Challenges & opportunities
Challenges that affect agricultural
production:
 The new ‘normal’ is disruption – early springs, late
frosts, flods; in the future?
 Markets’ volatility
Opportunities in connecting the dots:
 Research is re-searching synergies (break silos)
 Innovation, technology and data

Copa-Cogeca | The voice of European farmers and their cooperatives | 4
Bioeconomy – a response of the agriculture
and forestry sector to current challenges
 Contributing to circular economy – an efficient
use of existing resources (residues, co-products)
 Creating new jobs and additional income-
development of existing businesses and new
business opportunties
 Tackling climate change - replacing fossil-based
materials and contributing to a greener economy

Copa-Cogeca | The voice of European farmers and their cooperatives | 5
Tackling climate change in agriculture
 Paris Agreement – SGDs - increase resilience
and promote low-carbon development ‘in a
manner that does not threaten food
production’
 Synergies between production of food and
other climate actions, e.g. methane.
 Practices build on synergies between
mitigation and adaptation, low-tillage
systems, water management.

Copa-Cogeca | The voice of European farmers and their cooperatives | 6
Agriculture and forestry
part of the solution
 Agriculture and forestry have not only
emissions, but also removals of GHGs from the
atmosphere in soils and vegetation, i.e. carbon
sequestration.
 Local actions – global solutions, direct injection
of manure, cropping systems, nutrient plans.
 Positive externalities have to be recognized,
landscape features, public goods, grasslands.

Cities are an underappreciated entry point for addressing food system challenges and transitioning to a more circular economy for food. By focusing on regenerative and less damaging food production within cities, as well as valorizing by-products and enabling innovations, cities can help mobilize the transformation to a more circular food system at a large scale. Some actions that cities like Brussels, Guelph, Porto, and Sao Paulo are taking include recycled nutrient programs, addressing both food and waste problems through companies like AgriProtein, and focusing on soil health and circular approaches to food production.

This document discusses circular food systems in cities using the examples of Grow NYC and the Toyohashi Food Project. The Toyohashi Food Project aims to create a circular economy around food in Toyohashi, Japan by 2020 through initiatives like urban farming, composting, and recycling. More information about Grow NYC and the Toyohashi Food Project can be found at the B.Grove booth at the Expo Area.

Circular food systems in cities Mr. Kazuo Fukuyama City of Yokohama wcef2018

WorldCircularEconomyForum2018

Yokohama has implemented initiatives to reduce food waste from households and businesses. The city aims to reduce food waste generated by households by at least 20% compared to 2015 levels through public education campaigns and encouraging smarter shopping habits. It also recognizes food waste as a resource and has developed a "food recycling loop" system where food waste is turned into compost, animal feed, biogas, and fertilizer through various recycling processes. Key companies have also launched their own food waste reduction efforts through campaigns, awards programs, and utilizing food waste in manufacturing. Overall, Yokohama views reducing food waste as important both environmentally and for engaging citizens and businesses in sustainable practices.

Strategic Design Scenarios

Sustainable food systems are not widely recognized as a priority issue or challenge for cities in OECD countries. A survey conducted in France found that while some local sustainable food actions exist, like community gardens and short distribution chains, sustainable food governance is not generally a political priority and there is a gap between rhetoric and action. To strengthen urban food systems, the document argues that cities need to mainstream sustainable food policies, engage stakeholders through governance, support local food production and planning, and take a human rights approach to food systems. The International Urban Food Network aims to contribute by sharing knowledge through events and an online platform.

Urban areas currently account for 60-80% of global energy consumption and 75% of carbon emissions. With rapid urbanization expected to continue, cities represent both a major challenge and opportunity for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) focused on cities could help stabilize carbon dioxide equivalent concentrations and keep global temperature increases below 2°C. Potential urban NAMA measures include improving transport systems, boosting energy efficiency in buildings, expanding renewable energy, better managing waste, and engaging the public in behavioral changes. Developing carbon-neutral cities would attract new investments and technologies while achieving economic, social, and environmental benefits.

Biofuels and Food Security Interactions Workshop

This document summarizes a presentation given by Francis X. Johnson on bioenergy transitions. The presentation covered three main points: 1. Modernizing biomass energy utilization, especially from agricultural and forestry residues, can provide socioeconomic and environmental benefits for least developed countries and help achieve climate-compatible development. 2. Significant institutional development, investment, financing, trade, and good governance are needed to achieve sustainable bioenergy pathways. 3. There are complex interactions between socioeconomic, institutional, technological, and political factors that must be considered when analyzing bioenergy transitions at different scales from local to global.

The lifestyle in Lisbon reflects some aspects of sustainable development but there is still room for improvement. Lisbon residents are increasingly using renewable energy and practicing recycling, and some large companies have adopted sustainable practices. However, there are still issues like an abundance of litter, traffic pollution, and abandoned buildings that could be utilized to help more people. Potential improvements include installing more waste bins, discouraging pigeon feeding, raising environmental awareness among youth, implementing carpooling/bike sharing to reduce traffic, adopting greater recycling policies in businesses, and renovating abandoned buildings for housing.

Millenium Consumption Goals by Thomas Brose

Comm Anped

The document discusses the proposed Millennium Consumption Goals (MCGs) initiative, which seeks to establish consumption targets for wealthy nations to promote more sustainable consumption. It provides background on current unsustainable resource use and the outsized consumption of the global rich. The MCGs would complement existing Millennium Development Goals by also addressing overconsumption. They would focus on areas like emissions, energy/water/land use, and materials. Achieving the MCGs would require engagement across sectors in developed countries to shift behaviors and policies ahead of the Rio+20 conference.

- Prof. Koyu Furusawa discusses environmental protection and sustainable development from a socio-cultural perspective based on Japanese values and practices. - The concept of "Mottainai" emphasizes reducing waste and respecting resources. Traditional Japanese practices also incorporated recycling and respect for nature. - Sustainable development requires balancing economic, environmental, and social concerns. While modern practices often focus on growth and consumption, alternative models emphasize multi-functionality and gradual strengthening of relationships. - Community-supported agriculture, farmers markets, and fair trade aim to connect consumers directly with producers in a cooperative model. Traditional Japanese and indigenous practices also demonstrate how human activities can harmonize with natural systems.

The project aims to help regions strengthen mineral supply chains, address social challenges, and implement more sustainable mining practices through policy coordination and capacity building. Regional leaders discussed their mining histories and current social and economic challenges, and emphasized the need for job training, social acceptance of mining, and diversification of regional economies.

The document discusses a project by the OECD to enhance mining regional ecosystems in the EU. It will focus on 10 EU mining regions and aims to improve policy coordination, enabling factors for mining development, sustainable practices, and well-being. Regional profiles will be developed covering innovation, environment/economy, and social acceptance. A synthesis report will provide an overall framework. The timeline includes regional visits through early 2024 to develop profiles, workshops, and a final report by March 2025. The goals are to coordinate policies, promote sustainability, and secure mineral supply in the EU while improving regional well-being.

EU Critical Raw Minerals Act Presentation.pdf

OECDregions

The European Critical Raw Materials Act proposes establishing a framework to ensure a secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials for the European Union. It defines 34 raw materials as critical based on their high economic importance and supply risk. It aims to strengthen the EU's critical raw materials value chain, diversify imports, improve risk monitoring and mitigation, boost circularity and sustainability, and define strategic projects across the value chain to increase EU extraction, processing and recycling capacities. It would also establish a Critical Raw Materials Board to support the European Commission in law's implementation.

The Netherlands: National Program Local Heat Transition

OECDregions

The National Program Local Heat Transition (NPLW) consists of two programs - the Program for Accelerating Neighbourhoods (PAW) and the Expertise Center Heat (ECW) - that support municipalities in accelerating the transition to decarbonized heating in the Netherlands. The NPLW aims to help implement around 3,000 neighborhood transition plans by 2030 to insulate or decarbonize 1.5 million homes, as called for in the country's Climate Accord of 2019. It provides knowledge sharing, stimulates regional collaboration, collects monitoring data, and communicates with municipalities and stakeholders to help different communities transition at various speeds.

Decarbonising homes in cities in the Netherlands: a neighbourhood approach

OECDregions

OECD presentation on decarbonising homes in cities in the Netherlands: a neighbourhood approach. About 90% of homes in the Netherlands depend on natural gas for heating. The Netherlands has made a commitment to phase out natural gas by 2050. To achieve the goal, the Netherlands has rolled out a natural gas-free pilot programme in 66 neighbourhoods. These neighbourhood pilot projects enabled municipalities to learn what it takes to start energy transition. Based on a city survey carried out across 26 local governments, key findings from this report call on national and local governments joining up their efforts to take place-based measures.

Sofia Björnsson - EU farmers and agri-cooperatives’ Our contribution to tackle environmental and social challenges

1. EU farmers and agri-cooperatives’ Our contribution to tackle environmental and social challenges Sofia Björnsson, Chairwomen of the Copa Cogeca WP on Rural Development 11 April 2018, 11th OECD Rural Development Conference

2. Copa-Cogeca | The voice of European farmers and their cooperatives | 2 COPA and COGECA Who are we and what we do? More than 50 years of experience:  COPA - over 23 million farmers and their families  COGECA - 22.000 agri-cooperatives  Joint Secretariat in Brussels – one of biggest and most active lobbies  Over 70 EU MS member organisations and 30 partner organisations.  Our mission: to ensure a viable, innovative, sustainable and competitive EU agriculture and agri-food sector capable of meeting growing food demand.

3. Copa-Cogeca | The voice of European farmers and their cooperatives | 3 Challenges & opportunities Challenges that affect agricultural production:  The new ‘normal’ is disruption – early springs, late frosts, flods; in the future?  Markets’ volatility Opportunities in connecting the dots:  Research is re-searching synergies (break silos)  Innovation, technology and data

4. Copa-Cogeca | The voice of European farmers and their cooperatives | 4 Bioeconomy – a response of the agriculture and forestry sector to current challenges  Contributing to circular economy – an efficient use of existing resources (residues, co-products)  Creating new jobs and additional income- development of existing businesses and new business opportunties  Tackling climate change - replacing fossil-based materials and contributing to a greener economy

5. Copa-Cogeca | The voice of European farmers and their cooperatives | 5 Tackling climate change in agriculture  Paris Agreement – SGDs - increase resilience and promote low-carbon development ‘in a manner that does not threaten food production’  Synergies between production of food and other climate actions, e.g. methane.  Practices build on synergies between mitigation and adaptation, low-tillage systems, water management.

6. Copa-Cogeca | The voice of European farmers and their cooperatives | 6 Agriculture and forestry part of the solution  Agriculture and forestry have not only emissions, but also removals of GHGs from the atmosphere in soils and vegetation, i.e. carbon sequestration.  Local actions – global solutions, direct injection of manure, cropping systems, nutrient plans.  Positive externalities have to be recognized, landscape features, public goods, grasslands.

7. Copa-Cogeca | The voice of European farmers and their cooperatives | 7 www.copa-cogeca.eu Promoting a sustainable agriculture and forestry for a sustainable future!
