Developing the National Pathway towards Sustainable Food Systems

- MAFRA gathers voices toward the UN Food Systems Summit -

	《 주 요 내 용 》
◈ The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs plans to hold the first ‘Member State Dialogue’ to gather opinions of stakeholders in preparation of the United Nations Food Systems Summit scheduled to be held in September. ㅇ The first dialogue will be held at 2 pm on March 30, Tue. ㅇ Anyone can attend the meeting and send ideas via official Youtube channel of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.

□ The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (MAFRA) and the Korea Rural Economic Institute (KREI) announced that they would hold the first meeting to gather opinions of producers, consumers and experts on March 30, in preparation of the United Nations Food Systems Summit scheduled to be held in September.

ㅇ The term “food system” refers to the constellation of activities involved in producing, processing, transporting and consuming food.

□ The United Nations (UN) will hold the Summit in New York in September to explore pathways to improve food systems in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as Zero Hunger, No Poverty and Climate Action by 2030.

ㅇ Accordingly, 57 countries nominated Member State Dialogue Convenors and 10 countries are organizing Member State Dialogues to shape national pathways towards sustainable food systems, as of 24 March.

ㅇ The UN Secretary-General asked the member countries to hold their own Member State Dialogues, emphasizing the importance of various stakeholders’ participation, so that this Summit can serve as a people’s summit – a summit for everyone everywhere.

ㅇ In February, in line with the international community’s move, the Republic of Korea nominated President Kim Hong-sang of the KREI as the convenor to lead Member State Dialogues.

□ From the end of March, Korea plans to organize Member State Dialogues toward sustainable food systems under the theme of “food security, sustainable food production and consumption, and food for all.”

ㅇTo enhance the relevance with the discussions on food strategies so far, the National Food Plan designed by the Special Commission on Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Policies, on top of the opinions gathered for the previous two years, will be the basis for discussion.

□ The first Member State Dialogue will be held in Seoul at 2 pm on Mar 30 Tue, chaired by the Convenor, President Kim Hong-sang of KREI.

ㅇ As this is the first Dialogue in preparation of the international discussion, Mr. David Nabarro, Senior Adviser on the Food Systems Summit, will explain the background of the Summit. In the meantime, the MAFRA and the Special Commission on Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Policies will introduce the plan of Member State Dialogues in Korea and the National Food Plan, respectively.

ㅇ Also, KREI will announce the results of the survey conducted with the Korea Agency of Education, Promotion and Information Service in Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (EPIS) on the Korean people’s awareness of food systems. Also, consumers’ and producers’ associations and experts will have the opportunity to share their ideas.

ㅇ Given the COVID-19 pandemic, only ten presenters and discussants will be gathered on the site. Anyone interested in the Dialogue can join via the official Youtube channel of MAFRA (youtube.com/mafrakorea) and send their ideas in real-time.

□ After this inception Dialogue, a total of five Member State Dialogues will be held in Korea by May. The series of Dialogues will reflect voices of various sectors into Korea’s mid-to-long term food policy and be introduced to the world through the website of the United Nations Food Security Summit (summitdialogues.org).

ㅇ The schedules and relevant information of future Member State Dialogues after the first Dialogue will be published on the website of KREI (www.krei.re.kr) in April. Meanwhile, the notice board to collect opinions will be up and running.

□ A staff member of the Ministry said, “Given the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change situations, the international consensus has been reached in transformation of each country’s food systems to reduce undernourished people and environmental burden by the agricultural sector.”

ㅇ “With the focus on the agenda considered important among Korean people, MAFRA will formulate and implement policies toward sustainable food systems and take steps to promote our achievements worldwide at the September Summit.”
