IFPRI- CSISA organized a one day high level policy roundtable on Sustainable Intensification in India’s Risk-Prone Ecologies: Investment strategies for productivity growth, resource conservation, and climate risk management” on May 19, 2014 in New Delhi.
This roundtable, brings together a high-level small group of individuals from the corporate, government, and research sectors to address one of India’s most urgent challenges to food security and economic growth—how to encourage private sector investment in accelerating productivity growth in India’s risk-prone ecologies while simultaneously conserving the environment.
There are solutions already in farmers’ fields and rural markets that respond to these challenges, and this Roundtable will highlight recent advances, for example: innovative financial products and information services for small-scale farmers; diagnostic tools for managing water and soil nutrient scarcity; custom-hired resource-conserving machinery for small farms; crop diversification and high-value marketing strategies; and stress-resistant wheat and rice varieties. But the search for solutions is far from complete. This Roundtable is meant to engage participants in a rapid-fire discussion of recent technical solutions in Indian agriculture, the prospects for policy change, and corporate outlooks for the next five years. The purpose is to help public and private sector players to identify common investment strategies, forge partnerships, and chalk out collaborative efforts to effect technological, market, and policy improvements in India’s risk prone ecologies.

Value Chain Development to reduce Food Losses by Katarina Eriksson, TetraPak SIANI
Presented as part of the Side Event at CFS 41: "Collaboration-Led Waste Reduction: From Producer to Consumer".
In Sweden, Government policy supporting collaborations intended to reduce food waste and production losses has been a great success. In part, due to the specific policy for Global Development (PGD) which supports the creation of platforms for knowledge exchange and multi-sectoral collaboration. This side event will present a number of examples of this policy-led collaboration from the Swedish context relating to the reduction of food waste and production losses throughout the whole food chain, on a global scale.

• Carrying out of Activities
• Conclusions
3. Introduction
WorldFish has distributed planting vines of Orange Fleshed Sweet Potato (OFSP) as a
part of the CSISA and IFAD Project.
Some OFSP are high in vitamin A , introduced as a new vegetable in homestead
gardens for improving nutrition of women and young children.
Vitamin A deficiency is a nutritional problem in Bangladesh. Vitamin A can be stored in
the body and therefore seasonal consumption is not a problem.
Both roots and leaves are being promoted for consumption.
Sweet potato (SP) is not a staple food in the Bangladeshi diet. Requires minimal
management; can grow on marginal soils and is saline-tolerant. SP is an important crop
for disaster relief.
OFSP integrates well in aquatic agricultural systems, cultivated on dykes of ghers and
ponds.
The introduction of OFSP, in particular combined with other foods such as nutrient-rich
small indigenous fish, holds great potential for improving nutrition and generate income
among rural households.
4. Objectives
Introduction of OFSP as a vitamin A-rich vegetable
in the homestead garden and dykes of ghers and
ponds to improve nutrition and generate incomes
.
5. UNDERTAKEN ACTIVITIES
Value Chain Activities
• Training on OFSP cultivation and
Production propagation
• Acceptability studies of consumption
roots and leaves
Consumption • Analysis of nutrient composition
• Small market of OFSP Leaves and
roots
Marketing • Big market of vines
6. Undertaken Activities
PRODUCTION
• Training on cultivation of OFSP (80% households did not
know)
• Planted October- November 2011. Harvest: leaves January-
April, roots - April.
8. Undertaken Activities
Production Participants
• CSISA: 568 households
(predominantly smallholder marginal
and women farmers involved in small
scale aquaculture.
• IFAD funded Fish and Nutrition
Project
(Rangpur, Dinajpur): 64 Households
• Helen Keller International (HKI)
(Khagrachari): 21 Households
9. Undertaken Activities
Production OFSP Varieties
• Three varieties of OFSP were planted. Total vines 63,500
• SP4 (medium vitamin A and low dry matter) SP7 (low vitamin A
and high dry matter) and SP8 (low vitamin A and high dry matter).
BARI SP4 BARI SP7 BARI SP8
(orange flesh (cream flesh and (pale orange flesh
and skin) yellow skin) and red skin)
10. Undertaken Activities
CONSUMPTION
Cooking Demonstrations
• The OFSP leaves and roots were prepared using local
methods and ingredients.
11. Undertaken Activities
Consumption
Acceptability study
• The tasting evaluation of
the OFSP leaves and roots
by women and young
children.
12.
13. Undertaken Activities
Production Acceptability
• OFSP requires minimal labor, fertilizer and pesticide; saline-tolerant
and grow on marginal soils.
• Problems: Weevils. Late planting. Vines theft (leaves).
17. Carrying out of Activities
• Increase number of hh with OFSP. Last year 653 hh, this
year 2580
• 49% coming from Households production, 51% BRAC
Projects Total Vines Total # beneficiaries
CSISA 138500 1385
FtF Aqua 39000 390
IFAD 40500 405
HKI 40000 400
Total 258000 2580
18. Carrying out of Activities
• M&E - Data collection for economic analysis of OFSP
performance: production, costs and incomes.
• Nutritional value of sweet potato leaves and roots, raw
and cooked samples.
• Propagation of sweet potato vines from the households
that planted OFSP to continue planted for the next
season.
• Get more get Nutrient rich varieties of OFSP in
collaboration with CIP.
19. Conclusions
• The positive acceptance of women in growing OFSP for consumption and
market gives a good potential for inclusion in aquatic agricultural systems.
• Growing OFSP is beneficial, it requires minimal labor and inputs (fertilizer
and pesticide). It can be planted on little land like homestead garden, dykes
of ponds, and integrate well in aquaculture agricultural systems.
• OFSP is a dual purpose crop as both leaves and roots can be eaten, and
can be included in the daily meal of the families to improve their nutrition.
• The marketing of roots, leaves and vines is great potential for generation
incomes.
• Working with partners to select suitable OFSP varieties with high vitamin A
content in both leaves and roots, which can be recommended as nutrient –
rich foods to complement local meals of hh.
