5. The agri value chain
Something missing?

6. Most of our diets are not ideal
Healthy
(high nutritional value)
Win-lose diet
„affluent urban diet“
Win-win diet
climate-smart nutrition
Lose-lose diet
„fast food diet“
Lose-win diet
„rural poor diet“
Good for the planet
(low environmental footprint)

7. They deliver untapped adaptation and mitigation benefits
Why include demand side measures in agri policies
… and NDCs!
They deliver untapped adaptation and mitigation benefits
They allow for a holistic planning in the agri sector to meet SDGs
They are an entry point for the private sector
Verbally add if time allows:
The current global population experiences 3 forms of malnutrition in large numbers:
820 million people undernourished
2 billion people micronutrient deficient
2.1 billion adults overweight
Global population growth increases the challenge.
Climate change increases the challenge through a negative impact on food production.
The current global food system (production + consumption) does not operate in a way to solve the challenge.
 A large scale transition is needed involving all stages of global food supply chains.
Interventions at production AND consumption stage are needed and should be designed in an interlinked way.
Production: climate-smart agriculture, sustainable intensification, adaptation and mitigation along the entire value chain
Consumption: „demand side measures“, i.e. reducing food loss and waste, nutrition shift
Outcomes:
Better nutrition status
More climate resilience
Less GHG emissions
