Changes in weather patterns require adjustments in farming
• Lower productivity• Increased pressure on ecosystems
Smallholders lack capacity to adapt
• Limited access to assets and services • Policy-related constraints

Toward a sustainable food systemReducing food loss and waste
Reducing food loss and waste is critical for sustainability
• Create standard definition, measurable quantitative and qualitative criteria
• Set concrete targets at regional and country levels
• Engage in national and local awareness campaigns
• Invest to improve storage, transport, access to credit for smallholders

• Implement institutional reforms for efficiency of water distribution
• Introduce economic incentives to water management e.g. taxes, quotas, use rights
• Invest in traditional technologies (e.g. dams) and nontraditional ones (e.g. green infrastructure) to improve sustainability
• Improve conveyance, distribution, application efficiency of irrigation systems

Proposed actions• Implement sustainable intensification
technologies
• Invest in perennials to improve soil health
• Promote climate-smart soil and land management
• Manage ecosystem services at landscape level, coordinating across farm boundaries
• Recognize soil, land, and ecosystem services as public goods

• Meeting SDGs will require joint, context-specific solutions
• Understanding how value chains bring food from farm to table can help identify solutions

Designing better value chain interventions
• Fill knowledge gaps on productivity, diet quality, environmental sustainability
• Analyze and manage trade-offs between nutritious food production, land and water inputs, and climate change risks
• Engage private sector to align public and private objectives

Promising green energy solutions• Solar power in Africa
• Mini-grid solar may be lowest-cost technology option for rural areas
• Biofuels• High-quality biofuels in poor countries can
reduce transport fossil fuel use• Rising global demand for biofuels could raise
rural incomes
• Improved cookstoves • Substitute for cleaner fuels such as natural gas• Can reduce biomass—one of largest sources
of global greenhouse gas emissionsPhoto credit: Panos Photo/Abbie Trayler-Smith

Global diet trends• Overconsumption of calories• Overconsumption of protein, shift toward
animal-based sources• Rising beef consumption
Proposed diet shifts• Reduce overconsumption of calories
• Lessen intake of animal-based food, especially beef• Can lead to largest reduction of agric.

Regional and national developments MIDDLE EAST & NORTH AFRICA
• Persistent conflict in Syria • Rising prevalence of overnutrition
SOUTH ASIA• Bangladesh: New nutrition, food safety
policy• India: New sanitation, irrigation program
AFRICA• 18 countries achieved poverty MDG• El Niño; Conflicts in Nigeria, Somalia,
South Sudan
LATIN AMERICA & CARRIBBEAN• Poverty & hunger MDGs achieved• Increasing overweight, obesity

Regional developments: Africa
Poverty, hunger, child stunting (Annual average, %)
Progress from 2003 to 2014• Poverty: 43% to 37% • Hunger: 22% to 17%• Stunting: 40% to 36%
BUT econ. growth is slow• GDP 1.3% (2008-14)
Looking forward• Accelerate economic growth • Reduce fatalities from civil unrest• Promote youth employment

Regional developments: Central Asia
Russian economic downturn • Reduced remittances, return
of migrant workers, currency volatility
Vulnerabilities• China and Russia economic
slowdown• El Niño• Lack of social protection
Declining commodity prices• Collapse of export revenues
• Develop policies to mitigate macroeconomic, structural imbalances
• Promote climate change adaptation strategies
• Improve social protection to reduce poverty, hunger, effects of external shocks
Looking forward

Regional developments: South Asia
Numerous challenges to food security and nutrition• Bangladesh: Social unrest• India, Pakistan: Extreme weather events e.g. drought, unseasonable rain• Nepal: Earthquake
Looking forward—increase transparency in governance, consolidate programs, attract private sector investment in infrastructure

Regional developments: East Asia
• China: High priorities incl. food safety, land reform, sustainable production
• Thailand: struggling with results of rice-buying policy—huge stockpiles of costly rice
• Indonesia and Philippines: El Niño wreaked havoc on rice production, causing high imports and price increases
• Global warming, changing diets, and rising incomes will continue to strain supply chains
• Trans-Pacific Partnership likely to benefit, but force countries to give up self-sufficiency policies and restructure ag programs
• New Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank likely to play a key role in future development efforts
Looking forward

MDGs • Hunger, poverty halved
Deforestation • Slowing but should be
closely monitored• 1.7 million hectares
deforested in 2014
Slow economic growth • Low commodity prices,
decline in capital flows, little infrastructure investments
Looking forward• Global economic slowdown may
lead to rising unemployment, poverty
• Regional Plan for Food Security must strengthen policies, including safety nets
• Persistence of negative weather conditions—devise coherent set of macroeconomic, sectoral policies
