In order to maximise the benefits of regional integration and look for new opportunities for competitiveness, policymakers, the private sector and development partners need access to accurate and comprehensive data on intra and inter-regional trade in Africa with respect to agricultural goods. It is in this context that CTA and the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) are launching the “African Agricultural Trade Status Report”, which examines the current status, trends and outlook in African trade performance, making an important contribution towards data and analysis of developments both at regional and at continental levels. The Report, which is released in conjunction with the Briefing, builds on the work by the Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS) of CAADP and the African Growth and Development Policy Modeling Consortium (AGRODEP) trade and also reflects the CTA’s commitment to advancing knowledge and sharing of best practices relating to agricultural trade. The Brussels Development Briefing n.47 on the subject of “Regional Trade in Africa: Drivers, Trends and Opportunities” took place on 3rd February 2017 in Brussels at the ACP Secretariat (Avenue Georges Henri 451, 1200 Brussels) from 09:00 to 13:00. This Briefing was organised by the ACP-EU Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA), in collaboration with IFPRI, the European Commission / DEVCO, the ACP Secretariat, and CONCORD .

The Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2), an inclusive inter-governmental meeting on nutrition jointly organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO), will be held at FAO Headquarters, in Rome, 19-21 November 2014. Notwithstanding progress in many countries, unacceptably high levels of malnutrition persist. As global problems require global solutions, only an intergovernmental conference can legitimately identify the commitments of stakeholders to act decisively to address malnutrition.

Lecture delivered in the Module "Global Food Policies" of the Master Food, Law & Finance at International University College, Torino, Italy (22 Feb 2017). The Global North, that used to be dubbed "Developed Countries" or "First World", is experiencing a growing pandemic of malnutrition (growing obesity and stagnant undernutrition) due to its complete reliance in the industrial food system and its driving ethos: profit maximisation out of food production. This low-cost food system is killing us and destroying Nature. Specific food policies found in the Global North will be analysed, including the huge Farm Bill (US) and CAP (EU). Amongst the topics addressed, one can mention: Can we afford a healthy diet?, the productivist paradigm, Corporate Ethos VS Public Policies, GMO Labelling in US and Civic Collective Actions for Food. At the end, a set of alternative Policy Options for the North will be presented and discussed, based on a different valuation of food: not as a commodity but a commons.

EC Responses to Soaring Food Prices

Responding to the Global Food Crisis: Three Perspectives global food E S S A Y S Responding to the World Food Crisis: Getting on the Right Track • Joachim von Braun High Global Food Prices: The Challenges and Opportunities • Josette Sheeran Policy Implications of High Food Prices for Africa • Namanga Ngongi pricesprices The dramatic rise and volatility of food prices over the last year have shaken the global food system. Governments and the international development community generally have responded to various aspects of the food crisis, but questions remain about whether the right actions are being pursued, how best to respond, and what the future holds. The three essays here by Namanga Ngongi, president of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa, Josette Sheeran, executive director of the World Food Programme, and Joachim von Braun, director general of the International Food Policy Research Institute, respond to these critical questions. They point to the dangers and pitfalls of misguided policies, but also to the very real opportunities for responding in a way that prevents future crises and assures food security now and in the long term. 1 Responding to the World Food Crisis: Getting on the Right Track How effective will these responses be in actually ameliorating the food and agriculture crisis? Are they likely to move the world closer to or farther from a resilient and sustainable food system that can supply the food needs of all people? After all, the point is not just to do something, but to do the right thing. So far, however, although some sound actions have been taken in response to high food prices to mitigate the crisis, many others appear likely to exacerbate it and further distort the fair and efficient functioning of the food system. But crises can also offer opportuni- ties by causing a rethinking of basic issues and assumptions. There is no doubt that the crisis in food and agriculture poses tremen- dous risks and hardships for poor people. At the same time, it also has the potential to stimulate changes that will improve the func- tioning of the global food system for years to come, although it is important to be aware of the potential cynicism of seeing “opportuni- ties” in crises that hurt many. Careful policy action can alleviate the current crisis while also reducing the chances of another such crisis in the future and in fact helping reduce poverty and hunger overall. Agriculture trAnsformed by new forces Over the past century, the world has seen only three major spikes in food prices: one occurred after World War II, the second took place in the 1970s, and the third is underway now. Otherwise, international food prices have generally followed a slow decline since the 1870s. At the same time huge fluctuations have occurred at country and regional levels, especially in Africa. Now, the world’s farmers are operating in a context where new forces ar ...
