1 Update on GECAFS Food System Conceptual Framework Gabarone, Botswana 4 July 2005

2 What is a food system? Access Availability Utilisation GECAFS Science Plan bases its notion of a food system on three components:

3 FAO bases its notion of food systems on a number of human activities Producing food Processing & packaging food Distribution & retailing food Consuming food

4 1º production Providers and sellers of inputs, Farmers (big and small), buyers of produce Processing & Packaging Middle men who buy and sell, processing industry, packaging industry Distribution & retail Supermarkets, local markets, transporters, government institutions, international markets, advertising, trade regulation Consumption Consumers w/ preferences, preparation and utilization requirements Availability Production Exchange distribution Access Affordability Allocation preference Utilization Nutritional value Social value Food safety In reality there are more activities and more outcomes….

5 Demographic Economic Socio-political Cultural Science and technology Environmental People who construct scenarios use six categories of drivers:

6 GECAFS primarily interested in Global Environmental Change Changes in: Land cover & soils Atmospheric composition Climate variability & means Water availability & quality Nutrient availability & cycling Biodiversity Sea currents & salinity Sea level

7 Demographic Economic Socio-political Cultural Science & Technology DRIVERS Non human- induced drivers e.g. Volcanoes Earthquakes GEC DRIVERS Changes in: Land cover & soils Atmospheric composition Climate variability & means Water availability & quality Nutrient availability & cycling Biodiversity Sea currents & salinity Sea level Relationship between the drivers

8 Social and ecological well-being Food Security Environmental Security Other Securities

9 Contributing to Food Security: Food Availability (produce, exchange, distribution) Food Accessibility (affordability, allocation, preference) Food Utilization (nutritional value, social value, food safety) Contributing to Other Securities: Income Employment Wealth Social & political capital Human capital Infrastructure Peace Insurance Contributing to Env Security: Natural Capital (ecosystem services function) Access to NC assured OUTCOMES

10 ACTIVITIES Producing food Processing & packaging food Distribution & retailing food Consuming food GEC DRIVERS Demographic Economic Socio-political Cultural Science & Technology DRIVERS Social and ecological well-being Food Security Environmental Security Other Securities Drivers, Activities and Outcomes relevant to Scenario Development for analysing the interactions of GEC and Food Systems Changes in: Land cover & soils Atmospheric composition Climate variability & means Water availability & quality Nutrient availability & cycling Biodiversity Sea currents & salinity Sea level Contributing to Food Security: Food Availability (produce, exchange, distribution) Food Accessibility (affordability, allocation, preference) Food Utilization (nutritional value, social value, food safety) Contributing to Other Securities: Income Employment Wealth Social & political capital Human capital Infrastructure Peace Insurance Contributing to Env Security: Natural Capital (ecosystem services function) Access to NC assured OUTCOMES Non human- induced drivers e.g. Volcanoes Earthquakes
