Sara shares comments on the draft, focusing in particular on the Latin America and Caribbean perspective and sharing some references. She also raises queries on land use and on territorial governance and proposes CFS to facilitate intersectorial dialogue for public policies and to promote mechanisms for more integrated food systems.

John introduces the issue of off-farm income, which often constitutes a significant portion of family farms income and is not adequately addressed in development planning. For instance, part-time farmers may not be interested in sustainable intensification or in moving from paddy to non-paddy crops to save water.

Cascade states that it is important to consider the scale of analysis and cross-region aspects when assessing urban/rural transformation from a food security and nutrition point of view. To illustrate this point he gives the example of rising household demand for meat in urbanizing China. This change of consumption patterns not only has implications for household health in urban China but also for household livelihoods in Brazil where the meat is produced, for the local environment and finally has broader global implications for climate change.

Saydagzam stresses that an increasing demand for food and a relentless urbanization will inevitably have negative repercussions on food security. The complexity of the issue warrants finding very specific answers for each of the components in order to revitalize the production of food.
