Geographical Indications (GIs) are widely considered as tools to contribute to sustainability (The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations—FAO, 2009; 2017), if established and well managed. While the literature may not always agree on the positive effects of GIs in all sustainability dimensions (e.g., economic, social, and environmental), there is evidence that engaging GI producers in a sustainability strategy can maximize their contribution to different components of sustainable development. FAO and oriGIn developed the sustainability strategy for GI (SSGI) to support GI producers and their associations so that they could engage in a place-based and participative approach in order to generate concrete progress and results. This paper presents original research for building both a framework and database for the selection and use of relevant sustainability indicators for GIs. A number of SSGI principles have guided the work throughout an iterative process for reviewing, selecting, and improving relevant indicators, while the Sustainability Assessment of Food and Agriculture (SAFA) has provided the structure to align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and other widely used and recognized sustainability frameworks. As a result of this work, a database of 372 robust sustainability indicators that are relevant to GIs have been characterized to facilitate their use by practitioners. The discussion highlights the importance of the place-based approach, and the participative, inclusive process that represents the key to empowerment and the ability to develop alliances. It also focuses on action, and the need to strengthen both internal and external communication.

Public food procurement (PFP) programmes have been receiving increasing attention as an important policy instrument with the potential to deliver multiple benefits for multiple beneficiaries. A key characteristic of a PFP programme is that it has the possibility – depending on sound policy and regulatory frameworks – to determine not only the way food is procured but in particular (i) what food will be purchased (such as local, diverse, nutritious and healthy); (ii) from whom (e.g. from local and/or family farming producers, small and medium food enterprises, women, youth and/or other vulnerable groups) and (iii) from which type of production (e.g. from agricultural production that ensure environmental sustainability as well as biodiversity). Considering the extent of public sector demand and how these choices are made, PFP holds considerable potential to influence both food consumption and food production patterns and to deliver multiple social, economic, environmental, nutritional and health benefits to the food system that will contribute to more sustainable diets. Nevertheless, despite the enormous opportunity that PFP offers to drive more sustainable diets, the story of public procurement is often still “a tale of untapped potential”. There are many reasons for this. Among them, there is a lack of a conducive regulatory framework. By taking a multi-disciplinary approach, this paper aims to contribute to the debate on the use of PFP as a policy instrument with potential to contribute to more sustainable diets and food systems. It will do so by bringing to the debate a discussion about the role of the regulatory framework and an analysis of existing legal mechanisms (i.e. preferential procurement schemes) able to translate these policy objectives into adapted and aligned procurement rules. This study builds on existing literature in different disciplines and on three country experiences (Brazil, Paraguay and United States of America). It combines a desk review of relevant literature, reports and case studies on the subject with primary data and expert opinions on some of the country experiences collected mainly through semi-structured interviews.

Calls for a global food system transformation and finding more sustainable ways of producing healthier, safe and nutritious food for all have spurred production approaches such as sustainable intensification and biofortification with limited consideration of the copious amounts of orphan crops, traditional varieties and wild edible species readily available in many countries, mostly in and around smallholder farmers’ fields. This paper explores the potential role of locally available; affordable and climate-resilient orphan crops, traditional varieties and wild edible species to support local food system transformation. Evidence from Brazil, Kenya, Guatemala, India, Mali, Sri Lanka and Turkey is used to showcase a three-pronged approach that aims to: (i) increase evidence of the nutritional value and biocultural importance of these foods, (ii) better link research to policy to ensure these foods are considered in national food and nutrition security strategies and actions, and (iii) improve consumer awareness of the desirability of these alternative foods so that they may more easily be incorporated in diets, food systems and markets. In the seven countries, this approach has brought about positive changes around increasing community dietary diversity and increasing market opportunities for smallholder growers, as well as increased attention to biodiversity conservation.
