The challenge: The process:

INTEGRATED ROADMAPS FOR THE SDGS
Exploring strategies for durable success
Goal 2: End hunger, achieve food security and improved
nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture.
Identify policies and practices that, by 2030, will sustainably increase
productivity and production while improving livelihoods, increasing
resilience, and maintaining ecosystems.

PROBLEM: Insufficient food access and availability .**
TARGET: Sustainably increase productivity and production
while improving livelihoods, increasing resilience, and
maintaining ecosystems.
What kinds of policies
and practices do
we need to get there?
The process:
INDICATORS:
– Crops production and yield
– Prevalence of malnutrition
– Poverty rate
What education
is needed?
Case study from SENEGAL*
STEP1
Build stakeholder consensus on
problem, targets, and indicators.
TEST SCENARIOS:
Societ y
Economy
Environment
Sustainable family farming,
characterized by low use of
chemical products, high labour
and knowledge intensity, and
is associated with sustainable
agriculture and food systems.
STEP2
Experience shared learning through
model development and identify needed data.
Industrial farming,
characterized by high use
of chemical products
(e.g. fertilizer & pesticides)
and energy (e.g. machinery).

Prevalence of malnutrition
Percentage of population whose food intake is
insufficient to meet dietary energy requirements.

Simulation scenarios to test our understanding
and potential policies discussing results with
stakeholders, develop new ideas.
The conclusion:
–Simulation results show that in both scenarios agriculture production
increases significantly over time compared to a continuation of current policies.
–The increase in production in the sustainable family farming scenario is
less pronounced in the short term and more gradual than in the industrial
farming scenario; still, the long-term production in the sustainable family
farming scenario reaches a higher absolute level.
–Sustainable family farming scenario also shows greater resilience of the
agriculture system when facing external shocks such as an increase in input
prices or a downsizing of available funds for the planned interventions.
This means:
Inclusive decision making
Gender empowerment
Understanding long term impacts
Improved livelihoods
More nutritious, and affordable food
Improved health for communities
Maintaining and regenerating
ecosystems
*A project developed in collaboration with the Biovision Foundation.
**This problem was one of several addressed in the case study. The same will apply for the target and the indicators
