Short Course Application Form - Sustainable Agri-Food Systems

Background

The Indonesian population is expected to grow to 311 million by 2050. A growing population and middle- class and a high rate of urbanisation have changed food demand, consumption and dietary patterns.

Bappenas estimates that the population living in urban areas will reach 69% by 2045. Agri-food sector (agriculture, forestry, fisheries) plays an important role in the Indonesian economy, contributing 13.8% of GDP and providing employment to almost half of its total population.[1]

Food systems is a trending topic in the agriculture sector. UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) defines food systems and sustainable food systems as follows[2]:

Food systems (FS) encompass the entire range of actors and their interlinked value-adding activities involved in the production, aggregation, processing, distribution, consumption and disposal of food products that originate from agriculture, forestry or fisheries, and parts of the broader economic, societal and natural environments in which they are embedded. The food system is composed of sub-systems (e.g.

farming system, waste management system, input supply system, etc.) and interacts with other key

systems (e.g. energy system, trade system, health system, etc.). Therefore, a structural change in the food system might originate from a change in another system; for example, a policy promoting more biofuel in the energy system will have a significant impact on the food system.

A sustainable food system (SFS) is a food system that delivers food security and nutrition for all in such a way that the economic, social and environmental bases to generate food security and nutrition for future generations are not compromised. This means that: – It is profitable throughout (economic sustainability); – It has broad-based benefits for society (social sustainability); and – It has a positive or neutral impact on the natural environment (environmental sustainability). A sustainable food system lies at the heart of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Adopted in 2015, the SDGs call for major transformations in agriculture and food systems in order to end hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition by 2030. To realize the SDGs, the global food system needs to be reshaped to be more

productive, more inclusive of poor and marginalized populations, environmentally sustainable and resilient, and able to deliver healthy and nutritious diets to all. These are complex and systemic challenges that require the combination of interconnected actions at the local, national, regional and global levels.

The food system approach offers an alternative to production-oriented agriculture. It includes healthy diet, food diversification and sustainable consumption; inclusive value chain and fair market access; resilient food system and production (against shocks); reduction of food loss and food waste; and policy and

governance.

The United Nations Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) was held in September 2021 in the margins of the United Nations General Assembly to identify ways national and regional action can help deliver the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through transforming food systems. Among the 2030 goals are zero hunger, zero poverty, gender equality and climate action. The Summit laid out a vision and actions for a more nourishing, sustainable and inclusive food system. The Summit brought together all UN Member States and constituencies around the world, including thousands of youth, food producers, Indigenous Peoples, civil society, researchers, private sector, and the UN system to bring about tangible, positive changes to the world’s food systems[3].

According to UNFSS, today’s food systems generate over 12 trillion US dollars a year in hidden

environmental, social, and economic costs. Food systems are subtracting rather than adding value, and rethinking how food is financed will help bring in investment and successfully tackle challenges like hunger and poverty. UNFSS discussed financial system reforms to redirect incentives and create the enabling environment for investment to flow to achieve healthier, more sustainable, and equitable food systems.

Sustainable financing includes stimulating private investment and blended finance, including access and suitability for small scale farmers, farmer cooperatives and corporations (a focus of the Government of Indonesia, also relates to the Food Estates) and agro-enterprises/agribusinesses. Public and private financing can be mobilised to increase the availability of certain foods and fiscal policies such as taxing unhealthy foods can be used to change consumer behaviours.[4]

Indonesia has positioned the food sector as a national development priority. Law Number 18 of 2012 mandates that food administration is carried out to meet basic human needs which is to provide fair, equitable and sustainable benefits based on food sovereignty, food independence, and national food security. For that it is necessary to develop a sustainable food system that is applicable, appropriate and adequate to the conditions and food practices in Indonesia by ensuring that all stakeholders, including vulnerable groups gain access to, and are actively involved in, food systems and practices, in line with the TPB (Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan)/SDGs.[5]

GoI has made commitments on food systems, including the Presidential Decree 18/2020 on Mid-Term National Development Plan 2020-2024 (RPJMN, p. 62[6]) establishing food systems transformation as one of the national policy priorities. The food development agenda focuses on:[7]

(i) Increasing availability, access and quality of food consumption, including promoting local food, diversification of food consumption, fortification and biofortification, and provision of nutritious food for specific groups such as children and maternal health groups,

(ii) Increasing access, price stability and sustainability of food production, that includes strengthening national seed production system, eco-agriculture and enhancing strategic food production, including aquaculture-based food production,

(iii) Enhancing productivity and quality of human resources development in agricultural sector, such as develop the data base of farmers, education and training, farmers corporation, agricultural insurance, inclusive financing and market access,

(iv) Enhancing the sustainability of agricultural resources supports, such as increasing efficiency and quality of soils and water, promoting agroecosystem health, providing infrastructure and agricultural technology as well as digitalization of agriculture,

(v) Developing food system and governance, including strengthening national logistic system and

sustainable food systems.

The first Indonesian Food Systems Summit Dialogue (FSSD) in 2021 was organised based on five action tracks to reflect the GoI commitments: ensuring access to safe and nutritious food for all; shifting to sustainable consumption patterns; boosting nature-positive production; advancing equitable livelihoods;

and building resilience to vulnerabilities, shocks and stress. The FSSD identified potential solutions for each of the priority areas[8]. The Summit represented a range of stakeholders including national and subnational government institutions, the private sector, business associations, civil society organisations, small-scale producers and family farming groups, youth, women and consumers organisations, community groups, universities and UN-based organisations in Indonesia. The participants of the FSSD agreed that the food system in Indonesia should reflect the context of Indonesia as an archipelagic country with diverse food systems. This requires the transformation of the food systems governance to be more inclusive and accommodating of the roles of sub-national government and local stakeholders.

In 2021 the Government of Indonesia (GoI) signed the Matera Declaration. The signatories "agree to deliver on food security priorities by enhancing efforts in ensuring safe and adequate nutrition for all, ending all forms of malnutrition, preserving agrobiodiversity, as well as relying on science, innovation, advanced business practices and responsible behaviour complementing traditional knowledge, local food culture and best practices in order to achieve SDG 2 targets"[9]. Many FAO Members have already started to build cross-county coalitions around priority topics: reducing food loss and waste; transforming agri-food systems; improving farmers' access to markets and credits; adopting the One Health approach to respond to concrete needs and demands on the ground. FAO’s One Health priorities[10] include strengthening monitoring, surveillance and reporting systems at the regional, national and local levels to prevent and detect animal and zoonotic disease emergence and control disease spread; understanding risk factors, including socioeconomic and cultural contexts, for disease spillover from wildlife to domestic animals and humans, to prevent and manage disease outbreaks; developing capacities at regional, national and local levels for better coordination and information-sharing among institutions and stakeholders; reinforcing veterinary and plant health infrastructure, and safe food and animal production practices from farm to table;

increasing the capacities of the food and agriculture sectors to combat and minimise the risks of antimicrobial resistance; and promoting food safety at national and international levels.

Various other efforts have been made by GoI to improve food systems and food security. To strengthen the implementation of the Food Law, especially food planning, Bappenas with support from EU has developed Indonesia's Sustainable Food System Strategy Paper. The Paper is produced through a participatory process of a range of stakeholders: government, businesses, academia, media and community organisations[11]. Programs to improve food systems include the provision of subsidised fertilisers, construction of irrigation infrastructure, and provision of seeds[12]. GoI is also developing food estates that are managed from upstream to downstream, from planting to sales, in a synergistic and sustainable manner. The food estate in Central Kalimantan will be developed for rice and poultry, the estate in North Sumatra is designed for shallots, garlic, and potatoes, and the estate in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) will focus on rice and corn. In the future, food estate areas will be expanded[13].

This course aims to help GoI along with private sector partners to follow up on commitments that came out of the UNFSS. The course responds to the five UNFSS action tracks mentioned above. The course brings together stakeholders that work at different stages of food systems. In addition to government

representatives, the course will have representatives from businesses, including big private sector companies that work in the food industry; small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that constitute the majority of Indonesia’s food economies, from cooperatives to farm suppliers; retailers, research organisations, think tanks and start-ups.
