agreement etc.);

• cooperation projects and peer assistance to transfer food policy solutions among Pact cities.

In addition to the knowledge exchange between cities, participants in Valencia witnessed how the role of cities in relation to food systems and nutrition policies has grown and is being more and more acknowledged at national and international level. Governments and international organizations (FAO, WHO, UN-Habitat, G7, European Union) are now engaging with cities and city networks in the implementation of guidelines and strategies in fields of actions related to food policies. Awareness of this progress is reflected in the Valencia Appeal that calls for a more integrated approach between cities and other levels of government and that past, current and future efforts of cities be recognized in review of the implementation of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, the SDGs and New Urban Agenda (NUA).

Cities heard the motivating voices of other stakeholders from city food networks, civil society, the private sector and the research community around the world. Their energy and support is animating our Pact from the roots. We will continue to move forward with new actions, taking advantage of new opportunities, projects and initiatives to follow up from numerous connections and initiatives that evolved in Valencia.

Among these new initiatives, the launch of an Open Consultation with the purpose of activating a knowledge mobilization process and to help design the new strategy for the future of the Milan Pact.

Tel Aviv-Yafo will be 2018 MUFPP Annual Gathering host city, giving us the possibility to move our debate into another geographical area, remarkable for food innovation and for its high concentration of start up companies.

Milan Pact Signatory Cities (2017).


The role of cities in promoting sustainable food systems: enhancing food security and nutrition for healthy and equitable territories Moderator: Stephanie Loose, Ass. Human Settlement Officer at UNHABITAT, Nairobi

Key questions:

1. What was your city’s experience like in advancing a food systems approach to food and nutrition security?

2. Has your city developed any particular coordination mechanism(s) to bring its different departments around a food systems agenda as the Milan Pact encourages?

3. Which was the greatest challenge when implementing your strategy? What is the most important impact of your action?

Cities highlighted some of the challenges in incorporating food, agriculture, nutrition and sustainability into their strategies, such as: lack of specific responsibilities on health issues; constraints on the possibilities for cities to promote local products through public procurement and lack of collaboration across city department, lack of alignment of policies and programs that impact the food system. Those challenges limit the capacity to manage the entire food system. Many solutions and entry points were proposed and discussed, such as:

• School meals are key for many health promotion programs and are as well a powerful instrument to promote short food supply chains and revive connections with rural areas;

• To tackle obesity, malnutrition and NCDs, cities need to innovate and look for innovators teaming up with other cities, entrepreneurs, universities, civil society organizations, embracing a quadruple helix approach.

Many of the initiatives presented turned out to be multipurpose: the initial goal (for instance to promote healthier habits) had other positive side effects (i.e. strengthening environmental action).

5Brief Report2017

New Approaches to Food System: The Milan Pact and implementation of the New Urban Agenda, 2030 Agenda and SDGsModerator: Maruxa Cardama, Urban Adviser, Cities Alliance

Territorial governance of food systems is spelled out in the New Urban Agenda (NUA, Quito 2016) to promote sustainable urbanization called in SDG11. The bridge between food and cities (SDG 2 and 11) also links with all other SDGs as well as the NUA.

1. How do the SDGs and the NUA support your cities’ vision on food? Has your city started to integrate or localize the NUA and SDGs?

2. What do these agendas miss and how does the MUFPP help you fill those gaps? How does your city consider the territorial or multi-level approaches to food systems?

Discussants proposed the following strategies to turn the global Agenda into local actions:

• Adopting a system thinking approach to address the complexity of urban food systems, engaging a multi-level stakeholders model;

• Engaging CSOs to implement both bottom-up and top-down strategies, where each individual’s actions will contribute to create a sustainable food system;

• Collaborating horizontally and vertically reaching out to as many stakeholders as possible: private sector, communities, academics, institutions etc.

New Urban Agenda was reckoned to be a very powerful call to action and the Milan Pact offers the framework to implement sustainability and resiliency at local level. There are many challenges linked to national and international processes and cities are called to take action on SDG 2 and SDG 11.

MUFPP Monitoring Framework The MUFPP Monitoring Framework is one of the most important areas of collaboration between the Milan Pact and the FAO.

The participatory and consultative process to build the MUFPP monitoring framework started with two questionnaires sent to cities in 2016, their outcomes were presented during the 2nd Annual Gathering and Mayors Summit held at FAO’s Headquarters in Rome in 2016. The process moved forward from a long list of indicators to a shorter one that is now being developed with the involvement of a group of cities that provided preliminary feedback and expressed their willingness to participate in a pilot phase.

The monitoring framework is based on the six MUFPP work streams/categories for which different outcome areas are identified. For each of the 37 voluntary actions listed in the MUFPP framework for action, a set of 91 indicators was defined.The purpose of the MUFPP Monitoring Framework is to help cities build the knowledge and the evidence to formulate policies, prioritize interventions, target resources and advocate for extra funds from national governments and external donors.

Opening remarks by the Mayors of Valencia, Milan and by the Director General of FAO Joan Ribó, Mayor of Valencia, highlighted the need to ensure access to food to everybody: “It is in the hands of cities to reaffirm the right to healthy food for their citizens, it is in the hands of cities to educate to healthy food and to spur a change in the local food production”. “The MUFPP is the framework to help cities make their food systems more sustainable and to collaborate among themselves and with international agencies to ensure this right. In Valencia we set a three years working plan on sustainable healthy food for all, working at local level to create an international center for sustainable food systems”.

Giuseppe Sala, Mayor of Milan and chair of the MUFPP Steering committee, presented a “State of the Milan Pact”, with key numbers: 161 signatory cities, 2 years of networking and exchanges of ideas and solutions, over 100 good practices collected through the 2 editions of the Milan Pact Awards. “I am honored to say that expectations went well beyond the hopes of us all and momentum around the Pact is still considerably high”, Mayor Sala said, “The growing importance of cities is undeniable. More and more, our communities expect from us, rather than from national governments, the best solutions to their everyday challenges. This is calling us, Mayors, to greater responsibilities”.

José Graziano Da Silva, Director General of FAO, affirmed “We are supporting the work of the Milan Pact”, “Working on indicators with networks and cities, providing a useful instrument to measure achievements, monitoring exchanges, accelerating implementation food security policies, creating an urban nutrition platform to collect policies and good practices. FAO is also helping cities with the analysis of their food systems and elaboration of food strategies. We need to go beyond the dichotomy of urban and rural and continue exploring synergies between the Pact and the New Urban Agenda” .

7Brief Report2017

Strengthening the dialogue between cities, regions and national governments towards more sustainable urban food systems

Moderator: Bineta Diop, Founder and President of Femmes Africa Solidarité (FAS), Chairperson of the African Union Commission as Special Envoy on Women, Peace and Security.

The central theme of the Mayors’ debate was connecting actions that cities are taking to address food systems issues to other levels of governance. Exchange of practices and innovations among cities, as well as the importance of strengthening the role of urban food systems at regional, national and international levels were discussed. When a supportive environment is provided by national governments and international institutions, progresses can be achieved more rapidly. Discussant mayors focused on the importance of urban agriculture projects to tackle food security (Antananarivo, Dakar) and address issues such as integration of refugees (West Sacramento) or give an opportunity to people who lost their land because of city development and need to be relocated (Brazzaville).

Further discussed issues were also school meals programs as a way to promote healthy diets (Tegucigalpa), enhancement of city sustainability by innovating public procurement, consumption of more local and organic food and waste reduction (Copenhagen), fostering the connection with small producers and their conversion to more sustainable practices (Seoul), educating children to the value of food (Oss). Cities showed how they are mobilizing priorities around food systems in a variety of national and international networks of cities, embracing a multi-level governance approach.

Milan Pact Awards ceremony

One of the most important aims of the Milan Pact is to stimulate the exchange of practices and learning among signatory cities. To foster this collaboration the City of Milan together with Cariplo Foundation launched the Milan Pact Awards (MPA). Signatory cities can submit up to three practices or policies. Submissions are evaluated by an international committee of experts. There are two monetary prizes (Highest Score and Challenging Environment) and six Special Mentions, one for each of the categories of the framework for action of the Pact. Winning practices use their prizes to deliver peer-to-peer technical assistance and to transfer their good practice to another Milan Pact city. Until now, the two editions of the MPA collected 106 good practices from 59 cities worldwide.

Moderator: Thomas Forster, Milan Pact Awards Coordinator

Baltimore and Mexico City, winning cities of the 2016 MPA monetary prizes, presented their activities of peer-to-peer assistance to other cities carried out thanks to the prize.

MPA 2017 winning cities are:

Tel Aviv hosts Annual Gathering 2018Applying to the bid open to all signatory cities, the city of Tel Aviv-Yafo was selected by the MUFPP Steering Committee, to host the 4th Milan Pact Annual Gathering and Mayors’ Summit. The event will take place on 3-5 September 2018 and will be dedicated to Smart Cities and Fresh Food.

“Tel Aviv is a smart and innovative city and next MUFPP Gathering will occur during the Tel Aviv DLD Innovation Festival, giving participants the chance to attend both events”, said Mehereta Baruch-Ron, deputy mayor of Tel Aviv, “We are excited about hosting the Gathering and we look forward welcoming you all”.

Voice from Valencia 2017 hosting city“All the activities that took place in Valencia throughout 2017 in the context of the Annual Gathering and Mayors’ Summit of the Milan Pact and related issues on food security, nutrition, climate change, food waste reduction prompted the commitment of our citizens towards these fundamental issues. Valencia was in the spotlight for a year showing its interest on the major issues and challenges that the world is facing today.

Valencia managed to combine the international dimension of hosting a global event, with a multitude of local actions involving a variety of actors and institutions: hotels and restaurants, neighbourhood and consumers associations, municipal markets and the entire city government team, heartily participated in the calendar of activities. Hosting the Annual Gathering of the Milan Pact created a spirit of responsibility and collaboration within our city and among our citizens that we must preserve: a climate of commitment and diligence. We will continue the magnificent contacts, the collaboration with other cities and institutions and the relationship with small producers, large business companies, citizens, schools, associations etc. The assessment is very positive and encouraging for the future.” The Valencia Team.

11Brief Report2017

Press conference with Mayors of Valencia, Milan, DG FAO. Mayor of Valencia with its team.

Valencia common declarationEvery Gathering is the occasion for Milan Pact cities to share a common declaration that represents their collective voice. These declarations are drafted by the Steering Committee and can be used as advocacy documents to represent the Pact during events, conferences etc. On 2016, right after the 2nd Milan Pact Annual Gathering, the Habitat III Conference was about to start, the declaration was therefore titled “Letter from Rome to Quito” and was tightly connected to the New Urban Agenda about to be approved. In this Letter, Milan Pact cities claimed that urban food systems are at the center of sustainable development and a crucial part of the nexus of climate, energy, water and other natural resources, together with social inclusion and equity. They affirmed that cities have to be significantly involved in such a process as essential repositories of the coherence that need to be created among the New Urban Agenda and the Agenda 2030 around innovative actions. The Pact is a unique platform to work out such alignment and it is ready to serve these ambitious purposes.

On 2017 during the 3rd Annual Gathering, the “Valencia Appeal for Urgent Action on Food Systems” was released and signatory cities appealed to the United Nations Secretary General and to all UN agencies, to regional organizations, to national and local governments, to civil society, national and international development partners, the private sector and to all engaged citizens, to include sustainable and actionable initiatives in city region food systems that also strengthen urban rural linkages integral to sustainable development.


City’s food networks meeting Lead by: Ana Moragues, Cardiff University

The main goal of the meeting was to exchange current practices and establish linkages between city and city-region food networks. The meeting included presentations of 18 city networks that gather more than 500 cities and regions implementing urban food policies. Network representatives were asked to answer the following two key questions:

How can we ensure the long-term growth, impact and sustainability of city and city-region food initiatives? What would be of most value to your network in the context of growing international activity?

Eurocities Working Group Food meetingLead by: Anja De Cunto, Eurocities focal point WG Food

This WG stemmed in 2016 from the input of the MUFPP and gathers now 51 European cities. The Valencia meeting: confirmed Milan as chair of the WG for the 2018, worked on current funding opportunities available to cities on urban food (URBACT, INTERREG, Horizon2020); presented key results of the study on Food in Cities carried out by EUROCITIES, the City of Milan and Cardiff University, discussed its outputs with an Officier of EU Commission DG RTD Food2030 initiative; presented ongoing actions in the field of EU Common Agriculture Policy (CAP); city officers from Almere, Birmingham, Bruges, Ghent, Ljubljana, Lyon, Milan, s’Hertogenbosch and Vienna declared their intention to work jointly in the field of CAP advocacy.
