Food system transformation can only be achieved through strong political determination and significant economic changes. So researchers assert as a result of their findings in a paper, “Regenerative Agriculture: An agronomic perspective”, recently published in the quarterly, peer reviewed journal, “Outlook on Agriculture ”. “…. in addition to agronomic science, our analysis is rooted in historical and political economy perspectives. These suggest that the food system is best viewed as an integral part of the much broader network of economic, social and political relations. It follows that many of the faults ascribed to the food system – including hunger, food poverty, poor labour relations, corporate dominance – will not be successfully addressed by action within the food system, but only through higher level political and economic change.”

$$$ What if food cost would account for health side effects? $$$ A thought-provoking ongoing discussion concerning the essential transformation requirements at the global level to achieve greater sustainability. Central to this discourse is the imperative need for a comprehensive true cost accounting within the agricultural system. This accounting should illuminate both the direct and indirect impacts of the agriculture supply chain. A systemic true-cost assessment is necessary to improve decision making and uncover the hidden side effects to the environment, social and health, allowing a proper and efficient allocation of resources. #FAO #sustainableagriculture #health

This short video by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) provides some key agricultural challenges that GrandFriend tries to address. ➡ https://lnkd.in/eEBKqgma ⬅ Information about the project is available on the website https://grandfriend.eu/ #grandfriend #agroentrepreneurship #intergenerationalprograms #sustainableagriculture #lifelonglearning

This year’s session of the State Of Food and Agriculture session by FAO is about True Cost Accounting (#tca). The Impact Institute contributed as an expert in the background literature. I am proud to be part of this journey. It's vital to increase the transparency of the agro-food system’s effects, which alone produces more than one third of total GHGs and one of the highest sectors in terms of externalities generated on the environment and society as a whole. Trade-offs and synergies among possible policy options will be presented during #SOFA2023. #FAO #food #valuechain #impactmeasurement #impacteconomy

Lack of TCA is one of the reasons most of Agricultural Commercialization have been labeled profitable when in reality they are not. Omission of the social and Environmental costs has left most projects feeling they are profitable. It is exciting to see the world realizing that Economic stability at the cost of environmental and social instability is not stability at all. It is just living in denial. Eventually, the pinch is loud enough to be ignored. This is a report worth attending to at all levels. SANEWOPA-Malawi believes in balancing Economic, Social and Environmental Sustainability to ensure True sustainability. #Truecostaccounting #foodsystems #sustainableagripreneurship #sanewopa

The True cost of Food.. production, transportation, processing and consumption all these summarize the true cost of food #SOFA2023

Watching this interesting event, the comment “the problem is we don’t have policies for sustainable and healthy”. Good presentations that apply to the global society! We are working with the Gov of Liberia, with the support of UNICEF, to change the approach to nutrition to increase healthy dietary diversity for children from 3% to 80% over the next 5 years among other objectives through the design of the country’s first #nutrition #SBCstrategy
