Towards the Development of the Programme on Sustainable Food Systems (SFSP)
Dear all,
Pursuant to the enhanced Memorandum of Understanding signed on September 24th 2014 between the Director-General of FAO and the Executive Director of UNEP, FAO and UNEP are jointly developing a programme on sustainable food systems under the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns (10YFP), based on the experience and work under the FAO-UNEP Sustainable Food Systems Programme.
This follows a decision by the Agri-food Taskforce on Sustainable Consumption and Production of the FAO-UNEP Sustainable Food Systems Programme, the approval of the 10YFP Board of a preliminary proposal presented by FAO and UNEP, and the recommendation of the Committee on Agriculture of FAO at its 24th session.
As part of this process, a public consultation is being organized in order to:
- take stock of information on initiatives of relevance for the development of the Programme, particularly to avoid duplication and facilitate synergies and partnerships [please use this form]
- collect comments and input on a short draft concept note, for the further development of the Programme [please use this form]
- collect potential expressions of interest of entities to participate in the the Programme as Lead/Co-leads and/or as member of the Multi-stakeholder Advisory Committee (MAC) and/or work area coordinators and/or simple partners [please use this form].
The results of the consultation will be used to further develop the concept note. A Multi-stakeholder Advisory Committee (MAC) will be constituted, with Lead/Co-leads.
The Lead/Co-leads, together with the MAC will finalize the concept note and develop a full programme proposal, which will be submitted to the 10YFP Secretariat for formal validation of the 10YFP Board. More details on the process are available on the Web site of the 10YFP (www.unep.org/10yfp).
We thank you in advance for your interest, support and efforts, and for sharing your knowledge and experiences with us.
We look forward to your contributions.

FAO Deputy Director-General

Please find attached a response from the Food Ethics Council on ‘Towards the development of the programme on sustainable food systems’.
We welcome the opportunity to respond to the consultation, which has lots of positive elements to it. We strongly support work to encourage collaboration and to accelerate progress towards genuinely sustainable (environmentally sustainable, fair, humane and healthy) food systems.
However, we would like to see a more explicit focus on fairness and on sustainable diets. We also believe that the scope should extend beyond market-based and voluntary solutions, as these can only ever be part of the overall solution, given the scale and urgency of the challenges we face.
If you have any follow up questions, please get in touch.
Kind regards

Congratulations on the draft concept note on this important issue.
I think it needs to have a stronger focus on ethics and equity as key issues in delivering food and nutrition security and would therefore propose that the "goal" needs to be changed to “sustainable and ethical food systems” to encourage a fairer distribution of resources within the system and to protect the livelihoods of the poor.
I think the draft also needs to highlight that food systems sit within different socio-economic and political contexts, which may not be coherent with a move toward sustainable food systems (eg WTO and other free trade agreements currently being negotiated, national policies to encourage large-scale intensive farming in developing countries, etc).
In terms of promoting the move toward a more sustainable food system, this is a global scale issue and requires commitments from governments and organisations to ensure that more sustainable food systems are actually implemented, in a similar way to how climate change targets have been set. I would therefore incorporate a 5th objective to “Develop and recommend a set of policies and targets that UN members and other signatories should adopt to ensure that sustainable food systems are delivered”.
And on the work areas, the focus on "market-based and voluntary" solutions may not be sufficient. Mandatory sustainability certification and standards may be required, as experience has shown with the many voluntary biofuel sustainability certification schemes, most of which do not adequately address food and nutrition security.
Finally I would encourage that under work area 1 there should be a central platform and website housed at FAO which would assemble and disseminate all relevant information on this vital issue, with links to the various platforms and initiatives.
Please find enclosed the Feedback form.
Kind regards
