Brazil
International Steering Committee Meeting
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 25 - 26 April 2012
Presentation topics:•Project development in Brazil: general aspects
•Framework of the project in Brazil: public policies linking
biodiversity conservation, sustainable use and food security
•Project key activities (and their relationship with the project
components)
•Agrobiodiversity Products Targeted in Brazil
•Implementation arrangements
•Final Consideration
Project Development in Brazil: General Aspects
• Under the coordination of the Ministry of the Environment (MMA):
Biodiversity Programme included in the plurianual budget - “Foster the
sustainable use of biodiversity by adding value to agrobiodiversity and
sociobiodiversity products while promoting sustainable markets and the
recognition of environmental services value”
Premisses:• It is not a new project
• Articulation and strengthening of transversal public policies (BFN) already going on
• Project operational plan and implementation: Participative process

Key activities and their relationship with the project’s components
Project Development in Brazil:
1) Nutritional characterization (macro and micronutrients analyses) of edible plant species targeted by the federal initiatives (contribution to data bank and biodiversity indicators in the diet).
2) Development of new recipes (targeting mainly children), with special emphasis to the plant species listed in the Ministry of Environment´s “Plants for the Future” Project may cover other potential edible native plant species.
3) Support the development of different media aiming to disseminate the recipes and, concurrently, develop and implement strategies for consumer information and education about the national agrobiodiversity products, with emphasis in their nutritional value and socio-environmental benefits.
4) Implementation and maintenance of school gardens.
5) Support studies in economic and regulatory aspects aiming to solve or minimize policy problems within the production chain of the native agrobiodiversity products and support studies aiming to evaluate technological alternatives to add value to the sociobiodiversity products.
6) Allow the development of activities that favor the proposition and implementation of policies that clearly foster the integration of edible food biodiversity within health, agriculture, education and development sectors and, simultaneously, reduce/ exclude policies that threaten this integration.
Proposed key activities
INSTITUTION NAME: PERSON IN CHARGE OF THE PROGRAMME, POLICY, PLAN, ACTION: Name of the Programme, Policy, Plan, Action in the scope of the sustainable use of biodiversity for human nutrition: Objectives: Public/ Beneficiaries: Region (Federation Unit) of reach: Beggining date /Implementation period Annual Budget ( 2008-1011): Outline how the Programme, Policy, Plan, Action will benefit from the GEF-Nutrition Project´s results and the activities: Outline which information or data may be generated by the GEF-Nutrition Project that may foster the Programme, Plan, Policy, Action objectives (as: (i) nutritional composition determination of extrativism species/cultivars; (ii) evaluation of extrativism inventory; (iii) ethnobotanic survey; (iv) development of strategies/educational material in several steps of the extrativism production chain (from field to table); (v) capacitating actions; among others). Outline the biodiversity species already priorized/identified in the activities in developmento by thie Programme/Plan/Policy/Action. If possible, please add production data as well as processing and commercialization procedures (including values). Outline the challenges for the integration Food -Biodiversity-Production and Consumption – Food Security in the scope of the Programme/Plan/Policy/Action. If possible, please, describe for the Programme/Plan/Policy/Action: Strengths (internal environment), Weakness (internal environment), Opportunities (external environment), Threats (external opportunities) Outline other data that may be important for the project:
Rationale:
• Lack of Nutritional Data for the Socioagrobiodiversity products
• Obstacles for the production, selling and commercialization from agrosociobiodiversity products (animal and vegetal) including:
scale, quality, seasonality, logistics, transport, storage, conservation, shelf life improving technologies, transformation technologies, infrastructure, good manufacture practices, consumer awareness and so on.
• Obstacles related to the management of the “organizations / associations”
• Issues related to market and regulatory demands
Agrobiodiversity Products Targeted in the Brazil-GEF Nutrition Project
Project Development in Brazil:
Edible Species
“The Plants for the Future Project” - (MMA)
“National Plan for the Promotion of Socio-biodiversity Product Chains” (PNPSB) - (MMA, MDA, MDS)”
“Non conventional leafy vegetables”
Plants for the Future (2004)
Objetives• Identify local or regional Brazilian plant species of actual or
potential economic value;• Prioritize potential species and promote their sustainable use
aiming to:
Identify new options for direct use by family farming; Broaden the opportunities for industry investment on the
development of new products; Evaluate the degree of use and the existing gaps on the scientific
knowledge; Increase food security and contribute to minimize the vulnerability of the Brazilian food system; Develop partnerships towards the characterization of the
nutritional value of these native plant species.
Plants for the Future: methodology
Information gatheredUses - Management - Productive chain - Regional importance - Ecology - Geographical distribution.
Criteria for the definition of priority species
• Traditional use;• Existing market;• Extractive exploitation / cropping;• Existing studies;• Threatened or not / endemism;• Multi-functionality and use.

2- Implementation Arrangements
Project Development in Brazil:
Choosing the sites: Participative process
Identify at least three undergoing “projects”/ sites (from field to table/market/governmental facility) and the “obstacles” where the project can interfere
(http://www.agendha.org.br/)(http://www.biofort.com.br/_eng/index_eng.php)
BUT IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY :
Nutritional evaluation of agrobiodiversity food items and Food Composition Data made available
Identification of agrosociobiodiversity within the food items acquired by the Federal initiatives (PAA and PNAE) (examples examples)
Proposed Strategies
• Activities will be, preferable, developed by CECANES*
• Colaborative actvities with NGO and other Institutions
• Implement or improve networks for FCD
• Search for financial funds aiming research activities for filling the gaps (technological, agronomic, economic, management, logistics, human resources, markets, consumer behavior) in order to achieve continuity)
Next Steps
• Meeting with the national partners to define the Operational Plan which includes:
- Definition of the “sites -projects”
- Methodology (including the definition of Collaborating Centers)
- Chronogram
- Responsibilities definition
Final Consideration
Huge challenge!
