Recent figures show that over 820 million people suffer from hunger. More than 60 percent (approximately 500 million) of these 820 million people live in Asia, while another 30 percent (approximately 250 million) in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Hunger has its genesis in extreme poverty. This is reflected in the data on poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, two of the most impoverished and populous regions of the world.<\/p>\n<p>To address the intertwined issues of poverty and hunger, <em>South-South and Triangular cooperation in agriculture<\/em> can play a key role. It can be leveraged to galvanize economic activity, create employment, improve incomes, spur innovation and stimulate self-reliance and entrepreneurship in developing countries, which are all essential ingredients for overcoming hunger in a sustainable manner.<\/p>\n<p>A starting point can be to facilitate knowledge sharing in support of smallholders and family farmers, who are the backbone of the agriculture sector in developing countries but remain vulnerable to hunger and malnutrition. This will also enable us to focus, inter alia, on women, who make up a substantial portion of agriculture labor force in small-scale and subsistence farming.<\/p>\n<p>The policy interventions toward smallholders may concentrate on the following four areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Access and technical support, especially by facilitating learning to improve agricultural technologies and practices, including agro-ecological practices;<\/li>\n<li>Access to agriculture finance and risk mitigation, including protection against price fluctuations, weather risk, etc.;<\/li>\n<li>Market access and storage facilities; and<\/li>\n<li>Support through research and innovation, including institutional innovations, technology and digital policy, that respond to their specific needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This four-dimensional strategy would feed into a \u201cfood systems approach\u201d- a concept which encapsulates the activities, outcomes and actors involved in agriculture as well as processing, transformation, distribution, retail, marketing, regulation and consumption of food. Such a strategy would support the smallholders and family farmers and promote food security and nutrition.<\/p>\n<p>But every new policy initiative requires fiscal space \u2013 an ongoing dilemma for several developing countries. This entails the need for extending greater support to these countries in their efforts to enhance efficiencies in the public expenditure; to mobilize private finance and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI); and to provide remedies to market failures. The current Official Development Assistance (ODA) in LDC\u2019s predominantly focuses on the social sector. There is a need to allocate resources to the productive sector as well, especially as we strive to achieve SDG 2 on Zero Hunger.<\/p>\n<p>South-South and Triangular cooperation can be useful vehicles to support such global endeavors. These forms of international cooperation have the potential to harness local solutions, provide support for a scale-up and propel self-reliance. If rolled out skillfully, they can help develop a regional production network in which LDCs can specialize and expand their role in specific tasks or components in the value chains of agricultural products and services. Such Regional Value Chains would be instrumental in triggering economic activity and providing a stepping-stone for smallholders to gradually establish their competitive advantage, first at the local and then at the regional level.<\/p>\n<p>The growing potential of the global South is already evident: South-South trade accounts for a quarter of the global trade; FDI from Southern firms make up\u00a0 one third of all FDI flows; and the growth in the Southern world accounts for half of global GDP growth.<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\"><\/a> There is a\u00a0 need to build on this momentum by reaching out to the \u201cpoorest of the poor\u201d and produce more \u201cwinner countries\u201d in the South. Indeed, wide spread progress in the South will contribute to regional as well as global peace and stability.<\/p>\n<p>As we enter the decade of action and delivery of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, we need to make use of all available tools of international cooperation to achieve the target of Zero Hunger by 2030. To reiterate, South-South learning and knowledge exchange in the agriculture sector is one such tool, which should tap the existing reservoir of solidarity between the developing countries. A good deal of groundwork on this concept already exists: last year, the UN Office for South-South Cooperation (UNOSSC) published a document <em>\u2018South-South and Triangular Cooperation in Action\u2019<\/em> which contained over 100 successful experiences of cooperation between the developing countries in different fields. The experiences included, <em>inter alia,<\/em> techniques to diversify corn products to improve health and nutrition; product labeling as a measure to end obesity; and knowledge sharing of successful strategies to reduce hunger. The publication supported the notion that, irrespective of its level of development, every country has something unique to offer.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that the 2030 agenda as well as the Addis Ababa Action Agenda (AAAA) acknowledge the importance of South-South Cooperation. The UN Secretary General in his statement at the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> High-Level UN Conference on South-South cooperation also referred to the intra-south trade as an instrument for realizing the 2030 agenda. Such avenues of trade are a cornerstone of the SDGs and are part of the Zero Hunger vision of SDG2.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243;

4<sup>th<\/sup> consecutive year. Recent figures show that over 820 million people suffer from hunger. More than 60 percent (approximately 500 million) of these 820 million people live in Asia, while another 30 percent (approximately 250 million) in Africa.\u00a0<\/p><p>Hunger has its genesis in extreme poverty. This is reflected in the data on poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, two of the most impoverished and populous regions of the world.\u00a0<\/p><p>To address the intertwined issues of poverty and hunger, <em>South-South and Triangular cooperation in agriculture<\/em> can play a key role. It can be leveraged to galvanize economic activity, create employment, improve incomes, spur innovation and stimulate self-reliance and entrepreneurship in developing countries, which are all essential ingredients for overcoming hunger in a sustainable manner.\u00a0<\/p><p>A starting point can be to facilitate knowledge sharing in support of smallholders and family farmers, who are the backbone of the agriculture sector in developing countries but remain vulnerable to hunger and malnutrition. This will also enable us to focus, inter alia, on women, who make up a substantial portion of agriculture labor force in small-scale and subsistence farming.\u00a0<\/p><p>The policy interventions toward smallholders may concentrate on the following four areas:\u00a0<\/p><ul><li>Access and technical support, especially by facilitating learning to improve agricultural technologies and practices, including agro-ecological practices;<\/li><li>Access to agriculture finance and risk mitigation, including protection against price fluctuations, weather risk, etc.;<\/li><li>Market access and storage facilities; and<\/li><li>Support through research and innovation, including institutional innovations, technology and digital policy, that respond to their specific needs.<\/li><\/ul><p>This four-dimensional strategy would feed into a \u201cfood systems approach\u201d- a concept which encapsulates the activities, outcomes and actors involved in agriculture as well as processing, transformation, distribution, retail, marketing, regulation and consumption of food. Such a strategy would support the smallholders and family farmers and promote food security and nutrition.<\/p><p>But every new policy initiative requires fiscal space \u2013 an ongoing dilemma for several developing countries. This entails the need for extending greater support to these countries in their efforts to enhance efficiencies in the public expenditure; to mobilize private finance and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI); and to provide remedies to market failures. The current Official Development Assistance (ODA) in LDC\u2019s predominantly focuses on the social sector. There is a need to allocate resources to the productive sector as well, especially as we strive to achieve SDG 2 on Zero Hunger.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>South-South and Triangular cooperation can be useful vehicles to support such global endeavors. These forms of international cooperation have the potential to harness local solutions, provide support for a scale-up and propel self-reliance. If rolled out skillfully, they can help develop a regional production network in which LDCs can specialize and expand their role in specific tasks or components in the value chains of agricultural products and services. Such Regional Value Chains would be instrumental in triggering economic activity and providing a stepping-stone for smallholders to gradually establish their competitive advantage, first at the local and then at the regional level.\u00a0<\/p><p>The growing potential of the global South is already evident: South-South trade accounts for a quarter of the global trade; FDI from Southern firms make up\u00a0 one third of all FDI flows; and the growth in the Southern world accounts for half of global GDP growth.<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\"><\/a> There is a\u00a0 need to build on this momentum by reaching out to the \u201cpoorest of the poor\u201d and produce more \u201cwinner countries\u201d in the South. Indeed, wide spread progress in the South will contribute to regional as well as global peace and stability.\u00a0<\/p><p>As we enter the decade of action and delivery of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, we need to make use of all available tools of international cooperation to achieve the target of Zero Hunger by 2030. To reiterate, South-South learning and knowledge exchange in the agriculture sector is one such tool, which should tap the existing reservoir of solidarity between the developing countries. A good deal of groundwork on this concept already exists: last year, the UN Office for South-South Cooperation (UNOSSC) published a document <em>\u2018South-South and Triangular Cooperation in Action\u2019<\/em> which contained over 100 successful experiences of cooperation between the developing countries in different fields. The experiences included, <em>inter alia,<\/em> techniques to diversify corn products to improve health and nutrition; product labeling as a measure to end obesity; and knowledge sharing of successful strategies to reduce hunger. The publication supported the notion that, irrespective of its level of development, every country has something unique to offer.\u00a0<\/p><p>It is important to note that the 2030 agenda as well as the Addis Ababa Action Agenda (AAAA) acknowledge the importance of South-South Cooperation. The UN Secretary General in his statement at the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> High-Level UN Conference on South-South cooperation also referred to the intra-south trade as an instrument for realizing the 2030 agenda. Such avenues of trade are a cornerstone of the SDGs and are part of the Zero Hunger vision of SDG2.\u00a0<\/p><p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column
