    • Hi everyone.

      In my opinion, value chains is knew as a way to prolong and widen scale and level of derivative products from original product. From that, it accumulates and creates new values.

      In case of food and nutrition, it should be based on criteria and dimensions of FAO on food security and nutrition (Availability, Access, Utilization and Stable). Under this overview, value chain will support and improve every stage and every process of Availability, Access, Utilization and Stable.

      For example, under science and technology development, utilization of food and nutrition is so improved in/through value chains (quality and quantity). Then, this is strengthening Availability, Access and Stable to food and nutrition to every stakeholders in society and community.

      For Availability,

      For Access,

      For Stable,

      We also see shape in value chain to improve nutrition

    • Dear All,

      It is an interesting topic. Basically, ICT is not cheap for the poor and agriculture sector. But it will reduce risk and loss of agriculture sector as  well as save resources. 

      Please imagine that: ICT will provide connection between farmers, distributor and consumer in APEC, provide services of agriculture production and processing including insurance, R@D, value chains, marketing as well as custom, etc

    • Dear All,

      Under my  knowledge of plant genetic resources for future. I would like to deliver my opinion on this topic as below

      Pulses crop species particular and wild plant species of family leguminosea  general are great values in food security and nutrition. Furthermore, they also bring huge and hidden benefits of environment, economics, culture and biological diversity, etc. Therefore, to full potential use of this resources, inventory, conservation, evaluation and exploitation are firstly carried out synchronously in overview and comprehensive strategy, plan, awareness, action and capacity building.

      The secondary, global matters today are also required full and responsible participation and cooperation of whole institutions, organization, country, union, association, sector, area, etc. at all levels.  

      Finally, benefits sharing amongst parties should be fair and right to international law/ norms. Whereas, benefits of poor and developing countries are conducted and putted in highest priorities.

      Thank you for taking time and consideration. 

      Best regards,

    • Dear All,

      It is nice to sharing knowledge, experience and interest to a pressing topic in developing countries. I just have 3 suggested points

      1. Should planning, design to integrate multi-purposes of sub-areas inside and outside of cities including landscapes (meadow, ponds. lakes, ect), parks. entertainment places, ect for food production. 

      This could strengthen awareness and action of society to food issues;

      Agriculture production in inner city could help to solve social issues in developing countries such as conserve culture, villages, pollutions, ect

      2. Estimate food needs to develop plan of food production or delivers;

      3. architect and planners  should integrate green, economic, social, cleaning recycle solutions in their thinkings including food security. This will save resources and environment cost

    • Hi everyone,

      In my opinion, we are trying to manage and develop ecosystem services at different levels, with different approaches, methods under sustainable development goals (environment, food security and culture) because at different development, cultural and social levels, we will have various overviews,  approaches to ecosystem services.  Then, we should deliver some questions:

      1. How many ecosystem types are there (natural, artificial, semi artificial, etc.)?

      2. Backgrounds of stakeholders and linkages of stakeholders in developing ecosystem services

      3. How will benefits of ecosystem services be shared with stakeholders?

      4. Whether do ecosystem services provide enough livelihood and food for participant farmers? 

      For instance, in the case of longstanding and traditional ecosystems, their services will focus on indigenous knowledge, community culture and diversity of biology, geography, landscape, etc.  But how can farmers join these activities to get money for themselves? I think that stakeholders should take farmers direct participation in this activities. Throughout, these farmers will get more livelihood from their agricultural sectors. 

      Best regards,

      Kien

    • Hi everyone,

      I think this is an interesting topic for discussion. However, I am not sure there is any expert could share their experience in this issue because we are talking to the future after trade agreements related to food security.

      In my opinions, term of food security is also under top national security of any country. Therefore, every country will have their national strategy to ensure their food security under trade agreements. Maybe developed country will focus on technology and science as well as environment friendly production practices to increase value of food and standard from low cost. Whereas, developing countries will have to face to great issues such as seedling, technology, administration, legal and sustainable environment. All of them will make food in developing countries will higher than at developed countries. But in earlier stage  it will be supported by cheap cost of natural resources and environmental use. After this time, price of food will increase fast and high in these countries because cheap cost also go together with not sustainability.

      In general, the linkage in earlier time will affect actively to four dimensions for global consumers and producers  both but long term will be great challenges to consumers and producers in developing countries. Then, we hope that international institutions and developing countries should prepare/develop suitable strategies/ approaches in the future. Specially, in beginning of trade agreements to exploit/attract and use effectively the investment flows to escape the trap of the trades.

      I am sure that globalization is an indispensable orientation of history that help use every source  in the most safety but it also requires  acceptance from members.

    • Dear all,

      1. I think that the main drivers of development for Vietnam in the next 30 years is models of public and private partners (PPP) in agriculture and rural sector while the PPP should be considered as service providers for the agriculture and rural sector from policy, legal, capital, technology and science, planning, forecast, processing, value chains, correct information and needs. The most important things are Vietnamese trademarks development, land accumulation, educated/trained labors with cheap cost. And main obstacles to this sector is poor/low facilitation with lack of information, planning.

      2. For this, I think that all scenarios can happen but they can appear, change each to others belong to economics, social situations. Because historically events proofed that there is no  a perfect scenario.

      3. For solutions, of course government should mobilize and develop the private source in the sector as well as building institution and legal frame for the cooperation. A worst scenario can occur that has  severe impacts of climate change/environment and backward policies in the sector, and competitiveness  to Vietnamese agricultural products. This small scale production models should be maintained and developed to protect the dynamic and flexibility of the sectors.

      4.  For key first step, Vietnamese government should invite the regional/international consultants/organizations and development institutions such as ADB, Worldbank, EU, US, Japan,  China, India, FAO, WIPO, ect to consult for developing strategy/planning in the future and propose the commitments of partners in technical, capital, market issues and risks far away.

    • Dear Sir/Madam,

      I think that principles for responsible agricultural investment should be under globalization, health of consumers, producers, environments and profits to stakeholders. In my opinions, principle No1 is opening market mechanism in agriculture sector, where every governments should cut down and remove out their subsidies to the sector.

      Why globalization? because, it help agricultural products become goods under kinds of industry and help completion of the sector under comparative advantages like technology, cheap labour sources, natural conditions, etc. And the most important, it will promote agriculture production as well as distribute fresh, safe food and nutrition to consumers with cheapest cost. 

      Health of consumers and producers, if this is guaranty, I believe that environment will be protected and profits of stakeholders will be ensure.

    • Dear Sirs/Madams,

      In my opinion, needs of nutrition of humankind from agriculture and food systems has not changed, even if it is higher than before. But the way that men want to get nutrition and energy is changed. It are foods and agricultural products that must be convenience for usage, storage and  transportation. Meaningful, agriculture and food system must be fresh, clean and safe in first. Next, agriculture and food system must meet environmental criteria as well as standards of quality and good management under the globalization. Then we could focus on some fields that could help to improve nutrient values from products of agriculture and foods.

      1. Indigenous knowledge to  nutrient values of various agricultural products;

      This is the simplest way to improve nutrition to poor communities and food shortage; 

      2.  Advanced scientific knowledge for agriculture and food systems;

      This will help commodities of agriculture and foods is easy for processing, usage, storage and transportation. Whole men, including producers, processors, distributors and consumers will be benefit and profit from these.

      3. Policies and mechanism;

      To have climate and corridors, policy and mechanism should be developed and implemented to encourage indigenous and advaced scientific knowledge could meet  each others and promote processing industry develop faster than.

       4. Global/ regional standards

      The difference of standards will prevent against move of nutrition flows in products of agriculture and foods between nationals and continents.

    • Dear Sir/Madam,

      In my opinion, there are 3 key benefits  from forests and trees, that is biological diversity, ecosystem/environments and last one- landscape. They are heritages and values of community and human kind.  These benefits are in the meaningful for long term for humankind, that provided frequently food and nutrition, medicine, even if livelihood for local community in a long time. In fact, these were under stability and sustainability in over past centeries. But over use and over exploitation of man destroyed and losed the balance. For me, I do not agree to any private own type  to forest or forest land because above mentioned heritages/values could not divide in to small pieces. Small pieces will threaten and make lose the value forest as well as prevent against to effort of society in forestation and protection. Then we should raise fund for community and government to protect and develop rest of forest of the planet in line with strengthening awareness and action of whole society.  At the time, forest also should is transferred and managed by community and government. These request determination of community and government by benefit in long term.

      A big question/great challenges, that are livelihood of a lot of farmers in developing countries is  lived on forest. That could damage to forest. Therefore, the benefit of currently generation is conflicting to the future generation.  These is question of policy makers and researchers!

    • Dear everyone,

       

      I would like some small ideas:

      Generally, whole nutrient and health issues  are  under Ministry of health. However, that oriented and mentioned FAO here is various nutrient sources  in agriculture products seen like  as basic inputs  to supply everything for mankind from foods, including energy, nutrient, drugs, ect .  Then, the nutrient programmers  should be considered as key indicates to assess the  success of national  programmers and also be integrated in other ones. In personal  knowledge, there may be  3 ways recommended to obtain the purposes:

      1.    At community level, diversity of crop species needed to just  improve livelihood and also secure to food and nutrients;

      2.    At crop breeding programmers,  every crop should be studied  towards multi use purposes such as multi-nutrient components. For examples, sweetpotato, potato

      3.    At national nutrient and health programmers, fresh,  green and various food values are first indicates  

      Best regards,

      KIEN
