People and food, some context:
5 BOGOTA SEPTEMBER 2014
Population GrowthThe world population, currently 7 billion, is expected to reach 9.3 billion by 2050 and 10.1 billion by 2100
Data from UN-DESA, 2011
6 BOGOTA SEPTEMBER 2014
Can it be done…
MAGNITUDE OF CHANGE BY 2050 ADDITIONAL QUANTITIES BY 2050
Population increases 28% Tons of food required 1.3 billion mt
Food production increases 70% Served by trade .3 billion mt
Grain and oilseed increases 50% Met by local production 1.0 billion mt
Trade increases 100% Can it be done? Yes

We have a good baseline :
1 out of every 3 calories is wasted
Food quantity does not equate nutrition quality
(Venkat 2011; Gustavsson et al. 2011)
Significant production gap exists between small holder farmers and the average
8 BOGOTA SEPTEMBER 2014
Better planning : Enough food produced…but no food access?
9 BOGOTA SEPTEMBER 2014
Resource Efficiency: Water
Water Imbalance
• 70% of earth covered with water
• Less than 1% of water is available as fresh or ground water for people to use
• Not evenly distributed
Food and Water
• Food and agriculture are the greatest users of water
• 70% of water used
• Substantial part is wasted or polluted
10 BOGOTA SEPTEMBER 2014
Scaling up small holder agriculture:
11 BOGOTA SEPTEMBER 2014
Small holder sustainable agriculture
Women as the leading role Resource efficiency and best practices =+

Magnitude of the results vary considerably on a case by case but they will get benefits and increase their monetary, social and natural capital

12 BOGOTA SEPTEMBER 2014
Organization is key
Self Help Group
Clusters
Cooperative Production Company
13 BOGOTA SEPTEMBER 2014
Examples of resource efficiency
The water pond Spacing at sowing
Seed usage:
25 to 30kg less per hectare
Production:
25 to 30% more
When less is more
14 BOGOTA SEPTEMBER 2014
How…
The solution is clearly multidimensional but should be sustainable some key pieces include
Organization
Optimization of all links in the value chain that include production, distribution, consumption and disposal.
Thinking about Resource efficiency and best practices
Innovation
Scaling up the small holder farmer agriculture
And access to finance
15 BOGOTA SEPTEMBER 2014
Best Practices Package for example
Irrigation and moisture conservation
Ploughing (pre sowing)
Soil tests and fertilizer
Spacing
Mid season weed control
Pest and disease control
And from there learn quality control, product handling, conservation, transportation and commercialization
16 BOGOTA SEPTEMBER 2014
Some leverage factors
Livestock.- Having small animals at home provides additional nutrition to the household, and enhances the live of the community
Fruit trees.- might provide a natural barrier for crops while providing additional nutrition to the communities
17 BOGOTA SEPTEMBER 2014
Sustainable agriculture value chain
Inputs Harvesting Commercialization
Finance
18 BOGOTA SEPTEMBER 2014
The challenge “The transition from a successful project to a successful business”
• Critical mass
• Professional managent
• Profitable business
Which gives it access to finance

The Happy Farmer?
By 1990, less than 40% of the global population lived in a city, but as of 2010, more than half of all people live in an urban area. By 2030, 6 out of every 10 people will live in a city, and by 2050, this proportion will increase to 7 out of 10 people.

In Summary
To streamline the supply chain , interventions are needed in almost every link of the supply chain. The room for improvement is very significant
Agriculture not only produces food but generates income and supports rural livelihoods
It’s not only about quantity but quality the question forward should be nutrition security
Smart and resilient crops
To achieve this we need farmers and happy ones
