10YFP Sustainable Food Systems Programme
Description
The Programme brings together existing initiatives and partnerships working in related areas, highlighting good practices and success stories, and builds synergies as well as cooperation among stakeholders to leverage resources towards mutual objectives and minimize duplication of ongoing efforts. The Work Areas of the SFS Programme are:- Raising awareness on the need to adopt SCP patterns in food systems- Building enabling environments for sustainable food systems- Increasing the access to and fostering the application of actionable knowledge, information and tools to mainstream SCP in food systems- Strengthening collaboration among food system stakeholders to increase the sector’s SCP performanceWith the following focus themes:- Sustainable diets (addressing together sustainability, food security and nutrition by linking consumption and production with food and nutrient requirements);- Sustainability along all food value chains;- Reduction of food losses and waste;- Local, national, regional multi-stakeholder platforms for the shift towards more sustainable food systems; and- Resilient, inclusive, diverse food production systems to enhance their sustainability.The Programme members develop and implement projects and joint initiatives within the above Work Areas and focus themes, at global, regional, national and local level.
Enhancing the development of skills and capacities to promote sustainable consumption and production in food systems among all relevant stakeholder groups is a sub-Work Area, and thus one of the priorities, of the SFS Programme.
South Africa, Switzerland, WWF and Hivos are the Co-Leads of the SFS Programme, supported by a 23 member Multi-stakeholder Advisory Committee (MAC). Furthermore, the Programme currently has more than 70 partners worldwide.
Members of the Multi-stakeholder Advisory Committee: Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, France, Honduras, Netherlands, United States, Biovision Foundation, IISD, IFOAM - Organics International, Global Nature Fund, German Development Institute, Hebrew University, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, ENEA, CIHEAM, FAO, UNEP, UNSCN, Barilla, FoodDrinkEurope, Nestlé, Smaackmakers
Programme Partners: 72 from all UN regions.

2.4
By 2030, ensure sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems, that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, drought, flooding and other disasters and that progressively improve land and soil quality
2.4.1
Proportion of agricultural area under productive and sustainable agriculture
2.5
By 2020, maintain the genetic diversity of seeds, cultivated plants and farmed and domesticated animals and their related wild species, including through soundly managed and diversified seed and plant banks at the national, regional and international levels, and promote access to and fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge, as internationally agreed

Correct and prevent trade restrictions and distortions in world agricultural markets, including through the parallel elimination of all forms of agricultural export subsidies and all export measures with equivalent effect, in accordance with the mandate of the Doha Development Round
2.b.1
Agricultural export subsidies
2.c
Adopt measures to ensure the proper functioning of food commodity markets and their derivatives and facilitate timely access to market information, including on food reserves, in order to help limit extreme food price volatility
