Re: Climate Change, Food Security and Nutrition

>> English translation below <<

Hola a todo/as. Saludo cordial.

Las " cuestiones " involucradas por las necesidades en Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutrición y vulnerables por el Cambio Climático, son evidentes:

Pobreza, inequidad, tenencia de tierra, educación, salud, seguridad, etc...Las relaciones de poder entre minorías ( pudientes) y mayorías ( clase media para abajo ), son las variables a considerar con genuino interés para  mitigar y solventar de manera sostenible la Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutrición de millones de seres humanos, los fenómenos económicos y de poder deben establecerse con una visión nueva, dadas las circunstancias. Fijar parámetros fiables en las inversiones globales de empresas y gobiernos, sustentar criterios en derechos humanos escenciales y darle efectividad a los acuerdos.

 Las inquietudes en la generación de políticas adecuadas a el CC versus Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutrición, son las mismas de siempre: efecto real y general en las poblaciones de agricultores y los recursos. Si hay decisión política en cuanto al balance económico y ambiental en los diferentes regiones, sobre todo las más pobres, se pondrán  dar las condiciones necesarias para crear encadenamientos en los factores prevalentes: calidad de vida, abastecimiento y crecimiento económico - desarrollo ?-, salud, distribución de la riqueza, inclusión, tenencia de tierra, educación, empleo, etc. Los factores e indicadores siguen mostrando lo mismo: carencia de acciones oportunas y coordinadas para una implementación eficaz a escala regional y global de unas políticas que no logran aterrizar en la mayoría de los casos. Cuando veo términos como " siempre que sea posible " y " programas y proyectos siguen estando en gran parte sin vincular ",  evidenciamos la falta de capacidad de lograr sinergias armónicas entre los actores involucrados. Por ello, la gobernabilidad y las relaciones multilaterales, deben conseguir un consenso en el mediano plazo y establecer controles y normativas vínculantes, convenios marco que logren una artículación real, genuina. Sistematizar procesos de investigación  y protocolos que invoquen las necesidades urgentes y prioritarias y dejar de seguir investigaciones infinitas y encuentros fatuos. existe un arsenal de investigaciones prácticas y nociones claras de lo " que se debe hacer ", más " no se hace ".

Las estructuras públicas nacionales ( ministerios, agencias, universidades, ong ) deben crear sistemas coordinados de sus operaciones, agilizar la toma de desiciones y manejar presupuestos conjuntos, ejecutar estrategias consensuadas con el sector privado y ser consecuentes con las políticas sociales de derechos humanos. La extensión en los campos requeridos y los sistemas de información ( públicos y privados ) deben regirse por un norte claro: las personas.

Existen cantidad de casos exitosos, desde la investigación y su acción práctica, hasta políticas acertadas y viables, la cuestión es ponernos de acuerdo para las necesidades específicas y las más apremiantes, los recursos existen. Los "cabilderos " deben dar un salto cualitativo en su " Oratoria ". 

No podemos darnos el lujo de dilatar las decisiones.

The "issues" involved by the needs in Food Safety and Nutrition and vulnerable by climate change are evident:
 
Poverty, inequality, land tenure, education, health, security, etc ... Power relations between minorities (wealthy) and majority (middle class on down) are the variables to consider with genuine interest to mitigate and overcome so Sustainable Food Security and Nutrition of millions of human beings, economic and power phenomena should be established with a new vision, given the circumstances. Fix reliable parameters in global investment firms and governments, sustain essential criteria in human rights and give effect to their agreements.
 
 Concerns in the generation of appropriate policies at the CC versus Food Safety and Nutrition, are the same as always: real and overall impact on farming populations and resources. If no political decision on the economic and environmental balance in the different regions, especially the poorest, will provide the necessary conditions to create linkages in prevalent factors: quality of life, supply and economic growth - development - health , distribution of wealth, inclusion, land tenure, education, employment, etc. The factors and indicators continue to show the same: lack of timely and coordinated actions for effective regional and global scale policies that fail to land in most cases implementation. When I see terms like "whenever possible" and "programs and projects remain largely unlinked", we show the inability to achieve harmonious synergy among stakeholders. Therefore, governance and multilateral relations, must achieve consensus in the medium term and establish controls and binding regulations, framework agreements that achieve a real, genuine joint. Systematize research processes and protocols invoking the urgent and priority needs and unfollow endless investigations and fatuous games. There is an array of practical research and clear notions of what "to do" more "is not done".
 
National public structures (ministries, agencies, universities, NGOs) should create coordinated systems of its operations, streamline decision making and handle sets budgets, implement strategies agreed with the private sector and be consistent with the social policies of human rights. The extent required fields and information systems (public and private) should be governed by a north: people.
 
There are many success stories, from research and practical action, to sound and viable policy, the question is agreeing to the specific and urgent needs, resources there. The " lobbyist " should make a qualitative leap in his "Oratory".
 
We can not afford to delay the decisions.
 
 
Dear all:

Kind regards.

The issues to consider when linking food security and nutrition and climate change are evident:

Poverty, unfairness, land tenure, education, health, security, etc ... The balance of power between minorities (wealthy population) and majorities (middle and lower class) is to be conscientiously addressed to sustainably improve the food security and nutrition of millions of human beings. Given the current situation, a new approach for economic and power phenomena should be adopted. Reliable parameters for entrepreneurial and governmental global investments must be set, criteria should be based on basic human rights and agreements must be made effective.

Concerns regarding the delivery of policies addressing climate change and food security and nutrition are the usual ones: real and overall impact on farming populations and their resources. If political commitment on the economic and environmental balance in the different regions -especially the poorest ones- exists, the required conditions for the creation of linkages in overriding factors (quality of life, supply and economic growth – development? -, health, wealth distribution, inclusion, land tenure, education, employment, etc) can be met. Factors and indicators keep drawing the same conclusion: lack of timely and coordinated actions for an effective implementation of regional and global policies, not even launched in most cases. When expressions like “whenever possible” or “programs and projects remain largely unlinked” are used, I think we are showing our inability to achieve harmonious synergies among the stakeholders. Therefore, governance and multilateral relations must reach a mid-term consensus and establish binding controls and regulations and framework agreements that yield a real and genuine bond. Research processes and protocols addressing the urgent and priority needs should be standardised, whilst endless investigations and fruitless meetings should be avoided. There is a good deal of practical research and clear guidelines on “what should be done” but is not done.

National public structures (ministries, agencies, universities, NGOs) should create coordinated operational systems, speed up decision making, manage joint budgets, implement strategies agreed with the private sector and be consistent with human rights social policies. The scope of work and the information systems (public and private) should be based on a clear goal: people.

There are many success stories, from research and practical action to sound and feasible policies. The key lies in agreeing the specific and urgent needs, as resources are available. The lobbyists must make a qualitative leap in their speech.

We cannot afford to delay decision-making.
