Definition

Food security exists when aIl people, at all times, have physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life.

Nutritional component is integral to the concept of food security

Nutrition security brings the concept of food security down to the individual level

Definition

Four pillars

•Availability of adequate food

•Access to adequate food

•Utilization (nutrition)

•Stability/sustainability

Page 5: Food Security APF Food Security Forum 13 th January 2012 Stineke Oenema.

Global context

•1 B people are food insecure, 2 B inadequate nutrition

•Majority directly or indirectly dependent on agriculture, small and land less producers.

•Women deserve special attention because they are farmers and responsible for household food security and because they are more vulnerable.

•Agriculture is key to food security, however not the only “ key” : Land, water (natural resources) gender, nutrition, power imbalances and conflicts, climate and emergencies etc

•Link with other crises: economic, financial, climate system crisis

Right to Food

The right to have regular, permanent and unrestricted access, either directly or by means of financial purchases, to quantitatively and qualitatively adequate and sufficient food corresponding to the cultural traditions of the people to which the consumer belongs, and which ensure a physical and mental, individual and collective, fulfilling and dignified life free of fear.

Theories of Change and policies

- UNICEF framework- FIVIMS - CDI/WUR- Dutch policy (DDE and ELI)- Agri Profocus- ICCO

UNICEF Framework

Poor water/sanitation and

inadequate healthservices

Child malnutrition,death and disability

Inadequate maternal and child-

care practices

Insufficient accessto food

Quantity and quality of actualresources - human, economicand organizational - and the

way they are controlled

Potential resources: environment, technology, people

ICCO Alliance

Sphere of control Sphere of influence Sphere of interest

Complementary approaches:

at local level•Tailor-made technical assistance•Sustainable production & storage•Smallholder business organizations•Coalitions of chain actors •Develop rural finance•Source funding opportunities •Focus on gender equity •Nutrition awareness/ education

At national and global levelLobby and networking for :•scaling-up Inclusive value chains•effective public policies, •enabling environment and accountability

Production: strong local actors; strong business services; value addition in chains; Markets: access to markets and information; innovative products and markets; resilience against price volatility; local supply bases (rural-urban connect)Consumption: improved consumption patternsPolicy : inclusive food and agriculture and business policies

Improved local food systems and inclusive value chains

•Smallholder productivity and incomes•Position of women•Household food and nutrition security

Sustainable livelihoods

Smallholders and local-global systems for food security

Conclusions ?

- Frameworks tend to become more and more complicated, including more aspects, but basics remain the same: access availability and utilization

- Current programs of many actors tend to focus on “quick wins” , underlying aspects are hardly tackled

Page 15: Food Security APF Food Security Forum 13 th January 2012 Stineke Oenema.

Conclusions ?

- What choices should APF make (being a network) to contribute to improving food security ?

- Make food security visible in TOC- What is the strength of APF with regard to

food security?
