Recently, food-related policy initiatives have proliferated, such as food strategies, food plans, food councils, food districts and food communities, just to name the more relevant ones. Far from being systematically defined and logically systematized, these concepts often overlap or are used as synonyms. The paper has systematically traced the current trends showing how these concepts are used in the current debate, the theoretical background on which they are grounded and the public policies they call for, following a threefold approach: (1) a literature analysis to establish the state of academic research on food systems in its multidimensionality; (2) a review of the existing national legislation to detect the utilization of food policy-related lemmas in the normative; (3) a computational linguistic analysis applied on institutional documentation to explore how cities and territories are using concepts and definitions in the grey literature. The results show that the construction of narratives around the topic of food systems planning is experiencing a momentum, with particular emphasis on principles, background premises and governance aspects. In this context, the risk of marginality for the agricultural sector in such discourses and narratives is highlighted.

Food policy councils (FPCs) are one form of community coalition that aims to address challenges to local food systems and enhance availability, accessibility, and affordability of healthy foods for local residents. We used data from the 2014 National Survey of Community-Based Policy and Environmental Supports for Healthy Eating and Active Living, a nationally representative survey of US municipalities (n = 2029), to examine the prevalence of FPCs and cross-sectional associations between FPCs and four types of supports for healthy food access (approaches to help food stores, practices to support farmers markets, transportation-related supports, and community planning documents). Overall, 7.7% of municipalities reported having a local or regional FPC. FPCs were more commonly reported among larger municipalities with ≥50,000 people (29.2%, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 21.6, 36.8) and western region municipalities (13.2%, 95% CI: 9.6, 16.8). After multivariable adjustment, municipalities with FPCs had significantly higher odds of having all four types of supports, compared to those without FPCs (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) range: 2.4–3.4). Among municipalities with FPCs (n = 156), 41% reported having a local government employee or elected official as a member, and 46% had a designated health or public health representative. Although FPCs were uncommon, municipalities that reported having a local or regional FPC were more likely to report having supports for healthy food access for their residents.

Abstract Climate change and the growth of the world’s population, including Indonesia, have resulted in the intensive exploitation of mass food supplies. This has resulted in a shift in the consumption pattern of people who used to consume local food such as sago, tubers and bananas to switch to rice. Furthermore, dependence on rice also results in a change in land use or a shift in community forests that are intended for local plants to be reduced. Another impact of the shift in people’s consumption patterns is damage to the environment, both land and water itself. This also happened in Papua province, especially Merauke district. The purpose of this study is to analyze the government’s alignment to local food sustainability as an alternative solution to the problem of food security. The research uses a qualitative approach. The results of the study indicate that the government has taken sides in making local food more powerful but still needs support from various parties.

This article aims to explain the history of food policy in Indonesia related to the diversity of staple foods in 1945-2021. This research used historical methods and literature studies on food policy studies. The results indicate that no continuity of staple food diversity which is the historical reality of contemporary Indonesian food policy. In the beginning, the diversity of staple food, the local wisdom of the archipelagic community, had received a considerable attention in the idealism of President Sukarno. However, it still was not fulfilled in the next period, such as in the rice politics of President Soeharto, the food security movement of President Megawati Soekarnoputri, the food import policy of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, to the food barn policy of President Joko Widodo. The diversity of staple foods in contemporary government policies is accommodated in short-term, local, or partial scale programs, and not adaptive to changing times. Thus, the fulfillment of community’s staple food is still dominated by non-inclusive food policies.

Abstract Objectives Community efforts to improve access to nutritious foods are one strategy to reduce food insecurity, promote healthy eating, and prevent diet-related chronic diseases. Food policy councils (FPCs) can facilitate relationships between food systems players and implementation of local policy efforts to increase access to healthier foods. This study examined associations between FPCs with local policy supports for healthy food access. Methods We used data from CDC's 2014 National Survey of Community-Based Policy and Environmental Supports for Healthy Eating and Active Living, a nationally representative survey of U.S. municipalities with population ≥1000 (n = 2029). We calculated the prevalence of FPCs, overall and by municipal characteristics including population size, census region, rural/urban status, poverty prevalence, median education level, and racial/ethnic composition. We used multivariable logistic regression to examine cross-sectional associations between FPCs and four types of supports for healthy food access (approaches to help open or improve food stores; practices to support farmers markets; transportation-related supports; and community planning documents). Results Overall, 7.6% of municipalities reported having a local or regional FPC. FPCs were reported more frequently among larger municipalities with ≥50,000 people (29.2%, 95% confidence interval (CI): 21.6–36.8) compared to smaller municipalities (4.3% for <2500 people; 7.0% for 2500–49,999 people) and among western municipalities (13.2%, CI: 9.6–16.8) compared to other Census regions (5.9% for south; 6.5% for northeast; 7.6% for midwest). After multivariable adjustment, municipalities with FPCs had significantly higher odds of having all four types of policy supports for healthy food access, compared to those without FPCs (aOR range: 2.4–3.4). Among municipalities with a FPC (n = 156), 41% reported a local government employee or elected official as a member and 46% had a designated health or public health representative. Conclusions Although FPCs are uncommon, municipalities that reported having a local or regional FPC were more likely to report having policy supports for healthy food access for their residents.

The food crisis is a threat to all countries. Thinking must be changed from food security to food self-sufficiency. The policy in overcoming the food crisis is by diversifying food. Food diversification is food diversification with balanced nutrition. Barriers to the development of local food are undeveloped products and people's thinking that rice is a staple food. The development of local food products is the provision of income for the food industry.

In recent years, the scientific community has focused more on urban food policies adopted by big cities and less on the local food policies adopted by small municipalities. Furthermore, the empirical evidence on school food policy initiatives is quite fragmented, and the management of the canteen service is not directly addressed by the studies carried out. In this work, the school food policy implemented in a small municipality (Corciano in the province of Perugia, Centre Italy) of about 22,000 inhabitants, through the application of project financing with the participation of local social cooperatives is presented and discussed. This paper aims to reflect on the capability of the alternative food networks developed through the project financing mechanism to identify and implement the uses of the resources concerning the local food policy objectives and the project capacity of the network. The analysis is conducted using a methodological approach based on agricultural economics and anthropology. Results from economic data analysis, collective interviews, and participant observation show that: the financial balance of the project financing is positive but quite precarious and very sensitive to market variations, both regarding the overall demand for canteen meals, and the procurement of raw materials and workforce; the project’s organizational model through a local network not only can combine the environmental, social, and health dimensions of food, but it can also reshape the local concept of community, as well as new opportunities for the circulation of food products.

The distance between farms and cities and the limited access that some residents have to fresh foods can be detrimental to a city's capacity to feed people over time. This study addressed the under-studied topic of urban farming as a secondary food source, specifically by exploring the opportunities and limitations of urban farming in a large Northeastern city. Brundtland's food policy was the pivotal theory supporting food production to end global starvation, and was the link between environmental conservation and human survival. The research question for this study examined the potential food policy opportunities and limitations that assist urban farms as a supplemental food source. Twenty stakeholders from the public (6), nonprofit (7), private (3), and academic (4) sectors formed the purposeful snowball sample in this case study. Data were collected through open-ended interviews, which were then subjected to an iterative and inductive coding strategy. The significant finding of this study is that while food policy supported urban farms as a secondary food source in a way consistent with Brundtland's theory, local food alone was inadequate to feed its urban population. Other key findings revealed that food policies that influenced land use, food production, and procurement presented unique challenges in each sector. Existing food production policies such as zoning regulations, permitting processes, and public funding benefited one sector over another. The study contributes to social change by exploring food policies that encourage partnerships between sector stakeholders; urban, rural, and suburban farmers; and city residents that foster alternative and sustainable food production in the urban setting.

Across the US, support is ever-growing for the local food movement. This growing trend promotes food security, supports farming families, ensures universal access to safe and healthy food products, enhances local economies, and encourages environmental and social well-being. People around the US are implementing sustainable local food systems as a means of meeting their individual community’s needs. While this movement is being popularized dramatically around the world, many cities and regions have yet to address it. This study reviews the existing literature on local food system models in an effort to answer the research question: What are the “ingredients” of a healthy local food system? The local food system of Owensboro, KY was analyzed via interviews with key players in its food system. In addition, experts in this field at the state level were also interviewed to understanding the functions of and the degree of support for local food systems in KY. Recommendations were then made for the city of Owensboro on how to further enhance its local food system into one of greater vibrancy and overall health.

This thesis is an exploration into how New York City can incorporate local food system planning into their existing sustainability program by capitalizing on recent energy and grassroots initiatives. I argue for the importance of local and regionally produced food as a part of food system sustainability, and propose that food issues be addressed at the local level. In order to learn how food planning transforms from a social and advocacy movement and into policy, I compare food policy initiatives in Chicago, San Francisco, and Vancouver. My analysis of each city's food program reveals their shared aspiration to provide affordable, accessible, and fresh food with few adverse environmental impacts. Each city's strategies are the product of local conditions, interests, and political culture. I recommend that as the New York City government looks towards coordinating food policy, these precedents illustrate the necessity of tailoring urban food policy practices to suit local conditions, community culture, and needs. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of nascent food policy efforts while suggesting roles for policy makers, community groups, and citizens in New York City.

The modern global agrifood system has had significant negative impacts on consumers and producers. This has precipitated the rise of local food systems that are purported to improve the health and livelihoods of consumers and producers. High expectations have led to significant public and private resources dedicated to the development of local food systems. Despite this, there has been little systematic research exploring the social and institutional conditions that facilitate or frustrate local food system development. Using a comparative case study approach, this study explored the ways local structural conditions, collective action, food system policies, and the political context affect the development of local food systems. Findings suggested truly robust local food system development requires either collective action or public policies and are more likely to exist and be successful depending on the political climate and the balance of power between land use interests in the community.

Calls for an integrated food policy to tackle the new fundamentals of the food system have been regularly made by academics, policymakers, the food industry and civil society for over a decade in many countries but, despite some changes, much of the old policy framework remains entrenched. This gap raises questions about why policy innovation has proved so difficult. This study responded to that research problem through a qualitative, interpretivist comparative study of how two countries attempted to improve their policy integration, via two specific policy integration projects: the UK’s Food Matters/Food 2030 process (2008-2010) and Australia’s (2010-2013) National Food Plan. It applied a conceptual framework fusing historical institutionalism and the public policy integration literature, focusing on the policy formulation stage. Fieldwork was conducted in both countries, including interviews with key informants; and publically-available documents about the policy projects and broader policy systems were analysed. The findings suggest the two policy projects represent a food policy shift from single-domain ‘policy taker’, towards multiple domain ‘policy maker’, but both fell short of what might be classed as ‘integration’ in the literature. The research identifies how tensions between domains are sidestepped, and makes broader propositions around how multiple values and goals co-exist in this contested policy space, and the need for improved value agreement capacity. It also highlights a general lack of focus on integration as a process. It explores how the legacy of historical fragmented approaches, plus political developments and decisions around institutional design, and a more general trend of hollowing out of national government, impact on how integrated food policy can be formulated in a particular country setting. It therefore proposes an emerging ‘institutionalist theory of food policy integration’, conceptualising the dimensions of integration, and multiple institutional influences on integration attempts.

This thesis explores the potential for food policy groups in England to render the food environment within their local areas more sustainable and resilient. The main question it addresses is how institutional norms, values and practices affect food policy groups’ capacity to pursue their aims. The research is informed by earlier literature identifying factors that shape the governance context within which a food policy group operates. It finds that institutions affecting food policy groups reside in four locations: within groups, between groups and their local authorities; within the local context; and within the multilevel governance context. The study design is five case studies: the London Food Programme; the Islington Food Strategy; the Bristol Food Policy Council; Manchester Food Futures; and the County Durham Sustainable Local Food Strategy. These were selected to have diversity in: local government structure; location of the group vis-à-vis local government; and progress towards a food strategy. Data collection was through document analysis, direct observation, and semi-structured interviews. The analysis shows the importance of food policy groups purposively determining and articulating institutions for efficiency and to foster actor agency to overcome constraints. Groups try to align their institutions with organisations they seek to influence in order to boost legitimacy and influence policy efficiently. Despite the dynamism of food policy groups and the difference they make in the lived experience of local areas, at present they are not prompting major change in the over-all food system configuration. This research applies new institutionalism to the study of local level food policy for the first time, enabling insights into how institutional factors affect capacity. It contributes new perspectives to the new institutionalist literature on agency and institutional change. The research is the first coherent exploration of the capacity of English food policy groups. It provides an evidence base to guide local food policy groups to be cognisant of contextual factors as they adopt structures and practices to maximise their impact.

AbstractThis chapter shows how local and national food systems are interconnected through trade, storage and processing, forming a global system that links each country’s producers and consumers. We define the concept of comparative advantage and extend our analytical diagrams to explain the prices observed in international trade, including the influence of transportation costs and commodity storage on price levels and price volatility in each country. We address the role of tariffs, quotas and other policies, showing their impact on income distribution within each country and the incentives they create for political leaders to restrict trade, and describe the extent and nature of policy interventions that shape each country’s role in the global food system. The second section of the chapter addresses the institutional arrangements and value chains in each country that link agricultural producers to end-users. Individual enterprises often seek horizontal integration in the provision of different things over a larger geographic area, and may also seek vertical integration in controlling their own source of supplies and marketing to end-users. The alternative to integration is for enterprises to specialize in their own domain, and make transactions with each other through markets whose institutional structure and governance influences the risk of market failure in terms of quality assurance, pricing and market power. The institutional context for each activity along the value chain also influences its environmental externalities, worker rights and health impacts, creating the need and opportunity for social accounting of the full costs and benefits of each product.

AbstractThe concluding chapter reflects on the conceptual, empirical, and policy-related contributions that this book has made and identifies remaining unresolved issues. ‘Resilience’, ‘food system’, and even ‘food security’ were seen to be elusive and contested concepts. A food systems’ lens is more holistic than conventional preoccupations with agriculture and food prices, by highlighting for instance the relatively neglected role of food processors in food security analysis. Global and national food systems are increasingly resilient, even against shocks like COVID-19 lockdowns, but climate change raises fundamental challenges. Moreover, paradoxes remain, such as the coexistence of high levels of undernutrition and overnutrition in countries where food systems appear to be performing efficiently. Governments, international agencies, civil society, the private sector, and local communities all have important complementary roles to play. But there are difficult policy trade-offs to negotiate: whether to promote higher crop yields or lower crop volatility, for instance, or whether to intervene in food systems by taxing unhealthy foods (e.g. sugar), which could benefit consumers but would harm affected farmers. Ultimately, at global, national, and local levels, well-functioning, sustainable and equitable food systems need to deliver not only enough food, but affordable access for all to sustainable healthy diets.

AbstractMadison and Dane County, Wisconsin, are known for progressive politics and early support for community gardening, urban agriculture, and agricultural land preservation. Despite this history of regulatory innovation, the city and county have been slow to address food injustices in local food systems planning and policy development. This chapter covers the local government food systems policy and planning landscape, highlighting local government collaboration with the nonprofit sector to achieve food systems goals, and examining how codification of those goals supports or hinders urban agriculture. The COVID-19 pandemic presented both local governments with a unique opportunity to further collaborations that are more deeply inclusive of community food sovereignty.

Enterprises engaged in food production are one of the focuses of the European Green Deal, as the implementation of its objectives will make impacts on agriculture, which is one of the most important industries supplying raw materials to food producers, as well as on energy and transport. Previous research studies have emphasized that processes within the local food system (LFS) occur over a relatively short geographical distance, thereby creating a number of economic advantages as well as making a significant impact on the community economy. In other words, this diversifies the rural economy, makes enterprises more economically independent, develops local potential and contributes to the image of the area. Most of the food produced in Latvia was sold in the domestic market, and only approximately a third of the food output was exported over the last decade. The expansion of the domestic market is therefore very important for local producers. Food production is spread throughout the country, and both home producers and rural small and medium enterprises producing food participate in the market, which contributes particularly to the socio-economic viability of the population living in rural communities. As a result, local food systems emerge, which is a complex phenomenon, as it involves more than just economic aspects. Food production, distribution and waste management are indirectly affected by several public policies, as the food production begins with the exploitation of primary production resources linked to the environment and ends with the development of cultural services, including the preservation of traditions and values. Accordingly, it might be argued that an LFS represents a very complex and diverse set of actors and their interrelationships, which is constrained by specific social, cultural, economic and institutional frameworks, and therefore the research aims to give insight into the public policy dimension in food systems and, based on the research findings, identify key problems and develop recommendations for the development of food systems in Latvia.

The current rural development policy from 2014-2020, both at national and European level, affirms and supports the strengthening of the agricultural family sector as a guarantee for food security and safety and for maintaining rural social structures. During this programming period it is considered that subsistence and semi-subsistence farms can contribute to the dynamics of the territory, spatial planning and valorization of disadvantaged areas, promotion of local traditions and preservation of biological and cultural heritage. Family farms remain the best means for ensuring sustainable management of natural resources and biodiversity and preserving authentic rural life and sustainability of food production.

Agricultural cooperatives are excellent tool for strengthening the competitiveness of overall agriculture and individual farms. In previous period there are significant state support allocated to affirmation and development of reasonable entrepreneurial initiatives related to agricultural cooperatives. Even more are valued the sustainable business ideas that have initiated organization of processing at the cooperative level. The main goal of paper is to present the part of mechanism for assessing the economic effectiveness of planed investment in medicinal plants production and processing at selected agricultural cooperative that will be granted from public fund. Investment project suppose the modernization and purchase of missing production elements that will boost the production results of observed cooperative active in sector of medicinal plants. To perceive if or how much the investment is internally/externally economically welcomed, it will be conducted the investment analysis based on use of common static methods. Besides the strengthening of cooperative economic sustainability, both sides, i.e. policy maker and agricultural cooperative, are expecting that realization of investment will surely has certain ecological and social impact to cooperative and local community. Gained results of investment analysis show that supporting the investment in medicinal plant production and processing could be a win-win combination for observed cooperative and local community it belongs.

This journal focuses on the sub-theme of "Food Systems in Sustainable Development" within the broader context of the conference on Sustainable Food Systems, Diet, Health Inequalities, and Policy. The abstract provides a concise overview of the topic, outlining the scope of the study, significant data, major findings, and conclusions. It follows a structured format, starting with the background, objective, results, and conclusion. Background: Food systems play a crucial role in achieving sustainable development goals by addressing the interrelated challenges of food production, distribution, consumption, and environmental impact. This abstract presents key insights into sustainable agricultural practices, resource efficiency, and equitable access to nutritious food within sustainable development. Objective: This study aims to examine the role of food systems in sustainable development and explore strategies for enhancing their environmental, social, and economic dimensions. It aims to shed light on the challenges and opportunities associated with current food systems and provide evidence-based recommendations for transformative change. Results: The study highlights the urgent need to transition towards sustainable agricultural practices, including agroecological approaches such as organic farming, permaculture, and regenerative agriculture. These practices contribute to resource efficiency, biodiversity conservation, and climate change mitigation and adaptation. Moreover, the study emphasizes the importance of promoting equitable access to nutritious and culturally appropriate food for all individuals. It explores the effectiveness of local food systems, such as farmers' markets, community-supported agriculture, and urban agriculture initiatives, in enhancing food security, supporting local economies, and reducing the carbon footprint associated with long-distance food transportation. The role of technology in revolutionizing food systems is also discussed, focusing on innovative approaches like precision agriculture, vertical farming, and blockchain-based traceability systems. These technologies have the potential to enhance productivity, reduce waste, and ensure transparency and accountability throughout the food value chain. Conclusion: In conclusion, this study underscores the significance of food systems in sustainable development and the need for transformative change. It highlights the importance of collaborative partnerships, knowledge sharing, and evidence-based policies to address the challenges and opportunities associated with sustainable food systems. By prioritizing sustainable agriculture, enhancing food security, and addressing health and social inequalities, we can contribute to a future where our food systems promote the well-being of both people and the planet. Keywords: food systems, sustainable development, agriculture, resource efficiency, equitable access.

Rural areas in Italy account for more than 90% of the national land area: in many of them, which are mainly dedicated to agriculture, poor socio-economic development is causing depopulation phenomena, so new means must be sought to develop the agri-food sector. The study highlights the role of ICT in the development of rural areas, describing, in particular, the functions of an innovative web portal that promotes typical food and “food & wine” tourism. Case study. We describe the design of the new web portal 'lacucinacampana.it', relating to a southern Italian region (Campania), which is, however, exportable to any area wishing to promote agri-food products. The portal intends to offer in an integrated manner all contents related to typical food from Campania: food products with their suppliers, local dishes with the restaurateurs that offer them, associated places with their tourist attractions, itineraries, food and wine experiences. All content is available in 11 languages to expand the online market and facilitate foreign tourists in Italy. The portal promotes the sale of typical food products and wine and food tourism, which are fundamental levers for the development of rural areas. This study complements the modest literature on portals used for agricultural development. It can act as a driver for fur ther developments in ICT technologies for agricultural development. The research highlights significant potential for gains for the suppliers registered for the portal, which should be brought to the attention of public policy and trade associations.

Despite the fact that the study of the civil war was the most important area of interest for Soviet historical science, the causes of the civil war in the Black Earth region were insufficiently understood. The main provisions on the causes of the war were formulated as early as the 1920s-1930s and did not develop further. The content of the civil confrontation in the Black Earth region was considered the class struggle against the kulaks, who found political and military-organizational support from the Socialist-Revolutionaries of all shades, the Mensheviks, as well as officers and non-commissioned officers who spoke out in defense of their land ownership and against the food policy of the Soviet government. At the same time, the position that the internal war, due to local, regional reasons, in the Black Earth region began only in 1920-1921 also turned out to be unreflected.

Factors such as population growth, rapid urbanisation, climate change and unequal access to wealth have increased the food crisis in the world, which was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This crisis, which has had a greater impact on middle- and low-income countries, has highlighted the dependence of cities on food produced in rural areas of each country or even from other countries. As a contribution to the global discussion on food sovereignty, this Policy Brief focuses on demonstrating the benefits of local food production in urban community gardens to ensure access to healthy food within the framework of processes for the collective construction of the territory in popular neighbourhoods. In addition to the production of food for local consumption or marketing, it will be shown how these gardens fulfil spatial functions such as the recovery of deteriorated urban spaces, and educational functions such as the protection of nature and the exchange and transmission of ancestral knowledge.

The feed-food competition for environmental and economic resources raises increasing concerns about the production and supply of protein for the global livestock sector. Risks to food-security and approaching deadlines for global sustainable development, means exploring the potential for alternative protein feeds is imperative. However, as the use of alternative feeds for livestock production is still at its infancy, it is critical that potential direct or indirect food safety risks are evaluated before implementation at commercial scales. This Rapid Evidence Assessment (REA) offers a lens that focuses on the potential opportunities and threats of such alternatives for the sustainability and food safety of the global livestock sector. Four potential alternative protein sources for livestock feeds are identified and evaluated through this REA: genetically modified / engineered protein crops and alternative cultivation methods cellular agriculture former foods, food waste and industry by-products and waste streams animal by-products and insects Through this analysis, a strategic policy roadmap and research agenda are synthesised to facilitate higher-level policy making, supporting local solutions for global sustainable development and a more food-secure future. The four broad directions for policy making and research the REA proposes are: decoupling protein production from fossil fuel developing sustainable economic strategies for alternative proteins at a subnational level supporting circular livestock feed solutions further enhancing the feed and food regulatory system

Studies of livelihoods and food systems since the start of the global pandemic in 2020 have shown a consistent pattern: the primary risks to food and livelihood security are at the household level. Covid-19 is having a major impact on households’ production and access to quality, nutritious food, due to losses of income, combined with increasing food prices, and restrictions to movements of people, inputs and products. The studies included in this Research for Policy and Practice Report and supported by the Covid-19 Responses for Equity (CORE) Programme span several continents and are coordinated by leading research organisations with a detailed understanding of local food system dynamics and associated equity and livelihood issues in their regions: (1) the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa; (2) supporting small and medium enterprises, food security, and evolving social protection mechanisms to deal with Covid-19 in Pakistan; and (3) impact of Covid-19 on family farming and food security in Latin America: evidence-based public policy responses.

Global nutrition needs are increasing and aquatic foods have recently been identified as crucial in addressing many of the world’s urgent challenges, including hunger and malnutrition. This synthesis highlights the importance of aquatic foods as a source of protein, micronutrients and income, its potential to meet increasing food demands, as well as the challenges in aquatic food production and harvesting. Most importantly, it provides an overview of management initiatives and innovative solutions for secured sustainable access to aquatic foods in the future. Aquatic foods provide micronutrient-rich foods for 3.3 billion people and support the livelihoods of more than 800 million people. Small-scale fisheries, in particular, play a key role in supporting the diversity and nutritional benefits of aquatic foods. However, the capture and production of aquatic foods is not always sustainable, and access to these foods may be unequal. At the water-land nexus, new ways of producing aquatic foods hold the potential to reduce the climate footprint in the food system. The governance of, and investment in, aquatic food systems needs to aim to preserve, support and improve aquatic species diversity and to improve access to this highly nutritious food. These efforts need to include multiple stakeholders, such as fishers, community agencies, policy makers and researchers, and be firmly established in both the latest research and in a local/regional context - ecologically and socially. By incorporating different aspects of aquatic foods, this synthesis aims to inspire and inform the reader about the importance of these systems, and means for a sustainable way forward.

Across Ghana, mixed-crop-livestock enterprises dominate the farming systems with most farmers producing both food staples and non-food cash crops. However, this paper focuses mainly on oil palm-producing farmers because oil palm is Ghana’s second most important industrial crop (aside from cocoa). However, it has a more extensive local value chain that allows for artisanal processing and thus, has huge potential for rural employment generation and poverty reduction. Oil palm is also one of the priority crops under Ghana’s Food and Agriculture Sector Development Policy. This paper reviews the livelihood outcomes with regards to agricultural commercialisation and how this particularly relates to women’s empowerment and rural employment in the oil palm sector in Ghana.

Texto completo da fonte

Resumo:

Household food insecurity is a widely used concept in high-income countries to describe “uncertainty about future food availability and access, insufficiency in the amount and kind of food required for a healthy lifestyle, or the need to use socially unacceptable ways to acquire food.” (Anderson, 1990). In the UK, research focused on food insecurity was relatively rare before the rapid spread of food banks and growing usage from 2010 but since then, has burgeoned (Loopstra and Lambie-Mumford, 2023). There was very little peer-reviewed literature on the topic in the UK when DEFRA commissioned a Rapid Evidence Assessment of evidence on food aid in the UK (Lambie-Mumford et al 2014), but there is now an established field of research on household food insecurity and responses to it that spans disciplines including public health and nutrition, social policy, politics, geography, food policy and systems. Government monitoring of food insecurity has also evolved over this time, with the FSA first including a food insecurity measure into the Food and You survey in 2016, and the DWP including the same in the FRS from 2019/20. The Agriculture Act 2020 requires the UK government to report on food security to Parliament at least once every three years, and the UK Food Security Report that is produced to fulfil this duty now includes reporting on data from these government surveys (Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021). This rapidly developing field has resulted in a varied landscape of research and evidence on food insecurity. The FSA has an interest in advancing its research on household food insecurity in the UK as part of its strategy. The FSA works to protect consumers’ wider interests in relation to food, and the FSA strategy 2022-2027 recognises that people are worried about food affordability and insecurity and therefore they will continue to consider the impact of these issues across all work. To inform the FSA’s approach to future collaborations and research priorities on food insecurity in the UK, it was deemed a priority to first gain greater clarity on the scope of the research landscape already in existence in the UK. Thus, this research was commissioned to give the FSA an overview of household food insecurity data and the landscape of the type of research questions related to food insecurity that have been explored in the UK context. More specifically, the aims of the project were: to scope the landscape of research and data on household food insecurity in the UK, covering that produced by academia, civil society, and government departments and including publicly available datasets; and to identify the key gaps in the research landscape and inform priorities for the FSA’s work on household food insecurity going forward. Importantly, the task was not to describe the findings of this large body of research, but rather to identify the landscape of research questions asked in relation to food insecurity and the approaches taken to answer these. The areas focused on were research on definition, concept and measurement of food insecurity, drivers of individual/household-level access to food, experiences of different population sub-groups, outcomes related to food insecurity including those related to food safety, and responses to food insecurity at the national/local level (including those by third sector organisations and local and national governments).

Much of Yemen’s population needs basic assistance to avoid famine. As well as providing food and cash-based support during a decade of war, international aid actors have sustained and strengthened the capacities of local organisations involved. Yet these efforts have overlooked some capacities – particularly valuable skills for community engagement and accountability, seen as vital for inclusion and conflict sensitivity. As conflict in Yemen continues and aid budgets come under further pressure, this Policy Briefing offers a series of recommendations to improve the effectiveness of donor and aid agency support for local capacities for social assistance.

Kenya confirmed its first case of COVID-19 on 12 March 2020. Like many governments across the world, the Kenyan government implemented various measures aimed at slowing down local spread of the virus and cushioning the population against the negative economic effects of the pandemic and the associated policy restrictions. International organisations and researchers postulated that the measures would negatively affect economic activities and livelihoods, with undesirable implications for poverty and food insecurity. Particularly vulnerable would be populations in developing countries such as Kenya, where many people depend on food systems for their livelihoods, and the majority of those are smallholder farmers who often have low economic power. The objective of this rapid assessment was to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on the food system and the sub-set of the population largely dependent on agriculture in Kenya to inform actions that can assure protection of rural livelihoods and continued access to adequate and affordable food of acceptable quality to the population. This report presents results of that rapid assessment.
