Benin government is implementing reforms to make the agrifood sector more sustainable while reducing hunger and malnutrition. 🌱 Dominique Dedegbe, Head of the Technical Unit for Monitoring and Support for Food Security Management of the Government of Benin, explains in this interview the status of the agricultural sector in Benin, which plays an important role in the Beninese economy. 🌍 He mentions four challenges that need to be addressed to achieve this goal and speaks about the impact of climate change on the country. 🤝 Dedegbe also shares his expectations for how the Zero Hunger Coalition can support the transformation of the national agrifood systems.

The Chair of the Zero Hunger Coalition, Ibrahim Mayaki had the honour of speaking at a session, Catalyzing Policy Action for Sustainable and Resilient Agriculture and Food Systems, during the Hamburg Sustainability Conference. As Dr Mayaki notes, poverty lies at the heart of hunger. Many food systems are designed in ways that perpetuate inequalities and do not address the root causes of hunger, such as economic marginalization, lack of access to land, and unequal distribution of resources. Hunger is a political issue, not merely a technical challenge. To transform food systems and achieve zero hunger, we need ⏩ Political will ⏩ Policy reforms that promote fair access to resources and ensure opportunities for the most vulnerable ⏩ Innovative financing mechanisms 💡 The Zero Hunger Coalition is actively pushing this agenda forward, building synergies across regions and stakeholders to combat hunger through collective political commitment.

🌍 Benin food systems pathway 👣 Through national dialogues, Benin has addressed critical challenges in agriculture, nutrition and resilience to external shocks. These discussions now guide Benin's journey toward food systems transformation. 🤝 Coordinated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries (MAEP Benin), with support from the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) and the Zero Hunger Coalition, the national dialogue in Bohicon in June 2024 identified priorities for the national food systems pathway. This followed the first dialogue held in 2021, which produced an initial report that was not validated. 🙌 Françoise LEMA SAYI (GAIN Benin) and Francine Picard (Shamba Centre for Food & Climate) guide us through the priority pathways from the follow-up dialogue and reveal what the success of this transformation depends on. 📑 The full blog: https://lnkd.in/efs6Jkqq #FoodSystems #Benin #SDG2 #EndHunger Dossa Aguèmon Dedegbe Dominique Aubierge Flénon Aboua Léonce DOSSOU Irene DJENONTIN FAO Clément Edah Ambassade du Royaume des Pays-Bas au Bénin Ambroise AGBOTA ELISÉE MAHOUSSI Alfred Acakpo Dieu-donné KONNON Waliou AMOUSSA HOUNKPATIN Nadjib ZAKARI ALLOU World Food Programme UNIVERSITE D'ABOMEY GIZ Bénin The World Bank

"Food systems transformation has implications: resources and implementation. To maximise impact, implementation requires a whole-government approach and institutional innovations." Thank you Ibrahim Mayaki, Chair of the Zero Hunger Coalition for your insight at the #UNGA79 in New York City. This included: ⏩ The closed ministerial roundtable co-hosted by the #G7, FAO and the Netherlands, where Dr Mayaki highlighted the importance of coordination and alignment for maximum impact. ⏩ The Permanent Mission of the UAE to the UN - New York side-event co-hosted with Azerbaijan, FAO, Italy and the The World Bank, where Dr Mayaki thanked the COP28 UAE for its leadership in making food systems a priority. ⏩ The India Day hosted by United Nations in India, Observer Research Foundation and Reliance Foundation, where Dr Mayaki spoke on a session exploring a new development paradigm that embraces the concepts of sustainable development and lifestyles, resource efficiency, and circular economy.
