The document discusses the right to food in Canada. It notes that the right to food was first recognized internationally in 1948 and that Canada has signed agreements supporting this right, though it is not enshrined in Canadian law. It provides statistics showing that in 2000/01, 3.7 million Canadians experienced food insecurity and over 40% of low-income households reported issues affording or accessing enough food. The document also examines factors contributing to increased hunger in Canada like economic restructuring, government and social responses, and international trade policies. Finally, it argues that a human rights framework could help strengthen food security.
This presentation summarises the right to food achievements in the world, with special emphasis on Latin America´s remarkable progress. The text presents lessons learned and political challenges, explaining in detail paradigm, normative, operational & legal barriers to its full implementation. Concrete proposals to sustain the right to food in the international arena as well as urban areas are presented. Food as a legal claim collides with food as a commodity and this is the root of the challenges.
This document provides an overview of progress toward achieving the Millennium Development Goals. It highlights that lives have been improved through reductions in poverty, disease, and mortality. Key accomplishments include reducing malaria deaths by 20% worldwide, increasing access to HIV treatment by over 1.2 million people, successfully treating 41 million tuberculosis patients, and increasing access to clean drinking water for over 1.8 billion people globally. While progress has been made, more work is still needed to fully achieve the Millennium Development Goals by 2015.
In 2000, 193 nations agreed to eight Millennium Development Goals aimed at improving human well-being by 2015. The eight goals addressed eradicating poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary education, promoting gender equality, reducing child mortality, improving maternal health, combating HIV/AIDS and other diseases, ensuring environmental sustainability, and developing a global partnership for development. Progress has been made in reducing poverty and increasing access to clean water, but more work remains as the 2015 deadline approaches. Various UN agencies monitor and work to implement the different goals.

While considerable progress has been made in many areas, more work remains to fully achieve all of the Millennium Development Goals by the 2015 deadline.
This document discusses the right to adequate food in international human rights law and its implications. It provides an overview of key documents that have helped establish this right, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It outlines the three levels of obligations states have - to respect, protect, and fulfill the right to adequate food. The document also examines how several countries have incorporated this right into domestic law and developed national strategies to progressively realize the right, with implications for development cooperation, governance, and indicators to monitor compliance.
The document discusses the right to food as a fundamental human right recognized by the UN and in many constitutions. It defines the right to food as including food resources needed for production. Governments have obligations to respect, protect, and fulfill the right to food for those unable to feed themselves, including providing access to food and taking socioeconomic steps. Governments must also provide remedies for violations and cooperate in emergencies to prevent mass starvation. The document examines how some governments have incorporated the right to food into legislation and acknowledges related rights and monitoring bodies. It also discusses cases in India where the Supreme Court has intervened to protect the right to food.

The document discusses the Millennium Development Goals established in 2000 to improve human development by 2015. It outlines the 8 goals and related targets and indicators to measure progress in reducing poverty, hunger, disease, lack of education, and gender inequality. While some progress was made, many targets are unlikely to be met given uneven progress across regions, with sub-Saharan Africa in particular continuing to face many challenges in improving health, education, and development standards.
The document outlines the eight Millennium Development Goals agreed upon by all United Nations member states and major development organizations. The goals aim to reduce extreme poverty, hunger, disease, and gender inequality while promoting education, environmental sustainability, and global partnerships by the target date of 2015. Each goal contains specific targets to measure progress made on that issue, such as halving the proportion of people living on less than $1.25 per day and the under-five mortality rate. The full achievement of these ambitious but feasible targets would significantly improve life for billions of people.

An overview of the current process and its implications for UNESCO. Slides from one of the presentations at the General Conference this year during the first two weeks of November when over 190 countries send their delegates to address the business of UNESCO – educational, scientific and cultural.
The right to food is a fundamental human right recognized internationally in 1948 and reinforced since. It guarantees regular access to adequate and sufficient food that ensures a dignified life free from hunger. States have obligations to respect, protect, and fulfill this right. For Bangladesh, this means adopting a legal framework and rights-based social safety net, addressing challenges like inequality, and coordinating food security efforts.
The latest FAO estimates indicate that global hunger reduction continues: about 805 million people are estimated to be chronically undernourished in 2012–14, down more than 100 million over the last decade, and 209 million lower than in 1990–92. In the same period,
the prevalence of undernourishment has fallen from 18.7 to 11.3 percent globally and from 23.4 to 13.5 percent for developing countries.
Millennium Development Goal progress report 2014, The
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were a pledge
to uphold the principles of human dignity, equality and
equity, and free the world from extreme poverty. The
MDGs, with eight goals and a set of measurable timebound
targets, established a blueprint for tackling the
most pressing development challenges of our time. This report examines the latest progress towards
achieving the MDGs. It reaffirms that the MDGs
have made a profound difference in people’s lives.
Global poverty has been halved five years ahead of
the 2015 timeframe. Ninety per cent of children in
developing regions now enjoy primary education, and
disparities between boys and girls in enrolment have
narrowed. Remarkable gains have also been made in
the fight against malaria and tuberculosis, along with
improvements in all health indicators. The likelihood of
a child dying before age five has been nearly cut in half
over the last two decades. That means that about 17,000
children are saved every day. We also met the target
of halving the proportion of people who lack access to
improved sources of water.
This document provides options for businesses to support the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in the Philippines. It contains information on strategic programs identified by MDG clusters to help achieve the targets. The programs address areas like poverty reduction, education, health, and environment sustainability. They include details on costs, targets, partners and a directory of implementing organizations. The publication aims to offer choices for businesses to align their corporate social responsibility initiatives with the MDGs through core business, social investment, and policy advocacy.
The document discusses the progress made towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals in the Philippines. It provides details on the status and challenges in goals related to eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary education, promoting gender equality, reducing child mortality, improving maternal health, combating HIV/AIDS and other diseases, ensuring environmental sustainability, and developing a global partnership for development. While some goals have seen improvements, such as reductions in poverty, child mortality and malaria, other goals like improving maternal health and achieving universal primary education face significant challenges and may not be fully achieved by 2015.
This document summarizes the goals and progress of Ethiopia in eradicating extreme poverty and hunger as outlined in the Millennium Development Goals. It provides context on the definition and causes of poverty in Ethiopia and describes the country's development plans including Agricultural Development Led Industrialization, the PASDEP, and the GTP which aim to achieve rapid economic growth to reduce poverty. While Ethiopia has made progress in decreasing its poverty rate and expanding infrastructure, it still faces challenges from climate change, global price fluctuations, and rising urban poverty that threaten its ability to fully eradicate extreme poverty and hunger by 2015.
Millenium Development Goals & PopulationStay Alive
This document discusses how population growth relates to achieving the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. It argues that population growth in developing nations makes achieving the goals of reducing poverty and hunger by 2015 very difficult. Providing access to reproductive healthcare and education for women are seen as crucial steps to slow population growth and allow the goals to be met. The conclusion restates that the goals of the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development, such as universal access to education and reproductive healthcare, must be achieved in order to both eradicate poverty and accomplish the Millennium Development Goals.

FAO's initiatives include: 1) Strengthening of capacities for developing coherent policy frameworks and investment programmes for sustainable food security and nutrition
2)Developing efficient evidence-based food security information systems for decision support systems; 3) Promoting the development of efficient and sustainable food systems with specific attention to reducing food losses and waste; 4)Promoting sustainable access of households to safe, nutritious and diversified food; 4)Building the resilience of households and communities and agro-eco systemsto anticipate, absorb and recover from the negative impacts of the man-made and natural shockswith Cash-for-Work and Food Production Assistance Programs.
This document summarizes current thinking on food system governance. It discusses how governance involves guiding and regulating different aspects of the food system, including land use, commodity chains, science/technology, and culture. Issues discussed include nutritional inequalities, competition over dietary diversity, and the complex nutrition transition. The document also examines how value chains are increasingly controlled by a few major actors and how standards like GlobalGap can both benefit and disadvantage suppliers. It reviews the roles of different international organizations and agreements in shaping food system governance.

Food and Nutrition Security in Small Island Developing StatesFAO
The document summarizes food and nutrition security challenges in small island developing states (SIDS) and FAO's response programs. It finds that many SIDS have high levels of undernourishment, poverty, and non-communicable diseases associated with diets. Natural disasters also negatively impact their economies and food security. FAO is working with SIDS on issues of food/nutrition strategies, poverty reduction, agriculture revitalization, climate change adaptation, and disaster risk management. Its goal is to support national efforts and strengthen partnerships to improve food security in SIDS.
International world food day A Presentation By Mr. Allah Dad Khan on 16th Oct...Mr.Allah Dad Khan
The document provides background information on the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). It details that FAO was founded in 1943 and formally established in 1945 to help countries modernize and improve agriculture, forestry, and fisheries practices. FAO aims to achieve global food security and serves both developed and developing member countries. The document outlines FAO's goals and initiatives to end hunger and malnutrition through sustainable management of natural resources. It also discusses the annual World Food Day celebration and themes related to social protection, agriculture, and breaking the cycle of rural poverty.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Bill Jeffery on public health nutrition and advocacy efforts in Canada. Some key points:
- Diet-related diseases cause significant avoidable deaths and economic losses in Canada. On average, nearly 5 years of healthy life are lost due to poor diet.
- An estimated 48,000 premature deaths annually in Canada are caused by diet-related diseases like heart disease and diabetes. This costs $5-30 billion per year.
- The goal is to reduce diet-related disease deaths by 25% by 2025, in line with WHO targets. This would require around 48,000 fewer deaths annually.
- CSPI advocates for policies like reducing sodium in foods, banning ads
The Sustainable Development Goals have neglected the consideration of food as a fully-fledged human rights and thus they treat it as a simple commodity. We analyse the consequences of that political agreement and the US and EU stances vis a vis the right to food. Finally, we recommend a re-consideration of food as a right, a commons and a public good to achieve the Zero Hunger Goal by 2030.
The document summarizes a meeting about parliamentary monitoring of food and nutrition security policies. It provides statistics on food insecurity in Latin America and the Caribbean. It then describes the Free-Hunger Initiative and the Parliamentary Front Against Hunger, a network of over 400 parliamentarians from 21 countries working to address food insecurity. Several examples are given of good practices and laws promoted by the Front, including school feeding programs in Guatemala and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Partnerships with organizations like the FAO, AECID, and regional parliamentary bodies are also mentioned.
The document proposes a policy framework called the Canadian Food Action Plan (CFAP) to create a national food policy for Canada that supports sustainable agriculture and alleviates poverty. It discusses how past Canadian food policies have failed to adequately address social and environmental issues. The CFAP was developed with input from food studies academics and organizations concerned with food security, sustainability, and poverty. It aims to establish an integrated national food policy that ensures all Canadians can afford healthy food while also promoting sustainable farming practices.
Glennah Trochet, MD, public health policy expert, spoke on how food policy influences our eating habits and choices and how we can improve our nutrition by changing food policy.

This document outlines the socio-cultural dimension of sustainable development. It discusses key concepts like the socio-cultural aspects of sustainable development and definitions of poverty and sustainable development. It also lists international organizations that work on these issues like the IPCC, UNESCO, and WFP. Additionally, it provides details on programs and projects from the Philippines that promote the socio-cultural aspects of sustainable development, such as education initiatives, social protection programs, and local arts and culture projects funded by the NCCA.
The document discusses food security challenges in the Near East and North Africa region. It notes that the region faces issues like limited water resources, high population growth, and dependence on food imports. To address these challenges, the document recommends a three pillar approach: 1) strengthening safety nets and access to resources, 2) enhancing domestic food supplies through investment, and 3) reducing market volatility through improved infrastructure and financial instruments. The global community has made reducing hunger a priority, and organizations like FAO are taking an integrated approach focused on sustainable resource management and nutrition to help food insecure regions.
Michael Moore, president of the World Federation of Public Health Associations, discusses progress on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their relation to health and well-being. The document outlines several SDGs including those related to poverty, hunger, climate action, water and sanitation, and consumption and production. It notes ongoing challenges to achieving the goals in these areas by 2030. The document argues that public health is inherently political and requires coordinated global action. It highlights some countries' efforts to integrate health across policies to better achieve the SDGs.
The document discusses growing inequality between wealthy nations and poor nations. Some key points:
- 80% of the world's population lives on only 20% of global income. The U.S. uses 30% of resources with only 5% of population.
- The World Bank defines extreme poverty as living on less than $1.25 per day. 1.4 billion people live in extreme poverty.
- Literacy rates, malnutrition rates, and lack of access to health care are indicators of poverty levels within and between countries.
Our body compulsory demands food, water and air to keep its vital functions and yet their economic nature is rather diverse with food mostly considered a private good, water suffering an accelerated privatization process and air so far considered a global common good. Food has evolved from a common good and local resource to a national asset and then to a transnational commodity as the commodification process is rather completed nowadays. Cultivated food is fully privatized and this consideration means that human beings can eat food as long as they have money to but it or means to produce it. With the dominant no money-no food rationality, hunger still prevails in a world of abundance. In order to provide a sound foundation for the transition towards sustainable food systems, the very nature of food as a pure private good is contested and subsequently reversed in this paper, proposing a re-conceptualisation of food as a common good, a necessary narrative for the redesign of the dominating agro-industrial food system that merely sees food as a tradable commodity. This aspirational transition shall lead us to a more sustainable, fairer and farmer-centred food system. The idea of the commons is applied to food, deconstructing food as a pure private good and reconstructing it as an impure commons that can be better produced and distributed by a hybrid tri-centric governance system compounded by market rules, public regulations and collective actions. Several food-related elements are already considered as common goods (i.e. fish stocks, wild fruits, cuisine recipes, agricultural knowledge, food safety regulations and unpatented genetic resources) as well as food’s implications (hunger eradication) and benefits (public health and good nutrition). Should food and be consider as a commons, the implications for the governance of the global food system would be enormous, with examples ranging from placing food outside the framework agreements dealing with pure private goods, banning financial speculation on food commodities or preparing international binding agreements to govern the production, distribution and access of food to every human being.

Hunger and Malnutrition in the countries of the Association of Caribbean Stat...Onyema Onwuka
This document provides an analysis of hunger and malnutrition in the countries of the Association of Caribbean States (ACS). It finds that while the region produces enough food to meet the needs of over three times its population, 53 million people still lack access to sufficient food. Rates of undernourishment, malnutrition, and micronutrient deficiencies vary widely between countries. Achieving the Millennium Development Goals of eradicating extreme poverty and hunger by 2015 remains a challenge for many ACS nations. The report identifies vulnerable groups, economic costs of malnutrition, current food policies and programs, and recommendations to maximize their effectiveness.

The document discusses standards of living and key indicators used to measure human development such as GDP, life expectancy, and literacy rates. It compares standards of living in developing countries like Mali, newly industrialized countries like India and China, and developed countries like the US and Japan. Developing countries have low infrastructure and rely on cash crops or commodities, while newly industrialized countries are building infrastructure and industries. The document also examines causes of poverty in developing countries such as debt, lack of education, and infectious diseases, as well as responses like debt relief, international aid, and work by organizations like UNICEF and WHO.
In 2011 Cuba approved a new economic policy with the purpose of relaunching its economy while preserving the main social achievements of the socialist model. The bet is high enough to raise doubts and questions around the success of such a major economic transformation. The reality is that, in spite of fears and resistances against the “updating” of the Cuban economic model, domestic changes are mandatory in order to build up a prosper and sustainable socialism, idea that President Raúl Castro has promoted as the core and key goal of the socioeconomic changes. This presentation explores the current relations of Cuba and the CARICOM countries as well as the expected changes this relationship may undergo in the near future.

Agenda of the 5th NENA Soil Partnership meetingFAO
The Fifth meeting of the Near East and North African (NENA) Soil Partnership will take place from 1-2 April 2019 in Cairo, Egypt. The objectives of the meeting are to consolidate the NENA Soil Partnership, review the work plan, organize activities to establish National Soil Information Systems, agree to launch a Regional Soil Laboratory for NENA, and strengthen networking. The meeting agenda includes discussions on soil information systems, a soil laboratory network, and implementing the Voluntary Guidelines for Sustainable Soil Management. The performance of the NENA Soil Partnership will also be assessed and future strategies developed.
This document summarizes the proceedings of the first meeting of the Global Soil Laboratory Network (GLOSOLAN). GLOSOLAN was established to harmonize soil analysis methods and strengthen the performance of laboratories through standardized protocols. The meeting discussed the role of National Reference Laboratories in promoting harmonization, and how GLOSOLAN is structured with regional networks feeding into the global network. Progress made in 2018 included registering over 200 laboratories, assessing capacities and needs, and establishing regional networks. The work plan for 2019 includes further developing regional networks, standard methods, a best practice manual, and the first global proficiency testing. The document concludes by outlining next steps to launch the regional network for North Africa and the Near East.
Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

5. “ Good Governance is
perhaps the single most
important factor in
eradicating poverty and
promoting development”
Kofi Annan, UN Secretary
General, HDR, 2002
6. We are going to create conditions in
which all people in our country can
eat decently three times a day,
every day, without needing gifts
from anyone. Brazil cannot continue
living with such inequality. We must
defeat hunger, poverty and social
exclusion. Our war is not to kill
anyone – it is to save lives.
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva,
Inaugural address, January 1, 2003.
7. No universally accepted definition of “good/democratic
governance” but broad agreement that the key
components are:
A process of decision-making and implementation; it
holds a meaning broader than “government”; it
articulates how interests are accommodated and
power is exercised in society; it includes formal and
informal rules
The quality dimensions of governance include:
accountability, participation, transparency and the
respect of the rule of law.
8. In 1995 the Inter-Parliamentary Union assembled
experts from various regions and disciplines to
develop an international standard on democracy.
Building on this work, the Universal Declaration on
Democracy was adopted in 1997.
Democracy is based on two core principles: participation
and accountability. Everyone has the right to participate in
the management of public affairs. Likewise, everyone has
the right to access information on government activities, to
petition government and to seek redress through impartial
administrative and judicial mechanisms.
9. Governance describes the institutions, rules,
norms through which policies are developed
and implemented and through which
accountability is enforced. (UNESCO, 2009)
10. A Right -- A Covenant – A Commitment
• 1948 – Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 25: 1. Everyone has
the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of
himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care
and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of
unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of
livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.
• 1966: International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights,
Article 11: 1. – The States Parties to the present Covenant recognize the right
of everyone to an adequate standard of living for himself and his family,
including adequate food, clothing and housing, and to the continuous
improvement of living conditions. The States Parties will take appropriate steps
to ensure the realization of this right, recognizing to this effect the essential
importance of international co-operation based on free consent.
• 2004: The FAO COUNCIL adopted the Right to Food Guidelines to support the
progressive realization of the right to adequate food in the context of national
food security based on the International Covenant.
11. •2006 – Brazil: The Food Security and Nutrition Act – created SISAN
& CONSEA, emphasizing synergies between the Ministries of Health,
Education, Agriculture and Labour.
• 2007 – Colombia : National Food Security Policy - based on the
ReSA Food Security Network Programme, promoted social and
community participation and organization, institutionalizing food
security and nutrition (civil society)
• 2009 - El Salvador: National Council on Food Security - founded in
2010, along with the formulation of the National Food Security and
Nutrition Policy (a programme of comprehensive nutritional care at
the community level, for expectant mothers, infants and children
under the age of two).
• 2009 – Nicaragua: Law of Food Security, Nutrition and Food
Sovereignty passed, and an inclusive fair trade market created.
National Commitments
12. • 2005 – Latin America and the Caribbean Zero Hunger
Programme; Salvador de Bahia Declaration (2008) –
commitment by 33 countries in the region to the FAO

Estos derechos se definen como el conjunto de todos los grupos de productos sobre los cuales una persona puede tener dominio en virtud de acuerdos jurídicos, políticos, económicos y sociales de la comunidad en que vive (comprendidos los derechos tradicionales, como el acceso a los recursos colectivos). Usage of food /UtilizaciónUtilización biológica de los alimentos a través de una alimentación adecuada, agua potable, sanidad y atención médica, para lograr un estado de bienestar nutricional en el que se satisfagan todas las necesidades fisiológicas.Este concepto pone de relieve la importancia de los insumos no alimentarios en la seguridad alimentaria.Stabiity of foodsupply /EstabilidadPara tener seguridad alimentaria, una población, un hogar o una persona deben tener acceso a alimentos adecuados en todo momento. No deben correr el riesgo de quedarse sin acceso a los alimentos a consecuencia de crisis repentinas (por ej., una crisis económica o climática) ni de acontecimientos cíclicos (como la inseguridad alimentaria estacional). De esta manera, el concepto de estabilidad se refiere tanto a la dimensión de la disponibilidad como a la del acceso de la seguridad alimentaria.
100% access to adequate food all year round Enabling all people to access the food they need at all times through nutrition-sensitive agriculture and food systems, marketing, decent and productive employment, a social protection floor, targeted safety nets and food assistance; boosting food supply from local producers; through open, fair and well-functioning markets and trade policies at local, regional and international level, preventing excessive food price volatility . Zero stunted children less than 2 years Ensuring universal access to nutritious food in the 1000 day window of opportunity between the start of pregnancy and a child’s second birthday, supported by nutrition-sensitive health care, water, sanitation, education and specific nutrition interventions, coupled with initiatives that enable empowerment of women, as encouraged within the Movement for Scaling Up Nutrition. All food systems are sustainable Ensuring that all farmers, agribusinesses, cooperatives, governments, unions and civil society establish standards for sustainability; verifying their observance and being accountable for them; encouraging and rewarding universal adoption of sustainable and climate-resilient agriculture practices; pursuing cross-sectoral policy coherence (encompassing energy, land use, water and climate); implementing responsible governance of land, fisheries and forests. 100% increase in smallholder productivity and income Reducing rural poverty and improving wellbeing through encouraging decent work, and increasing smallholders’ income; empowering women, small farmers, fishers, pastoralists, young people, farmer organizations, indigenous people and their communities; improving land tenure, their access to assets and to natural resources, making sure that all investments in agriculture and value chains are responsible and accountable; developing multidimensional indicators for people’s resilience and wellbeing. Zero loss or waste of food Minimizing food losses during storage and transport, and waste of food by retailers and consumers; empowering consumer choice through appropriate labeling; commitments by producers, retailers and consumers within all nations; achieving progress through financial incentives, collective pledges, locally-relevant technologies and changed behavior .
