• Agriculture produces an average of 23.7 million tonnes of food 19.5 million tonnes of cereals, roots, tubers, fruit and vegetables, 1.1 million tonnes of meat 2.1 billion litres of milk.

• Fisheries and aquaculture harvest daily more than 400 000 tonnes of fish• Forests provide 9.5 million cubic metres of timber and fuelwood• Total value of agricultural production: US$ 7 billion/day• Agriculture employs 1/3 of the world’s workers, and provides livelihoods

for rural households totalling 2.5 billion people • Contributes to many environmental services….

Every day….

Today, food and agricultural systems are facing an unprecedented confluence of pressures

Population increases and requires more and better food, energy, and other agricultural products

Natural resources are over-exploited, degraded, and their productivity declines

Poverty, inequality, hunger and malnutrition are still higher in rural areas than elsewhere

Climate change and volatile food prices affect vulnerable people, in particular in rural areas

As pressure on resources increase, actions in one part of the agriculture ’system’ increasingly affect other parts

We need a new approach to agriculturethat truly addresses

the different dimensions of sustainability:

economic, environmental and social,and allows us to work much more across

sectors, objectives and interests

10

Addressing synergies and conflicts among sub-sectors

11

SFA defines five principles for sustainable food and agriculture

Enhance the efficiency of resource use

Conserve, protect, and enhance natural resources

Improve & protect livelihoods and human well-being

Enhance the resilience of people, communities and ecosystems

Promote and improve effective governance

12

Main features of SFA approach

• SFA builds on, adds coherence and complements sectoral approaches to agriculture, forestry and fisheries.

• SFA is context-specific, based on the understanding that each situations requires specific solutions

• People are central to the SFA process, which aims at changes in practices through the right combination of incentives

• By nature, transition towards SFA is a multi-stakeholder and cross-sectoral process, based on dialogue, seeking to build a common vision

• SFA approaches are flexible, adaptive, and respond to diverse and changing demands

• SFA approach integrates the external driving forces that influence agriculture

Food and agriculture in the center

20

• Achieving the SDGs requires sustainable development within and across agriculture, forestry and fisheries integrated way taking trade-offs and synergies across sectors and sustainability

dimensions into account

• SDGs call for new modalities in the way policies, programmes and investments are pulled together

• Ambition of the SDGs can only be achieved through partnerships and transforming the way different stakeholders cooperate

Methodical approach to address the complex linkages and competition among the users of resources, the natural environment and social, economic, nutritional and environmental goals which need to be recognized and considered in agricultural development programmes and identifying the necessary trade-offs and potential synergies they imply.

Integrated Approaches to Efficient Resource Use (ERU)

26

Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA)

CSA assists countries in integrating climate change into their agricultural and food security strategies, policies and practices

• sustainable increase in productivity and income • resilience and climate change adaptation • reduction of GHG emissions and increased carbon sequestration

27

When production systems are managed with an ecosystem approach, they may generate not just goods (food and timber, for example) but also a diversity of services and wider benefits such as water purification, cultural values and conservation of biodiversity.

• build a greater understanding on ecosystem services and biodiversity

• demonstrate change is necessary and feasible • build capacity in managing and restoring ecosystem services• present compelling evidence and share knowledge

Ecosystem Services and Biodiversity (ESB)

28

Blue Growth Initiative (BGI)

Improving the governance and management of the aquatic resources, the conservation of their biodiversity and habitats, the empowerment of concerned communities, including through better adaptation of vulnerable communities to climatic changes and improved resilience to natural disasters and crises.

• Marine and Inland Capture Fisheries• Global Aquaculture Advancement Partnership• Livelihoods and Food Systems• Economic Growth from Ecosystem Services

29

In details…Regional Initiatives under SP2

The Sustainable Production Intensification Initiative in

Africa takes a food system approach in three main areas of work:

1. Sustainable crop and livestock production intensification, with main focus on the production systems of staple and cash crops integrated with livestock, aquaculture and forestry production sectors;

2. Sustainable natural resources management (including fisheries, forestry and animal genetic resources and ecosystem services and biodiversity), and

3. Inclusive value chain development along the production systems

It aims to facilitate the development of comprehensive capacities to develop and promote adoption of integrated innovative practices, and use of technologies that increase production and productivity.The increased production will be channeled through improved value chains to pre-identified market opportunitiesAf

• Problem: hunger, malnutrition, obesity• Agriculture needs to produce sufficient quantities of foods covering

all essential nutrients to live a healthy life• Sufficient incomes coupled with the right knowledge and attitude

towards healthy foods are required to achieve food security

• Nutrition-sensitive agriculture and food systems1. nutrition-sensitive agriculture2. availability of a wide range of foods at a reasonable price to consumer3. consumer can demand and consume nutritious food all year round to

meet their cultural and nutritional needs
