  Community reducing food losses through traditional practices in Angola  | FAO

Other products that were made are fruit juices, nectars, syrups and marmalades; tomatoes pasta and puree among others. This experience shows how community involvement in food processing can help promote the reduction of food loss and waste, improving nutrition and becoming a model for inclusive agribusiness. (...) This practice demonstrates how food availability can be improved by promoting food processing practices based on artisanal conservation techniques , contributing to lower the stress on natural resources and strengthening food availability in a context where, according to FAO, every year one third of food available to human consumption is lost or wasted.

  Transdisciplinary research for sustainability Regional/Thematic SuS Symposium Kuala Lumpur

Transdisciplinarity basically includes cooperation between researchers and a debate with the society at large Transdisciplinarity and research funding: some serious challenges Assessing the projects: Multidisciplinary projects:  Well accepted, use of peer reviewers from different disciplines  Comparatively “easy” to evaluate and identify “excellence” Interdisciplinary projects:  More complex, less established  A “new” evaluation criteria in H2020 Multidisciplinary projects:  No clear evaluation guidelines, resistance from “pure” academics  Requires participation of users/stakeholders in the evaluations  In its embryonic stage, e.g. not even mentioned in H2020 Experiences from RCN  Reluctance form researchers – seen as obstructive to academic careers  Reluctance among potential peer reviewers – not seen as “serious” research, feel on shaky ground  Inability to understand “value” of other disciplines to some extent and especially when it comes to including “lay-people”  No defined expertise in transdisciplinary approaches  Reluctance among funders to adopt non-traditional paths to knowledge creation Implementation of SDGs – a breakthrough for sustainability science? (...) Future Earth  Has adopted a SuS approach since its inception Belmont Forum  Example of how national funders can put together joint calls on a global level – “a global co-fund model” Swiss Academy of Sciences  Have developed a Handbook of Transdisciplinary Research ICSU/ISSC  Spearheading integration of natural, social and human sciences Most urgent task: Define a SuS research agenda based on a transdisciplinary approach Policy makers, research councils, industry and civil society must get together to  Make SuS known among themselves and society at large  Establish basic SuS frameworks  Establish assessment criteria for SuS projects  Establish multi-stakeholder panels  Identify relevant indicators

(...) While recognizing that IHP’s first phases had been instrumental in promoting hydrological sciences, an external evaluation in 2003 on IHP’s fifth phase suggested to broaden the scope of IHP beyond purely scientific hydrological concerns. From its sixth phase on, the Programme began to focus primarily on water resource management and related cultural, societal and capacity building issues, evolving from a ‘pure science only’ ethos to one of ‘science within society’.
