    • A

      Share your comments on the objectives and proposed content of this report as outlined above.

      Do you find the proposed scope comprehensive to analyze and discuss the key issues concerning the role of urban and peri-urban food systems in achieving food security and nutrition? Are there any major gaps or omissions?

      Response: In the scope of the report is very good and how about if it also focuses on reporting an experience of the recent situation in Kathmandu valley's food production system, the  Urban and Peri-urban food systems were over stretched to meet demand for nutritious food while at the same time they face own challenges in terms of inadequate capacity to produce caused by inadequate support.  I would like the report to also focus on any successful food system that could have worked breaking the Land fragmentation  It can be Seen the latest situation in Kathmandu valley where cover by houses and affected by the pollution. 90 percent agriculture land in Kathmandu valley and peri –pheri urban, sub urban area arable land using for constructions to the total of land.

      B

      Share good practices and successful experiences on strengthening urban and peri-urban food systems in the context of urbanization and rural transformation, including in the case of emergencies or conflicts.

       

      		  

      C

      Share recent literature, case studies and data that could help answer the following questions:

      1. What are the main bottlenecks hampering the contribution of urban and peri-urban food systems to food security and nutrition?

      Response : If the reforms the agriculture in Kathmandu valley implantation and classification of land reforms. The act it should active.(Inputs) to urban farmers by government, climate change, poor road and market infrastructure, inadequate access to market information, weak or inadequate law enforcement for our case is the management of cattle in urban areas, and investment in agriculture etc.

      2.  How can urban and peri-urban food systems be transformed and made more equitable and accessible both for food system actors and in terms of food security and nutrition outcomes?

      Response:  The Urban and Peri-Urban are critical condition should be commonly known to all stakeholders and be designed in a participatory manner where by the small holder farmers are linked to the services that they need such as technical /advisory services, capital for investment, technology service providers, government should involves its tax payers money on address issues of market infrastructure, irrigation, transport network value chain, early warning and early response,

      3.  How can urban food supply chains, formal and informal, local and global, be made more resilient to ensure food security and nutrition within urban settings?

      Response:  By Documenting all supply chains, ensuring they are well coordinated and that they work together (strengthen their linkages), Government should support in addressing their underlying challenges or indirect factors such as bureaucracy, promote transparency and accountability, government should ensure quality assurance of products or inputs for the farmers.

      4. What changes are needed in urban planning to better support all dimensions of food security – including support for human rights, agency and sustainability? Which are some of the measures that can strengthen the agency of local actors in urban and peri-urban food systems? 

      Response:  Urban areas normally develop land use plans that include special allocation of some land for purpose of fresh food production. Now at this situation land is main problem, for good food practice. And to enhance the appropriate agri inputs production. The land use plans are good in themselves until they are abused/not followed. For example other government policies such as the Mining Policy may end up affecting a land use plan of a urban area. Issues of access to nutritious food for the urban population should be made a Human rights issue. Local actors in urban and peri-urban food systems should be represented in legislative function of local authorities so that their voices are considered in decision making.

      5. How can national and municipal governments strengthen the potential for low-carbon, inclusive, relatively self-sufficient and resilient cities and towns to drive improved food security and nutrition in the wake of climate change and other crises?

      Response:  Through environment protection and regeneration, diversify sources of energy for us here the high reliance on fuel vehicle, like a public bus, heavy vehicle, manmade garbage, lack of the city management trees and forests. Investment in natural gas and in the use of solar generated electricity for household use can cause an impact. Monsoon season rainfall in right time very late and very soon there is not fix rain it also affecting climate change.

      6. What are the most appropriate policies (and gaps in existing policies) along the rural-urban continuum to address issues of land tenure, urban expansion into farmland and the growing competition for natural resources?

      7.  How can urban and peri-urban food systems ensure that food and nutrition needs of specific groups of people, such as migrants, the internally-displaced, children, adolescent, etc., are met?

      Response:  By having contingency plans and budgets in place in case of emergencies such as condition in the around the city. Men is centered in city area to grab the opportunity in Kathmandu valley Man of crowd, Centering and migrating from village to city. Food Security and Nutrition is endanger in Kathmandu valley. Some time being delay cause of political instability hindering to working a progress seeming the gap of political commitment. Role of various factor having role player in agriculture. Lack of data, vulnerable persons or households. Strengthen linkages with non-state actors such as social sector, social networks, engage private profit companies to get their corporate social responsibility to be triggered in case of a disaster. etc

      8.  What are the potential benefits and challenges of territorial markets for strengthening food security and nutrition for urban populations?

      Response:

      • Potential benefits: Food prices are highly increasing around the 15 to 25% per 6 month and year. It makes high risk level of food system people losing their buying power lack of the appropriate resources management located in central places where majority can access; other social services can be accessed from such market gathering. Decreasing the purchasing power. Increasing population in urban sector. Senior citizen, Children, Disable person unable to arrangement on the living together lack of the government support. 

      Challenges:

      Urban agriculture creating self employment jobs. Majority of small holder farmer survive from urban agro base program. They generate income from agriculture production Farmer plays the dimentional role to feed the urban peoples. specially young farmers can play the vital role in agriculture.

      The situation is changing now young farmer and youth boarding to gulf, Europe, America and middle east Asian countries for the search the appropriate income generate. Government has should be make ensure youth in the own country. But now is a opposite of conditions.   

      10.  How can citizens be engaged and empowered to drive inclusive, transparent, participatory processes for urban transformations, ensuring synergies and complementarity with city councils?

      Response:

Kathmandu valley is s Federal governing center, Name of the Bagmati province, including its 7 province have acting by federal of Democratic, Republic of Nepal and governing the under the Three government federal, province, local  body of village municipality and city municipality government system, and each of the government lunch their program according to their capacity.
