CONFERENCE PROGRAM AT A GLANCE

WELCOME FROM THE CHAIR

Welcome to the First Mediterranean Conference on Food Supply and DistributionSystems in Urban Environments, which will be held in Rome, 6th and 7th July 2015,

at the “La Sapienza” University of Rome, Italy.

This conference is organized by the System Dynamics Italian Chapter (SYDIC), incooperation with “La Sapienza” University of Rome and the Systems Dynamics Society(SDS) together with the technical support of the Food and Agriculture Organization of theUnited Nations (FAO) through its project “Meeting Urban Food Needs” (MUFN).

The conference is in response to the challenge posed by increasing urban food demandworldwide and the need for efficient, dynamic and inclusive food systems meeting urbanfood needs, in order to bring safe and nutritious food throughout the cities and – in particular- in areas where low income households are located, at an affordable price.

The objective of this conference is to bring together policy makers, food experts, researchersand system dynamics scientists to discuss and identify appropriate perspectives, policyapproaches and tools for analyzing complex food systems meeting urban food needs indeveloping countries and in those with economies in transition, as a basis for the formulationof technically-sound local policies, strategies and investment plans at local and regional levels.

This event contributes to SYDIC’s goal of making science support sound policy formulationand ultimately promote a “model-based governance” approach to decision making. It alsoresponds to the interest of both FAO’s MUFN project and SYDIC to enrich the methods ofanalysis of food systems meeting urban food needs and means of policy intervention.

Participants will be able to choose among four workshops dedicated to the analysis ofcomplex (food) systems, facilitated by leading scholars in the field among whom:

• HANS HERREN, Head of the Millennium Institute and winner of the World Food Pricein 1995; • GEORGE P. RICHARDSON, Professor Emeritus at the Rockefeller College of Public Affairsand Policy, University of Albany,

Other leading experts in urban food security or related issues will also attend the meeting,among them:

• JOHN INGRAM, food security expert and member of the International Resources Panelof the United Nations;

CONFERENCE OPENING

1. FEEDING THE PLANET, FEEDING THE CITIES - THE EU SCIENTIFIC CONTRIBUTION TO EXPO MILANO 2015. JULIA BEILE

The Universal Exposition having started on 1 May 2015 in Milan on the theme "Feedingthe Planet, Energy for Life" brings for six months to the world's attention one of the mostpressing global challenges of our time: How to feed 9 billion people by 2050 in anincreasingly urban environment. "Feeding the Planet” is a theme of enormous importancefor the EU; many EU policy areas are related to it, from agriculture to development, fromfood safety to environmental protection, from industry to research and innovation.

The EU attaches crucial importance to the role science has in addressing the continuingpressures on the global food system for the forthcoming decades. It has therefore launcheda Scientific Steering Committee for Expo 2015, which is chaired by Franz Fischler, andcomposed of 11 scientific experts alongside five stakeholder participants and advisors ofinternational repute. The committee has been tasked with producing a discussion paperon the role of research in global food and nutrition security as part of its participation atExpo Milano 2015. This document gives an overview of where European research canadd the most value in relation to tackling food and nutrition security challenges andpoints to seven main areas, where we can expand our research potential. Moreover, ithighlights the need to foster a better understanding of the food systems through educationand to develop a governance structure that will allow sharing of best practices andfacilitate the transfer of knowledge and innovation to feed the planet and its inhabitantssustainably. With this document, the European Union wants to stimulate a globaldiscussion with stakeholders and the general public and shape a legacy for Expo 2015.

Julia Beile is Deputy Director EU Pavilion, EU Expo 2015Taskforce. Julia has joined the EU Expo 2015 Taskforcein November 2013.

1.1.1 ADAPTATIVE FOOD SYSTEMS IN THE GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE. JOHN INGRAM

This presentation initially discusses the two-way interactions between human activitiesrelated to food and nutrition security (FNS: in the context of the ‘food system’), andenvironmental change (in the context of ‘planetary boundaries’). It will also introducesome of the impacts of crossing these boundaries for FNS. The presentation will thendiscuss the current and anticipated food security status and factors that determineconsumption patterns. This will be discussed in relation to the multiple roles of the‘food chain’ (alternatively referred to as the food ‘value chain’), and the quantity andquality of food produced. The presentation will conclude with some options for changingthe food system to both adapt to inevitable change and mitigate further change.

1.1.2 UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF CITIES IN MODERN SOCIETIES: THE LAND-USE, FOOD, ENERGY, WATER, POPULATION NEXUS FOR SUSTAINABILITY. MARIO GIAMPIETRO

Urban systems are special cases of socio-ecological systems (SES) that are generated bythe sustained interaction of two distinct typologies of complex adaptive autopoieticsystems: human societies and ecosystems. As a consequence, urban systems are subjectto external constraints that are imposed by processes beyond human control and thatdetermine the feasibility of the urban system: cities must be able to stabilize the requiredflow of inputs (food, energy, water, minerals, and imported products) and to dispose ofthe resulting flow of wastes and emissions while expressing a set of functions thatguarantees a satisfactory life style for their citizens. The recent explosion of the urbanpopulation at the global scale has been possible because of the takeover of fossil energyas the main supply of energy in modern society. The industrial revolution has allowedus to break the original circular economy, entirely supported by natural cycles andpowered by the conversion of food into human work. With the introduction of newsystems of production, the economy managed to generate a quantity of jobs and a qualityof life-style that was simply inconceivable in pre-industrial rural economies.

1.1.3 SUSTAINING THE ECOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL FOUNDATIONS OF OUR FOOD SYSTEMS.VANDANA SHIVA

Sustainability of Food and Agriculture systems rests on the Ecological Foundation ofnatural capital-our Soil and Biodiversity, our Water and a Stable Climate. It also restson the Social Foundations of thriving small and family farmers who know how to takecare of the landscape and agriculture ecosystems, and of the quality of food we eat.Small farms produce 70% of the food we eat Both these Foundations are severely threatenedby industrial agriculture which is responsible for destroying 75% of the ecological capitalof Soil, Biodiversity and Water,contributing to 40 % of the Greenhouse gases leading toClimate Change.

Families and Societies are disintegrating under the pressure of debt due to high costinputs, and displacement due to soil degradation,desertification, the water crisis andclimate havoc. In ecological agriculture lie the answers to sustainability.

Dr Vandana Shiva will share the research and practicalresults from Navdanya over the past 3 decades oncontributions to sustainability of our food Systems.Dr Vandana Shiva trained as a physicist and did aninterdisciplinary doctorate on ‘Hidden Variables and Non-Locality in Quantum Theory’ from the University ofWestern Ontario, Canada. She is Founder/Director of the‘Research Foundation for Science, Technology andEcology’ and ‘Navdanya’, the movement for seed savingand ecological agriculture. Dr Shiva is the author ofnumerous books including Staying Alive, Ecofeminism,

Seed Sovereignty and Food Security - Women in the Vanguard (Ed.), Soil Not Oil,Earth Democracy and Who Feeds the World. For four decades of dedication toindependent and ecological research, Dr Shiva has been honoured with many awardsincluding The Right Livelihood Award, The Sydney Peace Prize, The Fukuoka Prizeand the Lennon-Ono Peace Prize.

Within this general framework, urban systems can be perceived as highly specializedorgans of human societies characterized by: (i) an extremely high spatial density of bothfund (humans, technology and infrastructure) and flow elements (energy, food andmaterial); and (ii) an extremely high degree of openness (heavily dependent on theimport of biophysical flows and export of wastes). The extreme openness of themetabolic pattern of cities makes it difficult to define the boundaries of the urban system.The effect of globalization has accentuated this boundary problem. The massive tradeof commodities across distant countries has made the urban metabolism (and especiallythat of megacities) virtually independent from the economic and biophysical processestaking place in the immediate rural surroundings.

Multi-Scale Integrated Analysis of Societal and Ecosystem Metabolism (MuSIASEM)provides insight in the metabolic pattern of urban systems by characterizing fund (land-use, population time use, power capacity) and flow elements (food, energy, water), thedegree of openness of the system, and the dependence on external resources. Twoexamples are presented to illustrate this methodological approach: (1) A simple studyof the feasibility, viability and desirability of scenarios of agricultural development inthe Mauritius Islands based on the analysis of the nexus between food, energy, waterand land use; (2) An alternative reading of the present global economic crisisrecognizing the existence of planetary boundaries that are slowing down the pace ofeconomic growth.

1.2.1 GLOBAL FOOD SECURITY 2030: ASSESSING TRENDS WITH A VIEW TO GUIDING

FUTURE EU POLICIES. ALBINO MAGGIO

Despite its multifaceted nature, the debate surrounding food security over the last fewdecades has largely focused on production and on the challenges facing the agriculturalsystem. Food security has also been directly associated with hunger, poverty andhumanitarian aspects. Although agriculture and fisheries are fundamental and essentialcomponents of the food system, it is misguided to address the future of food security withoutlooking at the system’s many other determinants. The time has come to overcome thisconventional approach and to look systemically at food security and its complex nature.The JRC Foresight on Global Food Security 2030 brought together a group of experts andstakeholders to develop a vision for food security in 2030. This vision was then challengedin a test of resilience to unexpected occurrences and/or underestimated trends. The entireprocess was designed to establish a structured and inclusive discussion that could be usefulfor guiding future EU policies. This report shows that it is essential for Europe to movetowards an integrated examination of a much broader landscape. By 2030 and beyond, foodsecurity will increasingly be considered as securing food supply in response to changing andgrowing global demand. Food security is not only a global and systemic challenge, but alsoan opportunity for the EU to play a role in innovation, trade, health, wealth generationand geopolitics. Better coordination and coherence at EU level are necessary in order tomove from a food-security to a food-systems approach. This report calls for an evolution ofpresent-day policies on food security and beyond into a Common Food Systems Policy inwhich both the systemic and global dimensions of food security are fully incorporated.

2.1.2 INTEGRATED MODELING CONCEPTS AND TOOLS TO FACILITATE TRANSITIONS

TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEMS. NUNO VIDEIRA

With the increasing complexity of food chains, a systems perspective is crucial for analysingthe socio-ecological processes of production and consumption and balancing food demandand supply sustainably. This presentation explores the role of system dynamics basedintegrated modelling platforms in supporting formulation and assessment of food policiesand facilitating the necessary transitions towards sustainable food systems.

1.2.3 MARKETPLACES AS URBAN DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES. JANSSENS FREEK

Cities have historically been tightly connected to their food producing hinterland, andcontrol over the urban food flow was of outmost importance to the local authorities.However, industrialisation, deregulation and other neoliberal policies have emancipatedcities from the countryside, and have radically re-framed their role as passive consumers,rather than active players, in the food chain.

Parallel to this, the management of food markets – traditionally the most importantplace to get fresh and affordable food in a city – has shifted from ‘facilitation’ to‘policing,’ and increasingly city officials characterize marketplaces as problematic interms of health and safety, traffic congestion, chaos, and in general illegality. Thisnarrative is fed by the international chain store lobby whose spread is not just the globalNorth, but increasingly in Asia, the Middle East and Africa. As urban dwellers, then,we are to a large extent ignorant of where our food is coming from – an ignorance that,in some cases, we choose to maintain.This development has created a global food system that many of us agree is unsustainablein the long term. Problems that result from this manifest themselves not only in ruralareas, but also profoundly in today's cities, with increasing rates of obesity and coronaryheart diseases amongst the urban poor, but also occasional crises like BSE or SARS thataffect all urbanites. Rather than understanding the city solely as the cause, or themanifestation, of an unsustainable food situation, Freek Janssens aims to re-conceptualise cities as active players in the transition towards a more sustainable foodsystem. In particular, he calls for the attention of professionals to put marketplaces ontothe urban agenda, and through that, reclaim their role in re-shaping food flows.

Freek Janssens is researcher and teacher at the AmsterdamInstitute for Social Science Research and member of theCentre for Urban Studies. His research focuses on thepolitics of urban food markets. He has conductedethnographic fieldwork in London, Amsterdam andIstanbul, as well as on the island of Sardinia, and hasrecently published a Special Issue of the journal ‘BuiltEnvironment’ on ‘Marketplaces as Urban DevelopmentStrategies.


2.1.3 SCIENCE FOR INTEGRATED PLANNING: THRESHOLD21 MODEL'S INSIGHTS TO MEET

URBAN FOOD NEEDS. HANS HERREN

The Threshold 21 (T21) system dynamics model allows for the representation of thefood system within the larger framework of the three sustainable developmentdimensions, and so take into account the the essential connections in this complexsystem when assessing it. The T21 model allows therefore for a holistic, dynamic andsystemic analysis of the food system and is a useful tool in the policy planners toolbox.This is particularly relevant for the development of national roadmaps for the SDGs,for which all countries will have to set their own realistic targets within the given rangeof options, design policies and set in place a strong monitoring and review system usinga multistakeholder approach. This is true for the urban food needs, as well as for allother sectors of the economy, society and environment, as they are connected, or not,with the urban-rural food system. The use of the T21 model will help the decisionmakers in their quest to seek synergies and avoid negative feedbacks in the complexfood system, highlighting the areas where leverage can be applied to optimize the manyoutcomes that will be relevant for an urban-rural food system that is multifunctionaland sustainable.

Dr. Herren’s main interests and experience are in the areaof holistic, integrated and sustainable agriculture anddevelopment. He has hands-on experience in research,capacity development, management of agricultural andbio-science research organizations and is also active at thepolicy level, to assure that knowledge, science andtechnology contribute effectively to sustainable andequitable development by informing development policiesat national, regional and global levels.Professional Background:

• Founder and President of Biovision.ch Foundation for Ecological Development,Switzerland, 1998-present.

A system dynamics based integrative modelling framework is advanced to articulateopportunities for integration of issues, disciplines, scales of analysis, policy formulationand assessment tools, and stakeholder participation. Such approach is illustrated withcase studies where integrative modelling processes have been conducted to promotebetter food systems management. Participatory system dynamics modelling, for example,has a lot to offer in the context of integrated environmental and sustainabilityassessment of food policies. Facilitated modelling methods provide a platform to activelyengage stakeholder groups in modelling activities and collaboratively unravel thefeedback structures underlying socio-ecological interrelationships. That is the case ofparticipatory systems mapping, a form of participatory modelling oriented towardspromoting learning and co-production of knowledge among researchers and policy-makers, which was applied in two knowledge brokerage events conducted in Portugal,focusing on several food issues, such as sustainability impacts in food chains, foodconsumption habits and the emergence of food waste. Other examples of integrativepotential will be addressed, including the combination of modelling processes withvisioning and scenario methods, as well as policy appraisal and valuation tools.

In conclusion, integrated modelling concepts and tools offer promising solutions toenhance the study of sustainable food systems, namely by adopting an interdisciplinaryand long-term perspective, developing shared problem understandings and opening uppolicy formulation and assessment processes to plural perspectives through stakeholderengagement.

2.2.2 FEEDING CITIES: STRATEGIES FOR SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEMS. VINCENT GALARNEAU

The current food system has to deal with many important issues: food insecurity, highenergy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, land and water pollution, food waste,etc. On the other hand, the way cities are developed encourages the loss of valuableagricultural land and creates monofunctional neighborhoods that can't be qualified assustainable or resilient.

As an urban planning NGO based in Québec, Canada, Vivre en Ville promotes sustainablecommunities that are designed for their residents and characterized by a compact urbanform, a mix of functions, a variety of public spaces and transportation options and theappropriate location of their activities. By combining sustainable urban planning practiceswith a food system approach, cities can significantly improve access to healthy food forall their residents. In other words, they can become Feeding Cities (Villes nourricières).

This conference will show how a better integration of food in the local governmentagenda can help communities build stronger proximity-based food systems. Five majoringredients of these systems will be discussed : productives spaces, responsible businesses,better access to healthy food, increased local food demand and optimized lifecycle. Manyinspiring case studies from North American cities will be presented along the way.

Vincent Galarneau is Agricultural and EnvironmentalConsultant for Vivre en Ville, a public interest organizationthat contributes to the development of sustainablecommunities throughout Quebec, Canada. Awarded aBachelor of Environmental Science and a Master of Arts inAnthropology from Laval University, Vincent Galarneau hasoverseen the implementation of several urban communitygardens, established collective marketing schemes for smallbusinesses and contributed to different studies and scientificpublications.
