The barriers identified reflect our experience, however, the following specific barriers can be made explicit:

-Lack of access to land and basic goods and services (health and education) for peasant communities, especially for women

-Lack of economic compensation for agroecological production (like that of most peasant communities in Central Africa, for example). 

-The production of food in rural Africa does not offer possibilities of labor and social inclusion capable of meeting the expectations of new generations

-Lack of policies that effectively promote the consumption of local and organic production (today imported food in Africa is imposed by the price, yet it comes from unsustainable production models).

-There are no international policies (binding mechanisms, taxes, for example) that require the largest emitters of carbon and the largest portfolios (capital, private sector) to effectively contribute to the implementation of a quality, fair and sustainable food system

DRF: 

The outcomes are appropriate and we explicit the following aspects: 

- Direct support policies and programs for peasant communities allow them access to land as well as to other basic goods and services (health and education). Policies for the redistribution of land and capital (reduction of inequalities, SDG 10) allow the implementation of these policies and programs.

- Agro-ecological production (0 carbon emissions, like that of peasant communities in Central Africa) is economically rewarded. Consumption of local and organic products is effectively promoted by minimizing imported food from unsustainable production and transportation patterns. Revenue generation from a progressive carbon tax mechanism that demands more from the largest emitters and progressive taxes on capital in the sector allows for sustainable and equitable food production, transportation and consumption
