Description
The PAS Initiative - Sustainable Food Policies in Burundi contributes to guaranteeing access to healthy, nutritious and sufficient food for all those residing in some municipalities of the provinces of Bujumbura, Ruyigi and Rutana, through the improvement of the local food production system. The general objective of PAS is in line with SDG 2 of the 2030 Agenda, and more specifically with target 2.1 (“By 2030, end hunger and ensure access by all people, in particular the poor and people in vulnerable situations including infants, to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round“), proposing to intervene on the possibility of access to food through the structural improvement of the food production system at local level, via the promotion of the effective use of natural and material resources, process and technological innovation, and circular economy. The specific objective, in line with OSS 2.4, is to improve the productiveness of the primary food production systems by reinforcing their climate change adaptation capacity. By making the production systems more resilient and adapted to climate change (climate variability, climate shock, soil exhaustion, water scarcity, etc.), PAS contributes to guarantee the resilience of the primary production. The beneficiaries of the project, i.e. the small farmers and small breeders of the Municipalities of Mutimbuzi (Bujumbura Province), Ruyigi and Nyabitsinda (Ruyigi Province) and Bukemba and Rutana (Rutana Province), will see their production capacity maintained and increased, with a significant improvement in access to food and therefore a reduction in food security. Actions on the resilience and resistance of primary productions to climate change also guarantee the sustainability of future use of land and water, and contribute to mitigating the effects of climate change by reducing gas emissions from agri-food production plants. In order to support and facilitate the adoption and dissemination of the proposed climate-smart production practices, the structuring of an enabling environment is foreseen by the project, with the creation of mechanisms of public-private collaboration (multi-stakeholder Roundtables) for planning and managing the territorial climate-smart, sustainable and resilient food production systems; the result of the work of the multi-stakeholder Roundtables will be the definition of Territorial strategies on the topic.
