Presentation of the "Development of voluntary guidelines for the sustainability of the Mediterranean diet" by Sandro Dernini and Roberto Capone, at the 10YFP SFSP Technical Workshop
SUSTAINABLE DIETS IN THE CONTEXT OF SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEMS, 12–13 July 2017, FAO headquarters, Rome
The technical workshop, organized by FAO, in collaboration with UNSCN and UNEP, is planned as an implementation activity of the 10YFP SFSP core initiative on Sustainable Diets in the Context of Sustainable Food Systems.
The notion of “sustainable diets” has re-emerged as an important lever to support SDG#12, as well as SDG#2. During the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2), many of today’s major nutrition challenges were associated with the failure of the food systems. As a follow up to the ICN2, FAO and WHO jointly organized the International Symposium on Sustainable Food Systems for Healthy Diets and Improved Nutrition. The Symposium called for a change in paradigm from just supplying food to providing high-quality diets to nourish people within the context of sustainable food systems. In doing so, it also pointed out possible entry points within the food system through which changes could be made.
The concept of sustainable diets presents an opportunity to successfully advance commitments to sustainable development and the elimination of poverty, food and nutrition insecurity, and poor health outcomes. Therefore, this technical workshop comes timely as it aims to advance our understanding of the status of global debates in order to drive the work on sustainable diets forward. By framing the notion of “sustainable diets in the context of sustainable food systems”, the objective of the technical workshop is to make progress in better understanding the multidimensional sustainability of the diets, in both developed and developing countries, and their impacts at various levels, in the context of specific food systems.
This workshop will examine potential contributions to enhance sustainable food systems and the enabling environment that promote healthy dietary practices. It will allow for a better understanding of drivers of change and potential ways and means to improve current dietary patterns and food consumption trends towards more sustainable food systems for healthy diets.
An activity of the 10YFP Sustainable Food Systems Programme contributing to the Decade of Action on Nutrition 2016–2025
