The document discusses how open data can help agricultural organizations and the Ministry of Rural Development and Food in Greece. It describes a cooperative growing stevia that faces challenges around food safety standards, processing facility location, organic production investment, and pricing. Open data like educational resources, standards, maps, and market/weather data could help address these. A food safety knowledge portal is proposed to aggregate these open data sources. The Ministry also requires open data to determine investing in new crops like stevia, including irrigation/land maps, production statistics, and equipment/import information. The showcase aims to demonstrate these use cases through a demo portal indexing open educational and job profile data for food safety topics.

21 September 2015. The Hague. This workshop was co-organised by the Netherlands Ministries of Foreign and Economic Affairs, CGIAR Consortium, World Agroforestry Center (ICRAF), The Dutch Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH), the Netherlands Development Organisation (SNV) and the Food & Business Knowledge Platform
This document summarizes lessons learned from the PAEPARD program, which built partnerships between African and European stakeholders in agricultural research for development. It discusses four instruments the program used: consortia between researchers and users, incentive funds for consortia, competitive funds, and communication/capacity strengthening. Key lessons included: partnerships require time to build trust; funding is necessary but not sufficient for innovation - small funds can trigger innovation; capacity for dialogue and communication are important for successful partnerships; and ownership of partnerships is still an issue.
The document summarizes a conference on new directions for smallholder agriculture. It discusses trends in agriculture including rising productivity and the shift from craft to industry. It examines farming systems in different regions, noting challenges for small farmers like lack of access to credit and markets. The document calls for science and technologies tailored for smallholders, and roles for both the private sector in investment and supply chains, and public sector in knowledge and cooperatives. It concludes with recommendations like increased investment in agriculture and research, and strengthened institutions and entrepreneurship.
This document discusses whether Europe needs a food policy. It outlines four key societal challenges: healthy diets, food/nutrition security, climate change, and sustainability/resilience. Trends in the food system include the growing role of ICT and concentration in the food chain. The author argues that a food policy is needed to address these challenges, and that it should start by getting prices right and increasing R&D investment. Agricultural policy could support food policy goals but not replace the need for a dedicated food policy framework.
This document discusses the potential for innovation in organic and agroecological food and farming. It notes that innovation can take a long time and requires collaboration between academics, breeders, and farmers. Technical innovations also need accompanying marketing innovations to involve retailers and consumers. Social innovation is further needed to address issues like the coexistence of organic and transgenic approaches. The document advocates for more transdisciplinary and interactive research through networks and operational groups to better link researchers, farmers, and other stakeholders in the innovation process. National governments can support this by implementing the European Innovation Partnership to incentivize research, knowledge sharing, and adoption of innovations in agriculture.

Achieving PCSD: A Challenge for Europe's agricultureCéline Charveriat
The document discusses the challenges for European agriculture in achieving policy coherence for sustainable development (PCSD) in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It argues that the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) must do more to minimize negative external impacts on other countries, support their transition to more sustainable agriculture, and ensure European innovation and support promotes SDG alignment globally. Specifically, it raises concerns about the impacts of rising European dairy exports to Africa on small-scale African farmers and greenhouse gas emissions. It calls for integrating SDG targets into the CAP, monitoring impacts in third countries, and avoiding policies that distort world markets or encourage unsustainable production and consumption.
There is a renewed interest in the role of agriculture at the climate change negotiations, as evidenced by a number of interesting side-events during COP 16 in Cancun. The reason is simple: Agriculture and related activities account for a third of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, most of which can be mitigated, an opportunity that policy makers simply cannot afford to miss. What’s more, some of the techniques that sequester carbon have the added advantage of building the water-retention capacity and nutrient content of soils, hence contributing to a triple-win situation where mitigation, adaptation and yield increases are all addressed.
In response to this, SIANI and Sida arranged a one-day workshop on the theme From Source to Sink: How to make Agriculture part of the Solution to Climate Change while contributing to Poverty Alleviation? The main purpose of the workshop was to link the multiple potentials of agriculture to other development goals such as over-all poverty alleviation and food security, with particular reference to the needs of smallholder farmers who make up 70% of the world’s poorest people.
This document summarizes a presentation on future transitions at the farm level. It discusses several key challenges including climate change, reducing environmental impacts, ensuring food and nutrition security, and promoting healthy diets. It outlines scenarios for the future of European agriculture, including a high-tech scenario with driverless tractors and contract farming, a self-organization scenario with regional short supply chains and disruptive ICT, and a collapse scenario involving climate impacts, migration, and a move to local self-sufficiency. The role of ICT and trends like drones, big data, and blockchain are examined. Changes in farm size, livestock numbers, and food chain organization are also addressed.
Making sustainable food choices easier for consumersFrancois Stepman
This document discusses ways to make sustainable food choices easier for consumers. It outlines BEUC's vision of a sustainable food system that guarantees safe, affordable and healthy food for all while respecting the earth's capacity. The document notes that while consumers are concerned about food challenges, they struggle to make sustainable choices due to limited availability, higher prices and unclear labeling. It proposes several actions to address this, including: raising consumer awareness of food production; providing understandable labeling; cutting food waste through better date labeling and campaigns; and making healthy eating less challenging through supportive environments and increased availability of sustainable options. The document calls for ongoing consumer research to ensure solutions meet consumer needs.

Ensuring Technology Access
by José Falck-Zepeda and David Spielman
Technical change has had and is likely to have a tremendous impact on agricultural productivity growth and food security. Technical change, however, varies significantly across countries, communities, households, and individuals. These vary in terms of capabilities and opportunities to improve their well-being. Equity is an ethical issue that matters for technical change, however the innovation system has lost track of this issue. The CGIAR can and should be a driver of both technological change and improvements in equity, but only if we influence the design and implementation of policies and institutions that shape technical change and its equity impacts
Krijn J. Poppe presented on economic and scientific collaboration between East and West. He discussed trends in science and innovation such as the focus on multi-actor and interdisciplinary research. Collaboration between East and West could focus on topics like ICT, precision farming, and supply chain integration. Organizing collaboration through Horizon 2020 projects, public-private partnerships, and programs like the EBRD could help strengthen interaction in research between East and West.

Read more here: http://www.siani.se/expert-groups/agriculture-transformation-low-income-countries-under-environmental-change
This document discusses economic and resource security issues facing the global community by 2050 if current population and development trends continue. It notes that population is projected to reach 9 billion by 2050, placing increasing demands on food, water, energy, land and other natural resources. Greenhouse gas emissions must decrease substantially to address climate change. The document examines China's role in rare earth elements and other material markets, and how governments are responding with policies around resource security. It provides an overview of China's growing control over global commodity and financial systems related to materials through ownership of trading platforms and other assets.
This document contains a series of letters from Tasman Metals Ltd discussing the opportunity for rare earth element production in Europe. It notes that over 95% of rare earth supply currently comes from China, giving them an advantage. The letters describe Tasman's Norra Karr project in Sweden, which could supply all of Europe's rare earth needs for over 50 years. A pre-feasibility study shows the project having strong economics, with magnet metals accounting for the majority of potential revenue. The document argues that Europe is well positioned to develop rare earth supply and reduce dependence on China.
The document discusses the EU's approach to responsible sourcing of raw materials from conflict-affected regions. It notes the importance of raw materials for the economy and international relations. The context section outlines existing EU and international initiatives on transparency and responsible sourcing in mining. The presentation discusses options for an EU strategy, including responsibly sourcing minerals to address armed financing and promote local development while ensuring responsible company behavior. Member states support global frameworks but differ on targeting major producers versus multilateral actions. The conclusion asks how the EU should proceed, which approach to take, which materials to focus on, and which countries to cover.
Roberto Boer is an advisor focused on business development projects relating to raw materials. He became concerned about Europe's dependence on China for rare earth elements (REEs) and identified the Tasman Metals mine in Sweden as the most promising potential supplier within the EU. The document discusses Tasman's favorable geology, location, and financials compared to other options. However, no EU companies or governments have taken action to develop the mine despite its strategic importance. This could allow the project to fall under Chinese control like other REE deposits. Boer argues the EU needs to take initiative to secure domestic REE supply by supporting initial investment in Tasman.
This document discusses ensuring global food security and stable agricultural commodity markets. It summarizes the historic role of governments in managing grain supplies and the common agricultural policy. It advocates for open trade to cope with weather shocks, and notes the rising Asian consumer market. The document promotes sustainability through national commitments on commodities like soy, palm oil, and cocoa. It argues for diversification, agricultural innovation through research cooperation, and maintaining a strong united European position in global trade negotiations to ensure economic security.

5. Lessons from political science
European thinking is based on multilateralism with global
governance systems to facilitate trade, access to
resources and spread western values (soft power).
“Emerging markets view access to raw materials as an
object of power politics. Europe sees it as trade policy”
“Europe and Japan are in a transition from nation state
to market state: in response to globalisation they make
the citizen responsible for prosperity (by privatizing)”
“Geo-economics becomes more important as emerging
markets see that their prosperity is linked to unhindered
access to scarce resources”.
“Mechanisms for conflict resolution should be taken
seriously” >> should we develop something on food in The Hague ??
Quotes: Rob de Wijk – Machtspolitiek, 2014
8. 12,5% NL exports outside EU are inputs:
support local production to reduce tension
Export seeds: € 1,1 billion
intra EU extra EU
Export means of production (machinery etc.): € 3,1 bln.

9. Imports
Phosphate (and potassium)
● Dependent on a few sources, mainly Morocco
Protein-rich animal feed (soy beans)
● EU uncompetitive in cost price (but home-grown
would not be not a big effect on consumer price ?)
● Meat consumption slows down – a good thing
● In supply disruption the stock is a big buffer
Tropical products, including palm oil and fats
Fish: EU aquaculture is not competitive compared to Asia
Rare metals etc for machinery and ICT: who knows?
If needed, NL could feed itself (autarky), EU too ?

10. Where to go from here
Monitoring
● Agriculture and Food have good world trade data
(less true for rare metals etc.)
● Life cycle analysis and other methodologies of the
Sustainability Consortium could be used for
monitoring, finding alternatives, promote
recirculation
Cooperation and reciprocity in trade
● Support with know how, but keep the lead (with
ICT?)
