Workshop 1 How can we feed the world?

To feed humankind is to assume that the world’s farms are sustainable. And, whatever the continent, irrespective of agricultural policies, farmers must live from their production for their farms to “survive”, however, this is not the case in many developed or developing countries. How can this equation be solved with an equal balance between each region? How relevant is the goal for a fair and profitable price? Isn’t the sustainability of farms achieved by innovation and progress? Is the agricultural science and technological divide coming to an end? What are the promising experiences in this area?

Workshop 2 How can the co-existence between different world

agriculture be achieved? Why is the co-existence between world agriculture and development models essential to the stability of the planet? Because it is key to:

- giving agricultural zones under development perspective for the future, -ensuring that tomorrow, agriculture and food do not become geopolitical power stakes and factors for conflict as energy has.

We will therefore reflect on agricultural models for development and multilateralism in its present form. Do they (and will they) deal with agricultural and food crises? In this regard, is it not urgent to define at what level agricultural and food crises break out?

From these debates: "concentration versus co-existence in agricultural production zones", "peasant farming versus agribusiness", "regionalism versus multilateralism" will derive the new principles for international agricultural trade regulation.

Workshop 3 What are the new risks to world agriculture and the

resulting threats to the stability of the planet ? In recent years, agriculture and food have returned to the forefront of the media-political scene: and the first edition of Dakar Agricole 2005 was a precursor.

But has the scope of the risks and threats that arise from agricultural and food crises for global stability been adequately assessed?

This is not the case, for the simple reason that the land on which those involved in agriculture is under transformation. For example, speculation is not only highly developed but is also taking on new forms. In parallel, the mapping of those involved in agriculture is changing to suit the growing number of acquisitions of agricultural assets.

In this context, how do we guarantee food security for a world that will contain 9 billion people by 2050? We shall identify the first elements for response (the regulation of excessive speculation, food self-sufficiency programs, the development of cooperative networks ...).

Workshop 4 Are the current assessment tools adapted to the new

global economic context? The recent financial and economic crises and the latest riots have raised awareness to the weakness of assessment tools and the need to rethink them in order to be able to address the new economic world. Reports are multiplying in this direction. For agriculture, the situation is hardly better, notably because it has been neglected by experts from international organizations. The inadequacy of current models is clear and the first edition of Dakar Agricole underlined the need to build and promote new models. There are however new, promising approaches (eg the momagri model).

Globalization, increased trade, the interconnection of markets ... these change the situation and call for assessment. Do adequate measurement tools and the information to understand, anticipate and decide exist? What is the contribution from the latest developments in research on economics and agronomy?

Workshop 5 Global governance for food and agriculture: A utopia

or a necessity for the future of humanity?

And what if world food and agricultural governance is not simply a utopia, because it enables policymakers to finally resolve the problem of hunger and poverty whilst avoiding the destabilizing consequences of agricultural and food crises?

Since the first edition of Dakar Agricole highlighted the world agricultural divide, voices from all sides have been raised in favor of such governance. Even the G20 seem to agree to this idea, given the convergence of the number of challenges faced by agriculture (population growth, global warming, the fight against poverty, economic development, ...). Even though there is an emerging political consensus, it is still necessary to recognize the need for debate on the "how " and the " terms" of this governance. This debate concords with current thinking in view of renewing global governance, based on previous, completed work. This is the objective of this "workshop".

Workshop 6 Regulation: how should the international community

be organized? Current governance methods are no longer adapted to the new economic and social context. The mandates of international institutions are limited: WTO for international trade, the IMF for structural support, WHO for health regulations....

How can we coordinate and does the international community have the means to regulate agricultural markets? These are the big questions being raised by all those concerned about the terms of global governance. Shouldn’t the "bill " from the previous financial crisis of 2008 encourage us to make every effort to avoid the worst, namely food crises compounded by the weakening of global agricultural potential?

Estimating the cost of food security and the “collateral” threats to the destabilization of world agriculture would be a first step towards mobilizing the international community. On this basis, the role of regulation needs to be assessed in the aim of drawing up a draft consensus on this issue which creates controversy if it lacks common goals.

Program - three thematic roundtables

Each thematic roundtable is divided into two sessions:

- Sessions 1, from 9h to 11h, a total duration of 2h

- Sessions-2, from 11h15 to 13h, a total duration of 1h45

Thematic roundtable 1

Under which principles can agricultural markets be regulated to prevent

agricultural and food crises and give farmers more visibility?

Thematic roundtable 2

Which pilot tools and what type of international cooperation will improve

food security and combat poverty?

Thematic roundtable 3 On what grounds should a new global governance be created to ensure that agriculture, food and environmental preservation are top priorities?

16

Thematic roundtable 1

Under which principles can agricultural markets be regulated to prevent agricultural and

food crises and give farmers more visibility?

The principles will be the result of an analysis of the context: a world agricultural divide, the worrying prospect of agricultural and food crises, as well as the challenges and risks of global destabilization.

Moreover, the proposed guidelines take into account the characteristics and the strategic nature of agriculture (volatility, lower incomes for farmers, increasing hunger throughout the world ...).

This thematic roundtable will highlight the complementary and interrelated roles between regulation and innovation for the prevention of future agricultural and food crises.

Indeed, the volatility of agricultural prices, aggravated by increasingly destabilizing speculation and the

necessity for each state to ensure a minimum level of food security, call for an international food and

agricultural policy which defines the principles of regulation.

The clock is ticking to the rate of population growth and systemic crises that go well beyond the financial

sphere and deeply undermine the very foundation of the global economy.

The principles, proposed by Momagri as a result of extensive consultations, will be presented at the

second Dakar Agricole. They could form the "basis of the Dakar Agreement " founder of the World

Organization for Agriculture and Food, the first international body, regulating in the most sensitive arena

for the future of humanity.

Thematic roundtable 2

Which pilot tools and what type of international cooperation will improve food security

and combat poverty?

The failures of the models used so far will be recalled and clarified with the perspective of identifying

the contribution from recent international economic developments to more clearly understand the

functioning of agricultural markets.

We will also debate the need to change the "paradigm" in order to properly assess the risks in

agriculture and identify appropriate regulation.

This will be the opportunity to present and discuss the economic model and the rating agency designed

and developed by momagri.

It is essential to have instruments for piloting and evaluation that restore politics’ role as decision maker

and to indicate the routes to be taken within the Dakar agreement. It is in this context that the momagri

model was designed, to provide a simulation tool, which is so badly needed today and to launch a

rating agency that delivers opinions, instructions and assessments on the challenges that confront

agriculture, the environment and the fight against poverty.

Thematic roundtable 3

On what grounds should a new global governance be created to ensure that agriculture,

food and environmental preservation are top priorities?

How should the World Agricultural Organization be built whilst avoiding burdening the already complex

UN agency devices and other international organizations?

A new form of international cooperation must be invented :

- By creating a monitoring body, using the pilot tools discussed in the previous theme, which combine

only in the event of crisis, based on the terms for intervention under application of the principles of

regulation : anticipate, forecast and intervene in a concerted manner.

- By combining the existing competencies of different international organizations : the FAO, the IMF,

the World Bank, the WTO, the UNDP, the UNCTAD, the UNEP etc… The goal is to federate the

expertise currently spread across a broken governance system, around pilot tools and principles for

action specific to agriculture and its challenges.

- By calling for the creation of a Food Security Council (FSC), forged under the same principles as

the UN Food Security Council (monitoring, warning, regulation, decision making) that reposes on

two pillars : the one political, which represents the states of the five continents in rotation, the other

for managing, preparing and enhancing the work of the FSC.
