3 DRIVERS OF EU DEVELOPMENT ACTIONS IN FOOD AND NUTRITION SECURITY AND AGRICULTURE Promoting inclusive and sustainable growth (focus on smallholders) Supporting sustainable agriculture Bolstering sustainable management of natural resources: climate change prevention and adaptation; ecosystem services Improving crisis prevention and enhancing resilience Increasing nutrition-sensitive actions; reducing stunting and wasting

4 Sustainable agriculture necessarily implies assuring not only environmental but also both economic and social sustainability Environmentally sound Economically viable Socially just

5 Some principles in the pursuit of environmental sustainability Optimised natural resources use (same or less land and water) Increased natural capital (soils, biodiversity) Minimised GHG emissions Strengthened resilience Reduced water/air pollution Efficient use of inputs But 5

6 But some specific constraints Context specific (no unique model, huge and changing diversity of technical solutions) Knowledge intensive (need for soft investments: technical assistance and training; strong link with research) Highly labour-intensive In many situations, long-term return on investment

7 Concepts are fine Permaculture Conservation agriculture Climate-smart agriculture Precision Agriculture Ecoagriculture Agroecology High environmental value agriculture

8 but targets and practices are better Strategies to be promoted Maintaining natural capital (restoring, enhancing) Objective Soils (fertility) Water Biodiversity Natural resources governance (collective management of natural resources by users themselves) Watershed, irrigation systems, forest, grasslands, crop land use Improved soil organic matter Precision fertilisation Integrated pest management Grassland improvement and rehabilitation Crop rotation and intercropping Green cover crops Rainwater harvesting for irrigation Precision irrigation Agroforestry Conservation agriculture Landscape -level Farm-level practices
