Background
The 10YFP is a global framework of action that aims at enhancing international cooperation to accelerate the
shift towards SCP patterns, in both developed and developing countries. Responding to the call of the
Johannesburg Plan of Implementation,the 10 YFP is supported by the world’s leaders that includes the Heads
of State and their Governments through the adoption of the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable
Consumption and Production Patterns (10YFP). In particular,they have expressed a strengthened commitment in
terms of accelerating the transition towards sustainable consumption and production (SCP) patterns,
wherein they reaffirmed that SCP is a prerequisite for, and one of the three objectives of sustainable
development.
The FAO-UNEP Sustainable Food Systems Programme was established in 2011 with the support of the Government of Switzerland .
In addition, an Agri-food Taskforce on SCP (AFTF-SCP) specifically, as part of the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on
Sustainable Consumption and Production (10YFP) was formed. The AFTF-SCP is a broad coalition of concerned
stakeholders including national Governments, the European Commission, UN Agencies and Programmes, civil
society and private sector representatives to promote the development and implementation of the FAO- UNEP
Sustainable Food Systems Programme. As an expert group of the agri-food sector, it has played an essential
role so far in the development process of the Sustainable Food Systems Programme under the 10YFP (10YFPSFSP).
The AFTF-SCP proposed the following four work streams under the FAO-UNEP Sustainable Food Systems
Programme:
I. Re-focus and re-orient more effectively existing information platforms
agri-food products;
on sustainable agriculture and

II. Deliver meaningful and reliable communication about agri-food products to create markets and incentives
for fostering sustainable consumption and production patterns;
III. Create enabling conditions in developing countries for the uptake of SCP in
IV. Promote productivity enhancing and resource efficiency in

Agri-food; and
production methods through
market-based
In March 2014, FAO and UNEP submitted a preliminary proposal for a 10YFP-SFSP, built on the existing work
of the FAO-UNEP Sustainable Food Systems Programme and of the AFTF-SCP to the 10YFP Board, supported by
letters from Costa Rica, South Africa, Switzerland and the USA. The 10YFP Board approved the preliminary
proposal, suggesting that the Programme further elaborates its focus on consumption issues, food losses and
waste.
From June to July 2014, an online survey was carried out to feed into the development of the 10YFPSFSP with
212 participants from 70 countries.In September 2014, building on the previous work under the FAO-UNEP
Sustainable Food Systems Programme and taking into account the preliminary findings of the online survey
the AFTF-SCP agreed on the proposed vision, goal, objectives and work areas of the 10YFP-SFSP.
In addition, The 18 A/CONF.216/5 document, ( pls. Kindly state the name of the document) referred to in the
Rio+20 Outcome Document, provides the vision, goals and common values of the 10YFP as well as its
functions, organizational structure, means of implementation, criteria for programme design and an initial
non-exhaustive list of five programmes.

Introduction
There are more than 800 million people who live in hunger today. Added to that is the fact that another
billion people who are malnourished, also live in poverty wherein they lack the capacity to be able to meet
the needed essential micronutrients for their own well-being .Another is that, globally, the levels of
obesity-related health conditions are rapidly increasing in both developing and developed countries. It
cannot be ignored that food consumption is one of the main factors that affects the health condition of an
individual. Given these facts, it is also important to look at food waste and food losses that is around 30%
of the food produced worldwide – 59 about 1.3 billion tons - is lost or wasted every year. If these food
losses are taken as a number, it could feed the 800 million people who live in hunger and those who suffer
from malnourishment. By 2050, population is expected to grow by 10 Billion and with these number, the main
question is how can we feed the growing population? And how can we sustain food systems around the world for
present and future generations?
Sustainable food systems are key to ensuring sustainable development. It is vital to ensure food security
and nutrition, and satisfy a growing demand, for quantity, quality and diversity.
In addition, since current food production and consumption has a considerable impact on the environment,
food systems valorise resources that are becoming ever more fragile and scarce. Population growth,
increasing incomes for everyone, GDP growth, as well as urbanization are driving the upward rise of change
in the demand of food production and consumption. Another is that food systems are complex systems. Its
effect varies from environmental, economic and social perspectives. Furthermore, the proposed 10YFP-SFSP
should be adapted to various local and regional specificities and take into account different levels of
development.
