Revitalizing ethnic cuisine for improved nature positive food production
and equitable livelihoods
ICIMOD webinar
Tuesday 8 June 2021
As we start the Decade of Action, we are not on track to achieve the SDGs,
and food systems are often part of the problem
Today, many of the world’s current food systems are failing – for people, for the environment, and for future
generations. With only 10 years remaining, many of the 17 SDGs remain far out of reach. In many cases, unsafe
or unsustainable food systems are part of the problem.
• Hundreds of millions of people are hungry with tens of millions more at risk due to the impact of COVID-19,
even as one-third of all food is either lost or wasted
• Malnutrition in all its forms is now the number one factor contributing to the global burden of disease and
reduced life expectancy. More than 2 billion people are overweight or obese
• Food systems contribute up to 29 per cent of all GHG emissions, including 44 per cent of methane.
• Agriculture is also responsible for up to 80 per cent of biodiversity loss; accounts for up to 70 per cent of all
freshwater use and 80 per cent of all deforestation; and uses more than one-quarter of energy expended
globally.

• The Action Areas present the result of propositions submitted to the Action Tracks, integrated across Action Track teams
(with the support of cross-cutting Levers of Change) and consolidated into 54 solution clusters.
• Solution clusters fall under 5 action areas.

GOVERNANCE and PLANNING
After consolidation with the support of the Scientific group and multiple stakeholder consultations, Action Areas could be the
starting point of coalitions of action which could help national governments & multi-stakeholders adopt, on a voluntary basis,
transformational pathways, associated policy and behavioral shifts towards more sustainable food systems.Draft – For Discussion
Pre-Summit: 26-28 July 2021
Over three days, the Pre-Summit will set the stage for the culminating global event by bringing together
diverse actors from around the world to leverage the power of food systems to deliver progress on all
17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Pre-Summit and Summit Approach
To deliver on the Summit’s intended outcomes, the Pre-Summit and Summit will distill their substance
from the more than year-long, intensive and inclusive process to develop a set of emerging
conclusions, actions, and approach to follow up to move the sector forward.

Coordinated campaigns and messages:
Food Systems
There are many institutions that will mobilize • Food Security
and advocate around elements of how food
systems advance the SDGs in 2021, and
there is significant value in finding a unifying
narrative and mechanism for moving forward
in a coordinated campaign.

12Objectives of the Gender Change Lever
• Working with Action Track Leadership teams
and the Secretariat to ensure that solutions
for transforming food systems are gender Gender as a Transversal Theme
transformational, and respond to the needs,
priorities and constraints of different groups Gender as a Stand Alone Goal
• Mobilizing the voices of women across the Women’s Voice and Leadership
globe to meaningfully engage in coming up
with propositions
• Keeping the gender agenda as a top priority
across the UN Food Systems Summit
processes including the game changing
propositions, Dialogues and Champions
Network.
13Key gender issues with respect to different Action
Tracks
• Access to safe and nutritious foods: Social and economic inequalities between men and
women often stand in the way of good nutrition. Initiatives that promote gender equality and
the empowerment of women significantly improve nutrition and well-being for the entire
household.
• Shifting to sustainable consumption patterns: Role of women in shifting consumption
patterns, access to nutrition education, low women’s leadership including in food industry
• Boosting nature positive production: Gender barriers to women’s influence the distribution
of natural resources, inequality in resource access and ownership, decision making on
production, participation in decision-making and benefit-sharing
• Equitable livelihoods: Inequality and power imbalances – at household, community, national
and global levels, discriminatory gender and social norms, practices and roles, shape markets,
institutions and policies
• Resilience to shocks: Gender differences in vulnerabilities, women as agents of change and
innovators, differences in assets, leadership in resilience programmes, need to co-design
solutions and programmes with women
