#WorldFoodDay reminds us that #foodsecurity is about more than just quantity—it demands diverse, nutritious, affordable, accessible, safe and sustainable food. The same goes for the #digitaltech to support agrifood system transformation but only if tools are designed with the same principles in mind: ● Diverse: Reaching all users (e.g. across gender, generations) , regardless of their background or location, to bridge the digital divide. ● Safe&Nourishing: Providing reliable content, information and capabilities that protect the well-being of agrifood system stakeholders and empower them to make informed decisions and thrive. ● Affordable & Accessible: Ensuring solutions are cost-effective, easy to use, and maintain, so that everyone can benefit from them. By building "food-secure" digital tools, we can help support the right to foods for a better life and a better future. #DigitalPublicGoods #DigitalEmpowerment

Check out this important new comment by wonderful, brilliant colleagues:
Deputy Director, Global Alliance for the Future of Food. Systems Leadership: Food, Climate, Biodiversity, Equity, Health
Our new Comment in Nature Food is out! The piece argues that existing narrow views of what constitutes ‘evidence’ exclude critical ways of producing and facilitating knowledge exchange from diverse actors including Indigenous Peoples and food producers. We underscore the importance of a diversity of knowledge and knowledge-sharing approaches to deepen research, build evidence, and ensure more holistic outcomes. By focusing too narrowly and excluding oral, non-English and traditional time-tested approaches based on local and community-derived expertise, there is a serious risk in overlooking important solutions to address urgent global food systems and environmental challenges. Research that elevates the practical experiences and needs of food producers on the frontlines of an increasingly precarious food system is needed to ensure a healthy and thriving food system that protects people and the planet. The urgency to transform our food systems and address the multitude of issues it intersects with - from climate change, biodiversity loss, health, livelihoods - requires deeply participatory and transdisciplinary approaches to creating and building evidence and sharing knowledge. The additional time, resources and effort to ensure equitable participation, inclusivity and community engagement results in outcomes that promise more relevance for local communities and can be more easily implemented. https://lnkd.in/g7ZYb85Z Wonderful to work with you on this Global Alliance for the Future of Food Samara Brock Amanda Jekums Faris Ahmed Margarita Fernandez Maywa Montenegro de Wit Francisco Javier Rosado-May V.

Our Sustainability Director Cerasela Stancu was a contributor to this piece in Nature Food which focuses on the need to widen our perspectives on what is knowledge and how we share and use it in the challenge for food system transformation. It was great to work with Lauren Baker and the team and contributors at the Global Alliance for the Future of Food, and to channel our Aotearoa New Zealand perspectives together with Brendan Hoare, Nick Roskruge, and Jessica Hutchings. #naturebasedsolutions #environment #naturepositive #impactinvestment #sustainabledevelopment #sustainablegrowth #regeneration #regenerativesolutions #esg https://lnkd.in/dY8JbH2u

Environmental & Social Non-profit Executive | Fostering a deep sense of belonging and trust, within organizations, as well as with stakeholders | Board Member I Organic Family Farm Owner
"By focusing too narrowly and excluding oral, non-English and traditional time-tested approaches based on local and community-derived expertise, there is a serious risk in overlooking important solutions to address urgent global food systems and environmental challenges. " I'm heartened to see this argument shared by Lauren Baker and her colleagues becoming more and more common. A narrow view of evidence and data are part of why we've found ourselves in a state of crisis. Recently Kalliopeia Foundation posted a closely related multi-media article by Robin Wall Kimmerer --- “Using indigenous science, the human and the plant are linked as co-creators; humans are midwives to this creation, not masters. The plant innovates and the people nurture and direct that creativity. They are joined in a covenant of reciprocity, of mutual flourishing.” (Link in comments.) Our relationship and experiences as co-creators and 'midwives to this creation' are deeply personal. Our individual stories are the stories that will change hearts and minds. Let's keep sharing this important narrative in as many formats as we can - through academic publications, elementary outdoor classrooms, beautiful art, and dialogue.

The Global Alliance for the Future of Food has a new article highlighting the importance of including frontline food producers in the dialog for knowledge sharing and research practices. The inclusivity of oral and non-English dialog greatly strengthens the spread of knowledge and traditional practices within these communities. https://lnkd.in/esnvtgtk

New Publication alert!!!!! Whose science counts? A question that requires answering in the Food systems debate of transition from existing Industrialised systems to Agroecological and alternative agriculture systems. Science needs to be democratised. Knowledge needs to be accessible. Every argument I am making here is ironic though as the article I co-authored with amazing folks across the globe is behind a firewall :( (Please DM for a downloaded copy) The key takeaway for democratising knowledge for food systems transformation remains "bringing the knowledge and wisdom of the communities at forefront".

Great to be back in Davos and look forward to co-hosting a private roundtable with the Global Agrifood Tech Alliance on the future of food. The question we will address: How can we support the development of a dynamic and thriving innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem in the agriculture and food sectors?
Global Agrifood Tech Alliance and Thomas Crampton are hosting a roundtable on the future of food on the sideline of the #wef2024.
