∎ Friends in Village Development Bangladesh (FIVDB) is going to implement the “The Green Evolution: Pathways to Transforming Food Systems in India, Bangladesh and Nepal” project funded by the Welthungerhilfe (WHH).
∎ In recent decades, there has been a global collapse of food systems, especially local food systems, caused by neoliberalism, industrialization, "super-marketing" and commercialization combined with ecological collapse. Women, as well as smallholder and marginal farmers, are particularly hard hit by worsening inequalities, job insecurity and social unrest. It is clear from the following facts that existing food systems do not meet people's needs and need to be redesigned, taking full account of socio-cultural interactions, issues of justice and, in particular, the needs of the poorest, who spend most of their income on food. The international community accepted this overarching goal and made efforts to work towards food security . Recently, the United Nations convened the Food Systems Summit to "raise awareness in the world that we all need to work together to change the way the world produces, consumes, and thinks about food." The proposed project aims to develop a transition pathway to sustainable food systems aligned with the SDGs in three selected South Asian countries that rank low globally in the relevant indices calculated for 2022.
∎ A fundamental transformation of food systems is needed to meet the evolv-ing and future needs of consumers and producers and the vital resources available. Food systems encompass the various activities, people, and places involved in the production, processing, distribution, preparation, and consumption of food, as well as the outcomes of these interactions in the fields of food and nutrition, socio-economics, and the environment. Sustainable and resilient food systems provide food security for all, without jeopardising the economic, social and environmental foundations for food security for future generations, and can adapt and transform in the face of shocks and pressures.
∎ Therefore, project main aims to:
∎ Level/Step 1: Increasing the efficiency of industrial and conventional processes to reduce the use and consumption of expensive, scarce or polluting inputs.
∎ Level/Step 2: Replacement of industrial/conventional equipment and processes with alternative processes.
∎ Level/Step 3. Transforming the agroecosystem so that it functions on the basis of a new set of ecological processes. At this level, fundamental changes to the overall design of the system eliminate the root causes of many of the problems that persist at levels 1 and 2.
∎ Level/Step 4. Restoring a more direct link between food producers and consumers.
∎ The project will identify the gaps and develop farm and landscape models based on agroecology principles. The lessons learned will be transferred to larger areas and levels through training and capacity building. Finally, the knowledge developed is brought to bear in the representation of interests at national, regional and international level.
∎ As an implementing partner FIVDB will implement in Zakiganj and Gowainghat Upazila under Sylhet district. The duration of the project is up to May, 2028, and the job is contractual for the project period. The position will be recruited for implementing market and value chain related activities at the Project locations with substantial field activities.
