Input from first workshop on “Strengthening APEC Cooperation on Food Security and Climate Change”
April 19-21, 2017
Hilton Hanoi Opera, Ha Noi
Workstreams of the Action Plan
• Cooperation, communication and information on food-security and climate change policy;
• Cooperation on best practices in agricultural production and policy making;
• Technology development and dissemination and knowledge sharing, advanced technologies access;
• Human and institutional capacity building and outreach for public and private sector, for policy makers, social associations and agriculture extension.

Goals of the Action Plan• Policy
• Best practices
• Technology development and knowledge sharing
• Capacity building
Reduce agriculture’s contribution to climate change
Strengthen resilience to climate change and variability
Sustainably increase productivity and income
National food security and development goals

Rice: Policy and capacity building
Solutions
• Sharing best practices among economies for better connecting farmers and consumers
• Examples of PPPs for rice extension
• APEC coordination to build capacity of producers on trade agreements, negotiation abilities, linking to markets
Challenges
• Lack of coherence in policy design
• Disconnect between farmers and consumers; need for market info for farmers
• Lack of understanding of diversification options
• Weak extension
Rice: Technology and best practices
Solutions
• Coordination among farmers to maximize incomes (e.g. to access large equipment)
• Technology exchange and coordination around:• Genetics and new varieties• Irrigation systems• Demand/price forecasting• Climate data• CSA best practice (e.g.
diversification)• Data platforms, big data for
sharing between economies
Challenges
• High production cost, low incomes Mechanization equipment Modified irrigation systems
• Sensitivity to climate variability• Many approaches and practices
get confusing to farmers (CSA vs. GAP vs. SRP, etc.)
• Climate exposure• GHG emissions and mitigation
practices

Livestock: Policy and capacity building
Solutions
• PPP approaches• Government certified practices,
with incentives for adoption
• Promote cooperatives or other organizations that enable smallholders to benefit from CSA-related policies
• Increase and share knowledge of relationships between livestock disease/pest risks and climate
Challenges
• Conflicting policies• Converting policies to programs• Policy incorporating
environmental factors Importance of land rights
• Market incentives• Marginalization of smallholder
producers in accessing information and technology
Livestock: Technology and best practices
Solutions
• Open sharing of livestock genetics information
• Sharing of feed production projections among countries
• Development of surveillance systems for animal disease to facilitate rapid response to emerging and fast moving challenges
• Development of best practice guidelines addressing challenges
Challenges
• Improving forage and feed production
• Reducing waste• Preventing disease outbreaks
(trans-boundary issue)• Need new breeds, breeding
stock• Mitigation practices

Aquaculture and fisheries: Policy and capacity building
Solutions
• Policy situational analyses
• Cross fora collaboration with the APEC Emergency Preparedness Working Group
• Use APEC, WorldFish, CCAFS, and FAO as training platforms for policy
• Promote decision support tools that incorporate climate info and are context specific
• Use APEC as a forum for info sharing on water rights
Challenges
• Lack of policy coherence, especially across sectors• Water use policy
• General technical capacity (e.g. moving between crops and fish)
• Coordination between agriculture and fisheries departments
• Building resilience in coastal communities
Aquaculture and fisheries: Technology and best practices
Solutions
• Regional Cooperation on harmful algal bloom surveillance, coral bleaching
• Regional training on post-harvest losses and PPPs
• R&D and technology exchange on feed conversion and alternative feed and on adaptive species.
Challenges
• Addressing new climate challenges: Harmful algal blooms Temperature Acidification Turbulence Fish distribution Disease prevalence Saltwater intrusion
• High cost of feed

Emerging domains of action
• Improving coherence of CSA policy and coordination between ministries and departments within economies
• Moving from policy to implementation
• Financing policies and programs
• Improving information flows between economies on topics such as: Climate forecasts Water use Price and market conditions Diseases
Emerging domains of action, continued
• Cooperation on research and technology development, especially related to: Crop and animal genetics and breeding Irrigation systems Animal feeds Mitigation practices
• Big data and data platforms
• Sharing experiences with public-private partnerships and approaches for improving market access and information
• Developing best practice guidelines without duplicating existing GAPs, certifications, etc.
