PSM – Intervention: CFS Voluntary Guidelines Endorsement – 2021
The PSM looks to build on the lessons learned during this process and its past experience with the endorsement of the CFS Principles for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems (RAI). As we did post-endorsement with RAI, PSM would like to support the Voluntary Guidelines on Food Systems and Nutrition now. The PSM aims to focus on an information and training campaign and hopes to count on the support of the CFS Chair and the Nutrition workstream Chair, Ambassador Hoogeveen, its secretariat, as well as its wide membership

PSM – Intervention: CFS Voluntary Guideline Endorsement – 2021
It is now our job to turn to the uptake and implementation of these Voluntary Guidelines. Our PSM members have pledged to a wide range of actions towards improved nutrition and food systems. These actions span from commitments on marketing, product formulation and innovation, reducing Food Loss and Waste, GHG emissions, and promoting sustainable packaging, supply chains and farmer livelihoods.

PSM – Intervention: Food Security and Nutrition: Building a Global Narrative Towards 2030 – 2021
As PSM, we note we submitted many vital references of work from FAO, IFAD, OECD, IFPRI and others as citations to build a stronger narrative and have done so on the youth paper as well. We were, candidly disappointed not to see any of these pieces of research taken up in the final narrative.

PSM – Intervention: MYPoW 2020 – 2023 – 2021
The on-going work programme is part of the new 4-year MYPoW that was agreed by the Plenary, following the recommendations of the CFS evaluation. The decision to have 4-year programme has allowed us all to focus on both the agreed workstreams without having to reconvene to develop a new MYPoW. It has also allowed us to adapt that programme to allow for the extensive work done on the Covid pandemic, and our appreciation to the HLPE for leading that piece of work.

PSM – Intervention: Monitoring Event on CFS Policy on Climate and Water – 2021
In response to the CFS Secretariat request for lead in questions we would suggest: 1) What do you think needs to come out of COP 26? 2) How should the climate discussion include food systems and how should farmers and the private sector scale up CSA systems and practices especially around water management? 3) How can governments and other key partners work more closely with private sector in CSA?

PSM: Intervention: CFS MYPoW 2020 – 2030 – 2021
As we move into the final two years of the agreed MYPoW, PSM believes that the agreed workstreams remain key aspects of food security and nutrition but also well represent key perspectives of food systems transformation. We therefore suggest that the agreed workstreams provide an already established basis for the next steps of the implementation of the Summit and, in fact, represent areas that need more attention.
