DIVERSIFOOD Final Congress - Session 1 - Diversity and sustainability within ...diversifoodproject
Agroecology enhances dietary diversity through regenerating genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity on farms. This increases the availability, quality, and access to diverse foods. Diversifying crops and livestock in agroecosystems renders populations more resilient to problems. Functional biodiversity also reduces pests and diseases while enhancing dietary options. Agroecological practices and markets build alternative food networks that reconnect producers and consumers locally, promoting access to diverse diets. However, agroecology requires transformational changes to support farmers' material security and participation in research.

The document summarizes the NOVIC (Northern Organic Vegetable Improvement Collaborative) project which aims to develop new vegetable varieties suited for organic agriculture through participatory plant breeding. The project involves conducting variety trials with farmers, improving availability of organic seed, and training graduate students in organic plant breeding. Over 12 varieties have been released through the project focusing on crops like broccoli, squash and tomatoes. Breeding efforts have led to gains in traits like plant height, time to flowering, ear length and quality for sweet corn varieties. The breeding work continues with a focus on traits like weed suppression and earworm resistance.

Biocultural heritage territories and the in situ conservation of plant genetic resources: China case, from PPB to Farmer Seed Network
Yiching Song - Center for Chinese Agricultural Plicy (CCAP)/Chinese Acadamy of Sciences (CAS)
World agriculture is facing its biggest challenge due to population growth and climate change. Crop diversity is critical for adapting to these challenges but many varieties have been lost. The Crop Trust works to conserve crop diversity globally to ensure food security. A new initiative called DivSeek aims to facilitate open access to genomic and phenotypic data associated with genebank collections through common data standards. This will help breeders develop climate-resilient crops and address food insecurity.
The document outlines an approach called Farming First that aims to enhance sustainable development through agriculture. It argues that smallholder and women farmers must play a central role in increasing global food production to feed a growing population, while protecting the environment. The framework highlights six interlinked imperatives needed to achieve this: 1) safeguarding natural resources, 2) sharing knowledge, 3) building local access and capacity, 4) protecting harvests, 5) enabling access to markets, and 6) prioritizing agricultural research. The goal is to transition subsistence farmers into small-scale entrepreneurs through knowledge sharing, sustainable practices, and improved local infrastructure and markets.
African leafy vegetables are an important part of food diversity and culture in Kenya. The African Leafy Vegetables project worked to promote ALVs from 1996-2006 through various activities. Phase 1 involved documenting ALV species, identifying constraints, and prioritizing vegetables. Phase 2 focused on improving seed quality, distribution, and farmer training. Promotional activities generated interest, leading to increased supermarket and market sales as well as economic opportunities for smallholder farmers. The project demonstrated that promoting underutilized crops can boost nutrition, incomes, and agrobiodiversity conservation.
This document outlines crop diversity in Ethiopia and strategies for conservation. It discusses that Ethiopia has significant crop diversity as a center of origin for many plants. It notes major crops like coffee, tef, and minor crops. It then explains the importance of conserving crop diversity for food security, environment, and economy. The document outlines in-situ and ex-situ conservation strategies and their benefits and challenges. It emphasizes that crop diversity provides genes for improving crops and meeting human needs.
Linking public procurement and sustainable production systems: opportunities ...FAO
This document outlines opportunities for linking public food procurement programs to sustainable agricultural production systems in sub-Saharan Africa. It discusses the potential for public demand to support smallholder farmers through predictable purchases. Case studies from Niger and Senegal show purchases from farmers organizations increased productivity and farmer incomes. However, scaling up poses challenges as enabling policies, services and regulations are also needed to operationalize procurement considering production objectives. While public demand may incentivize sustainable practices, other supports are likely required. The relative size of procurement compared to total supply is also important to consider impacts and tradeoffs between objectives of price and promotion of certain farming methods.
This document describes a project in Lesotho that used keyhole gardens to improve food and nutrition security for orphans and HIV/AIDS-affected children. Keyhole gardens are low-cost, low-maintenance raised bed gardens that provide high yields of vegetables year-round. The project trained communities to build and maintain keyhole gardens, complemented with livestock, hygiene and food processing interventions. An evaluation found that keyhole gardens increased household food availability and dietary diversity and the intervention strengthened social networks. The experience demonstrates how low-cost home gardening approaches can successfully address food insecurity when implemented through community participation and capacity building.

The document provides an overview of Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS). It defines GIAHS as remarkable land use systems that are rich in biological diversity and have evolved through the co-adaptation of communities with their environments and needs over long periods of time. The document outlines the criteria for GIAHS designation, including contributions to food/livelihood security and maintenance of biodiversity. It also discusses threats facing these systems and strategies for dynamic conservation, as well as recent developments in GIAHS, such as new designated sites and regional workshops.

The document discusses climate action as an integral part of Finland's upcoming National Food Strategy. The strategy's vision is that by 2030, Finnish consumers will eat tasty, healthy, and sustainably produced food. The strategy outlines Finland's Climate Programme for Agriculture, which includes 76 measures to promote climate-friendly food production. Key measures involve carbon sequestration in soil, sustainable management of peatlands, plant breeding, and reducing food waste. The strategy also emphasizes nutrient recycling, public procurement of sustainable food, and promoting plant-based and legume-rich diets in line with nutritional guidelines.
This document provides information on the Horizon 2020 Work Programme for 2016-2017 regarding Societal Challenge 2 on food security, sustainable agriculture, and the bioeconomy. It outlines the structure and contents of the work programme, including its four calls on sustainable food security, blue growth, rural renaissance, and bio-based innovation. The sustainable food security call has a budget of €431.5 million and focuses on resilient and resource-efficient value chains in primary production, the food industry, and healthy foods/diets. It includes topics on plant/animal health, breeding, aquaculture, and international cooperation with Africa and China.
This document discusses the European Bioeconomy Challenges initiative and its focus on food security, sustainable agriculture, forestry, and aquatic resources. It outlines the goals of increasing production efficiency while ensuring environmental sustainability. It also describes the initiative's four main challenges: 1) sustainable agriculture and forestry, 2) a sustainable agri-food sector for healthy diets, 3) unlocking the potential of aquatic resources, and 4) sustainable and competitive bio-based industries. The document provides details on specific topics addressed under each of these four challenges.
This document summarizes a presentation on nutrients and food sustainability given by Chris Thornton of the European Sustainable Phosphorus Platform. The presentation discusses how nutrients are essential for food production but are also a finite resource. It highlights phosphate rock as a non-renewable resource and how improved nutrient recycling can help ensure future food security and environmental protection. Specific success stories of nutrient recycling from waste streams, improved agricultural practices, and industry innovations are presented. Challenges for the food and beverage industry in adopting nutrient stewardship and recycling are also discussed.
The document discusses a global awareness campaign for agricultural biodiversity called "Diversity for Life" launched by Bioversity International. The campaign aims to create a global movement around agricultural biodiversity by raising awareness with policymakers, schools, and media. It discusses ongoing and planned activities in multiple countries that involve developing school curricula, oral history projects conducted by students, and cultural events to highlight the importance of agricultural biodiversity for nutrition, health, culture and adapting to climate change.

A Review on Recent Advances of Packaging in Food IndustryPriyankaKilaniya
Effective food packaging provides number of purposes. It functions as a container to hold and transport the food product, as well as a barrier to protect the food from outside contamination such as water, light, odours, bacteria, dust, and mechanical damage by maintaining the food quality. The package may also include barriers to keep the product's moisture content or gas composition consistent. Furthermore, convenience is vital role in packaging, and the desire for quick opening, dispensing, and resealing packages that maintain product quality until fully consumed is increasing. To facilitate trading, encourage sales, and inform on content and nutritional attributes, the packaging must be communicative. For storage of food there is huge scope for modified atmosphere packaging, intelligent packaging, active packaging, and controlled atmosphere packaging. Active packaging has a variety of uses, including carbon dioxide absorbers and emitters, oxygen scavengers, antimicrobials, and moisture control agents. Smart packaging is another term for intelligent packaging. Edible packaging, self-cooling and self-heating packaging, micro packaging, and water-soluble packaging are some of the advancements in package material.
