Food systems in the member states of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) are changing quickly as economies grow, diets become less traditional and policies shift. This report seeks to provide an overview of key tendencies across diverse food systems in the region over the last decade. Its aim is to assist policymakers in making sense of the ways in which underlying drivers are contributing to shifts in food production, distribution and consumption, as well as the associated implications for social, economic, environmental and health outcomes. It consolidates a series of national-level reports developed for individual BSEC member states, a limited number of National Pathways developed in the lead up to the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit and publicly available comparative datasets drawn from a range of sources. A food system typology is used to organize this information and, where possible, identify trends and tendencies over the last decade. Through the analysis in this report an agenda emerges for future collaboration to deepen understanding and promote critical actions to improve food system performance. The following topics represent areas of convergence where collaboration and cooperation across member states would be most effective: food governance, education, social inclusion, nutrition and environment.
On 6 February 2023, two devastating earthquakes followed by tremors and aftershocks ripped through the southeastern region of Türkiye. The agriculture sector incurred direct damages amounting to USD 1.3 billion, alongside estimated losses of USD 5.1 billion in agricultural production. Smallholder farming households and small-scale agricultural producers were among the hardest hit by the disaster. Therefore, it was imperative for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to complement national response and recovery efforts. In support of national priorities and FAO’s efforts, the Government of Germany, through the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture, contributed USD 1 060 090 for the implementation of project OSRO/ TUR/011/GER, entitled “Rural revive: Rebuilding rural communities through cooperative movement”. This document provides a summary of the context, objective and expected outputs of the project.
