This document discusses reducing food losses and waste in Latin America and the Caribbean to improve food security. It notes that the region loses around 15% of its available food. Some countries are taking measures to address this like improving infrastructure, facilitating food banks, and awareness campaigns. It proposes a regional strategy with pillars of research, technology, information, governance, and partnerships to study food chains, quantify losses, disseminate campaigns, and establish public policies and codes of conduct to reduce food loss and waste by at least 30%. Reducing waste is important for future food security given continued production and climate change.

This document summarizes the findings of a survey conducted in Western Kenya to determine adoption rates of soil fertility replenishment technologies by farmers. The survey interviewed 223 farmers, about half of which were members of farmer groups, and evaluated adoption levels of 11 technologies. It found that inorganic fertilizers and improved legumes had the highest adoption rates, while technologies like intercropping and manure use had lower rates. Farmer group membership, education levels, and location influenced adoption levels. Bungoma county had significantly higher adoption than Busia and Vihiga counties.

Recovery and redistribution

Camellia Bucatariu is an international policy development consultant for the Rural Infrastructure & Agro-Industries Division (AGS) at the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). This document discusses recovery and redistribution of safe and nutritious food for human consumption. It provides context on global food security and sustainable development goals. Large amounts of food are lost or wasted annually, impacting natural resources, poverty, and hunger. Recovery and redistribution models aim to prevent waste by receiving safe, nutritious food and redistributing it to those in need. Effective strategies are needed across supply chains in developed and developing countries.

This document summarizes food losses and waste in Europe and Central Asia. It finds that in developed countries, most food losses and waste occur during distribution and consumption, while in developing countries losses are higher during production and post-harvest stages. The main causes include lack of resources and technologies, management issues, and inconsistent consumer demand and quality standards. Some countries are addressing this through public awareness campaigns, food banks, improved technologies, and support for local markets. Further options proposed include investment in upgrades, skills training, and measures to reduce losses in distribution and consumption.

Scaling up biofortification

International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)

HarvestPlus is scaling up biofortification efforts to 30 priority countries over the next 5 years. They used a multi-step process to prioritize these countries, including developing indices to measure potential benefits and enabling factors. The Biofortification Priority Index and Multicrop Index were used to estimate nutritional benefits across countries. The Hunger and Nutrition Commitment Index combined with crop readiness assessed enabling environments. Countries scoring high in both benefits and factors were prioritized. Additional criteria like operations and demand were also considered in selecting the 30 focus countries.

The document discusses scaling up efforts to address undernutrition through coordinated multi-stakeholder action. It outlines the vision and history of the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) movement, which aims to support national governments' efforts to improve food and nutrition security through coordinated action. The SUN movement focuses on both nutrition-specific interventions and nutrition-sensitive development programs. National governments lead these efforts, with support from regional and international stakeholders working in a coordinated network to build on existing nutrition actions and fill critical resource gaps.

Session 1. Unnevehr Introduction

African Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS)

This document provides an overview of research being conducted under Theme 1 of the A4NH program to promote better diet quality through value chain interventions. It discusses how diet quality improves slowly with income growth and identifies various market and policy failures that result in underinvestment in nutrient-rich foods. The value chain approach aims to test interventions along the supply and demand sides to identify bottlenecks and solutions to constraints. Several new research projects are highlighted that are exploring improvements to specific value chains like vegetables, fish, dairy, and fruits to enhance nutritional outcomes. The goal is to learn lessons across countries and value chains to ultimately drive broader food system change.

SUN_Movement

Indonesia has high levels of malnutrition compared to other Southeast Asian countries. Stunting affects over 30% of children in every province. Causes include poor infant and young child feeding practices and sanitation issues. To address this, Indonesia launched a Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement in 2013. The movement aims to coordinate cross-sectoral nutrition actions and bring various stakeholders together under new leadership structures. It also develops policies and guidelines, advocates for nutrition, and monitors progress using national surveys and routine community data. Critical components for success include strong leadership, coordination, funding, capacity building, and ensuring nutrition is part of development plans.

Assessing nutritional status

Murali Krishnan L

This document discusses assessing nutritional status and vulnerability at global, national, and local levels. It outlines how anthropometric measurements are used to evaluate nutritional status, especially for children, women, and adults. Key indicators like underweight, stunting, and wasting are defined. Large-scale surveys conducted by international organizations help assess nutrition, health, and living standards. Repeated small-scale surveys and participatory methods also monitor improvements. Identifying vulnerable groups and factors contributing to food insecurity helps design targeted nutrition programs. Options presented include improving livelihoods through credit, irrigation, agriculture, livestock, and ecotourism.

This document summarizes research on the link between agriculture and nutrition in Ethiopia. It finds that increasing agricultural production diversity is associated with better child nutrition outcomes. Ownership of cows also improves child nutrition by increasing milk consumption. The existence of food markets can partially substitute for own production. Empowering women, such as through control over income and group membership, positively impacts child and women's nutrition. However, improving nutrition requires a holistic approach addressing agricultural productivity, market access, asset building, women's empowerment, and incorporating nutrition into social protection programs.

This document summarizes the history of cooking oil fortification with vitamin A in Indonesia, including key challenges and progress over time. It describes early feasibility studies showing the program's potential impact in reducing vitamin A deficiency. While standards were established in 2012, implementation was repeatedly postponed due to lobbying by some oil companies. By 2019, consensus was reached to fortify all packaged cooking oils by January 2020. However, leadership changes risk further delays to this effort to combat widespread nutritional problems through a low-cost fortification strategy.

Wheat and Cooking Oil/Ghee Fortification in Pakistan

Pakistan has a history of fortifying staple foods to address micronutrient deficiencies. In the 1960s, oil/ghee was mandated to be fortified with vitamins A and D. In the 1980s, salt iodization became voluntary. A National Fortification Alliance was established in 2003 and 2005 saw the start of a wheat flour fortification program. Current efforts focus on fortifying wheat flour and oil/ghee through legislation, industry standards, and quality control. A 2017 survey found progress but also challenges in reaching small mills. Next steps include continued education campaigns to ensure fortified foods reach those most at risk of deficiencies.

Current Status of Agricultural Biotechnology in Thailand

Thailand has a long history of genetically modified crop development and regulation. Key events include the first GM crop field trials in 1994 and establishment of regulatory bodies like the National Biosafety Committee in 1993. While some GM crops were approved for trials, all open field trials were banned in 2001 until biosafety laws were passed. GM food labeling is required only for certain products containing over 5% GM ingredients. Though a biosafety act has been drafted, it has not passed. Current guidelines govern GM research, but emerging technologies may require regulatory changes. Further considerations include exemptions for GM imports and revisions to labeling policies.

Soybean Value Chains for Rural Development

1. The document outlines the soybean value chain in Myanmar, which includes smallholder farmers, traders, brokers, tofu processors, oil mills, and locally processed food producers. 2. It notes that 100% of smallholder farmers grow soybeans for food products like tofu, textured soy protein, and traditional soy foods. However, farmers have limited access to new end-product development and market demand information from food processors. 3. New market opportunities have brought private sector investments in three new factories producing wet wholesale and retail packed products as well as dried packed products. This has led to market-driven changes among all stakeholders, including better prices, quality, and quantities of food.

1) The study examined the relationship between market access, production diversity, and dietary diversity for pregnant/lactating women and children aged 6-23 months in Chin State, Myanmar. 2) It found that market access appears to play a critical role in animal-source food consumption and overall dietary diversity, particularly for areas closer to markets. Production diversity was more important for dietary outcomes in areas further from markets. 3) Nutrition education through the PACE project had a larger, more significant impact on dietary outcomes than either market access or production diversity interventions alone. Investments in nutrition education are important irrespective of how access to nutritious food is improved.

Does e-commerce Increase Food Consumption in Rural Areas? Evidence from China

E-commerce has significantly increased food consumption in rural China through two channels. First, it reduces the cost of living, increasing disposable income that is partly spent on food. Second, it expands choices of food items available, especially non-perishables. Data shows rural household food expenditure grew more than other items with greater e-commerce. However, the biggest impact was on poor households and food for young children, as online access has reduced breastfeeding and increased formula purchases among the poor. While e-commerce has boosted rural consumption, the nutritional effects on children in poor areas requires further study.

This document summarizes research on traditional and modern milk marketing chains in India and their implications for smallholder dairy farmers. The key points are: 1) India has a large dairy sector dominated by small farms, but milk is sold through both traditional local markets and modern cooperatives/companies. 2) Research finds smallholder dairy farmers who sell to modern markets earn higher incomes than those relying only on local traders. 3) Factors like farm size, education, and information access influence whether farmers use traditional or modern markets. 4) Policies should encourage smallholder participation in formal markets to improve farmer welfare through higher returns.
