Описание: This study presented in this report analysed the alignment of agriculture and trade policies and coordination between agriculture and trade policy-making processes in Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania and Zambia. The report calls for a more consistent approach to mainstreaming trade and marketing issues into agriculture policy planning, including strengthening technical capacity on agricultural trade and marketing where it is lacking. The study was conducted under a Multi-partner Programme Support Mechanism project in 2017.

Описание: Building on recent scholarship in the sociology of food, Claire Lamine uses in-depth case studies from France and Brazil to compile a critical survey of social science approaches to sustainability transitions in agrifood systems. Lamine addresses the diverse pathways of transition encountered across multiple levels, from the farm through farmers' networks and food chains, to the territorial scale of regions. She also explores the efforts made by those involved in the agricultural world to create new connections between agriculture, food, environment and health, while also taking social equity issues into account.Lamine's work adopts a comparative perspective to explore the translation of agroecology into government programmes and the specific modes of governance involved in France and Brazil - two countries that pioneer in implementing agroecology yet which differ both in visions and context. Providing new options for understanding the complex issue of agrifood transitions, this book will make an impact for those studying food systems, geography, sociology, politics and agriculture.

Описание: We are at a critical point in human history and that of the planet. In this book, a world leader in agricultural research, Professor Sayed Azam-Ali, proposes a radical transformation of our agrifood system. He argues that agriculture must be understood as part of global biodiversity and that food systems have cultural, nutritional, and social values beyond market price alone. He describes the perilous risks of relying on just four staple crops for most of our food and the consequences of our current agrifood model on human and planetary health.In plain language for the wider public, students, researchers, and policy makers, Azam-Ali envisions the agrifood system as a global public good in which its practitioners include a new and different generation of farmers, its production systems link novel and traditional technologies, and its activities encompass landscapes, urban spaces, and controlled environments. The book concludes with a call to action in which diversification of species, systems, knowledge, cultures, and products all contribute to The Ninth Revolution that will transform food systems for good.Related Link(s)

Описание: This handbook, addressed to Members of Parliament and Parliamentary Advisors, provides a comprehensive overview of the role that Parliamentarians can play in the creation of reliable, coherent, and transparent “enabling environments” in areas related to investment in agriculture and food systems.

After explaining the urgent need to enhance responsible investment in agriculture and food systems and showing how can it contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and national development, the book provides concrete actions that MPs and Parliamentary Advisors can implement in their countries to improve investments. These include assessing and ensuring consistency in legal and policy frameworks.

Moreover, to support parliamentarians and advisors in creating effective partnerships with other stakeholders, such as other parliamentarians, the private sector, civil society and academia, the last section of the publication provides tailored key messages that can be used in meetings, conferences and other kinds of communications such as reports, press releases, and social media. It includes useful explanations of how data and country-level statistics can support advocacy and communication activities.

Описание: Food for cities in Africa is changing under the triple effect of growth demography, urbanization and transformations in agricultural production and trade. These changes create risks: African cities increasingly face the challenges of undernutrition and malnutrition. But they also generate new opportunities: the economy food is the continent's main source of employment and will remain so in the near future, both to ensure agricultural production, agro-food processing and product distribution. At the center of this economy are the intermediaries market, which link producers and consumers, and whose ineffectiveness explains that about a third of the production evaporates in food losses.
