Following the G20 meeting of agriculture ministers in Turkey, the ministers said that the pressures on natural resources and biodiversity and the impacts of climate change have produced a need for a rise in productivity while at the same time moving towards food systems that are more sustainable. The ministers gave full backing to the G20 Food Security and Nutrition Framework that was agreed last year. Sustainable food systems should promote sustainable increases in productivity and production, use natural resources more efficiently, increase resilience and help address climate change in accordance with the UNFCCC. Sustainable food systems can help promote economic and social opportunities through quality jobs especially for smallholders, rural women and youth.
