As part of the work NFP and Wageningen University & Research (WUR) are delivering to drive the SDG2 agenda forward, we’ll jointly be facilitating a ‘Putting Food Systems Thinking into Sector Practice’ six-part webinar series for agrifood practitioners, who are actively interested in taking action towards achieving concrete positive food systems results.

The webinar series will take place at 13:00 – 15:00 CET on 3 March; 17 March; 31 March; 21 April; 12 May and 2 June. An additional closing session will also be held on 16 June.

Using real life case studies, we will demonstrate how integrated food systems and sector frameworks can be developed into workable tools, by dissecting and examining the following themes and topics:

Importing cheap poultry products: a key obstacle for African poultry sector development?: This case study will particularly focus on the role that international and regional trade plays, as key socio-economic drivers of the food system.
An inclusive horticulture sector that helps deliver healthy diets: This case study will apply food system perspectives, to identify leverage points that strengthen the food security and nutrition outcomes of horticulture sector development initiatives.
Protein transition – a key ambition of food system transformation: This case study will focus on climate adaptation through innovation, as well as the role of the private sector in leading this process. The webinar will also broaden participants’ understanding of the influence of environmental drivers and outcomes on the food system.
Policy decision making on food system transformation: Representatives from Embassies of the Netherlands based in a variety of countries, will reflect on their experiences of putting food systems transformation into practice. The session will deepen participants’ understanding of the role of policy as a food system socio-economic driver and how this helps to achieve multiple food system outcomes.
Cocoa and other tropical commodities to boost food systems transformation impact?: International commodity production and trade are critical within the food system, to generate sustainable employment and living incomes. This case study will explore from a food systems perspective, on how the sector could benefit by leveraging food security and nutrition, as well as positive environmental outcomes.
Sesame sector transformation: Participants will learn about practises implemented in Ethiopia, and the many lessons learned on how complex, multi-stakeholder, farmer-owned sector transformation agendas have evolved and developed into workable food systems agendas.

Further details will be made available shortly, including further details about webinar content and finalised schedule. Please note the application deadline is 9 February, 2022.
