URGENT – FOR YOUR ACTION
Deadline 30 April 2021
Dear Mountain Partnership members and friends,
We are contacting you as there is an opportunity for highlighting mountains and mountain sustainable food systems at the UN Food Systems Summit<https://www.un.org/en/food-systems-summit/about>.
There is the possibility of proposing “game changing ideas and solutions” under the five action tracks<https://www.un.org/en/food-systems-summit/action-tracks> of the Summit. The action tracks are the main areas of work around which the Summit is structured.
This can be done by filling the following online survey forms by 30 April 2021 – please note that a separate survey should be filled in for each action track (AT):
· AT1 : http://bit.ly/AT1-Survey
Solutions that can be supported: Promote women-led enterprises to grow and sell nutritious but neglected crops in mountains. It can be promoted by the Mountain Partnership Products Initiative.
You can mention mountain areas in particular geography or type of setting.
· AT2 : http://bit.ly/AT2-Survey1
Solution that can be supported: Labelling to add value to mountain products. It addresses the problem of mountain products recognition and value addition. It’s an existing solution that needs to be scaled up. It can be leveraged by MP members and by the Mountain Partnership Products Initiative.
You can mention mountain areas in particular geography or type of setting.
· AT3 : http://bit.ly/AT3-Survey1
Solutions that can be supported: Scaling out agroecological production systems, Restoring grasslands, shrublands and savannah through extensive livestock-based food systems, Conservation and biocentric restoration with indigenous people food systems. It can be promoted by the collaboration among the MP members.
You can mention mountain areas in particular geography or type of setting.
· AT4 : http://bit.ly/AT4-Survey1
Solution that can be supported: Strengthening organization in the agri-food sector and Promoting inclusive and sustainable agroecological network chains for small farmers and indigenous communities linked to rural and urban consumers. It can be promoted by the Mountain Partnership Products Initiative and the Coalition for Fragile Ecosystems.
You can mention mountain areas in particular geography or type of setting.
· AT5 : http://bit.ly/AT5-Survey1
Solution that can be supported: Expanded and improved food security forecasting and monitoring, based on the integrated food security phase classification as the accepted global food security analysis standard. It can be leveraged by the MPS in collaboration with FAO.
You can mention mountain areas in particular geography or type of setting.
You may also mention the Mountain Partnership and the Mountain Partnership Secretariat as reference supporting these ideas and solutions.
By participating in these surveys, you can promote attention to mountain peoples and their food systems. Please take the time to participate and invite other relevant partners to join!
As a contribution to the discussion on sustainable food systems in mountains an info sheet has been developed by the Mountain Partnership Secretariat and Theresa Tribaldos, Centre for Development and Environment – herewith attached. Please feel free to share it with your partners. Your comments, thoughts and reflections on this document would be appreciated – please send them to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> directly.
We would also like to encourage you to engage in the national dialogues organized in view of the Summit. Please find here<https://summitdialogues.org/overview/member-state-food-systems-summit-dialogues/convenors/> the list of Member State Dialogue Convenors.
Many thanks from the Mountain Partnership Secretariat.
