Desarrollar una nueva visión para la agricultura: una guía para las partes interesadas

The document argues that global agriculture must transition to a new model to address resource scarcity, rising demand, and climate risks. It proposes a '20/20/20' commitment to increase production, reduce emissions, and decrease rural poverty by 20% each decade. The guide emphasizes that while private sector innovation is key, success requires a 'virtuous circle' of supportive government policies, robust infrastructure, and efficient market structures. It provides several regional models of integrated transformation, such as 'green granaries' and infrastructure corridors, to scale these improvements.

• The agricultural sector faces critical pressures, contributing to 70% of global water consumption and up to 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, while being threatened by climate-driven production drops of over 20% in many areas.
• The 'New Vision for Agriculture' establishes a '20/20/20' commitment aiming to increase agricultural production by 20%, reduce emissions by 20%, and reduce the prevalence of rural poverty by 20% every decade.
• Food security requires more than just increasing production; it necessitates improving supply chains to close yield gaps, minimizing waste, and focusing on maternal and child health to improve community nutrition.
• Agricultural growth is identified as a more effective tool for poverty reduction than growth in other sectors, particularly for the poorest households in developing countries.
• Technical innovations only succeed when integrated into a 'virtuous circle' consisting of four pillars: supportive government policies, physical infrastructure, effective market structures, and specific technical tools.
• The document identifies several integrated collaboration models: 'National Sector Transformation' (e.g., Morocco), 'Value Chain Interventions' (e.g., Honduras), 'Infrastructure Corridors' (e.g., Mozambique), and 'Granaries' (e.g., Ghana).
• In Morocco, the 'Le Maroc Vert' strategy aims to double agricultural GDP and create one million jobs by leasing land to private investors who implement advanced production and link small farmers to markets.
• The 'Beira Agricultural Growth Corridor' in Mozambique seeks to utilize global investor capacity to turn 10 million hectares of underdeveloped land into a source of maize, sugar, horticulture, and soy.
• In Northern Ghana, a 'granary' approach led by the government and AGRA aims to double the income of 250,000 poor farmers and increase national rice self-sufficiency to 70%.
• Gender inequality is a significant barrier to food security, as women often hold the greatest responsibility for community nutrition but have the least access to land, financing, and training.
