As the global Agri- food systems face challenges to feed an ever-growing global population, resilient cereals like millets provide an affordable and nutrious option. The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution declaring 2023 as the international year of millets. The resolution considers the urgent need to raise awareness of millet’s climate- resilient and nutritional benefits. Millets can play an important role in the livelihood of the masses and contribute to the collective efforts of empowering small land holding farmers, achieving sustainable development, eliminating hunger, adapting to climate change, promoting bio- diversity and transforming agri-food systems.

 To ensure the good quality of raw material, big data comes into play. Helps in increasing the yield of the crop, optimal management strategies for getting the best crop and livestock production under a variety of environmental situations. Throughout the food supply chain from farm to fork, almost a third of the food for human consumption is lost or wasted. With the arrival of social media, the availability of consumer preferences likes and dislikes increased. Apps like Snapchat and Instagram acts as status projecting flatforms for people.

The waste streams from the food sector may be turned into value added functional ingredients, a significant benefit of employing biopolymers to manufacture packaging materials that decreases waste, promote sustainability and improve economic viability. Many of these biproducts are high in polysaccharides, proteins, lipids and other functional components such as antimicrobials, antioxidants and pigments serve as a good source of value-added ingredients.

The Argo economics development philosophy must evolve to allow for the coexistence of conventional and alternative agriculture, with the goal of equalising the opportunity. Mini scale processing and utilisation of food products through a short supply chain actually help the small producers balance their resilience over the competition from bulk producer.Balancing the demand and supply is the challenge

Call for inputs on the realization of the Human Right to Adequate Food

Bonjour à tous

Hello all 

Thank you for this initiatives..... I read previous contributions with great interest!

I appreciate especially the suggestions by Martin Nissen, and the reference to the (wrong focus) on ''single-targeted development approach''.....

Ultimately, the political will of governments to promote ''holistic development'' is critical, creating an enabling environment for all potential actors to play their roles effectively.... Engaging the private sector could be more emphasized here ...  International NGOs like CARE (USA) have been investing heavily on innovative initiatives (@Feed the Future) to engage the private sector, especially to create employment opportunities for poor rural women, which ensures their ''control of income'' and bargaining power.... Linking entrepreneurial rural women with merchants in urban and semi-urban areas, such initiatives promoted a ''Microfranchising...''' Projects whereby women access consumable industrial goods (e.g iodized salt, soap, food oil, etc) in ''bulk'' which they would then distribute and sell in rural villages with small margin of profit. ... This enabled women not only to access demand-driven industrial items, but also can access it on credit bases (guarantees facilitated by the programme). ... It opened a new opportunity for earning income for women, but also enabled rural people to easily access such goods, sometimes also creating new demand for such goods.... Availability of such goods often promote inspirations among rural people, including more willingness to exert more effort of work to acquire income that would be needed to buy them (=Supply creates its own demand...??)....  One key challenge reported in some African cases has been reluctance of the private sector to participate, or appreciate the BUSINESS CASE of such engagements.

Dear  FSN colleagues,

Thank you for the opportunity to share best practices relating to the realization of the human right to adequate food.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, governments created a global School Meals Coalition with the twin aims of reopening schools and of rebuilding more resilient school-based health systems. Today, 82 countries, comprising more than half the world’s population, are delivering on this response, and school-based coverage of some key school-based programmes exceeds those from January 2020.

As the first initiative of the School Meals Coalition, the Research Consortium for School Health and Nutrition aims to support governments with scaling and strengthening their national programs by 2030 by:

1. Providing evidence on the effectiveness of school feeding programmes for learning, social and physical outcomes of children and youth across the world to make the case for investment in school-based health and nutrition programmes; and
2. Providing policymakers with programmatic guidance on the optimal policies to be implemented with regard to health, nutrition, and education.

In response to your call for submissions, please find attached a short summary about this effort.

With best wishes,

The Research Consortium for School Health and Nutrition
