THE REGION INTENDS TO SHARE ITS VIEWS ON FOOD SECURITY
AND NATURAL RESOURCES SUSTAINABILITY,
TO BETTER ADDRESS THE WORLD FOOD NEEDS IN A SUSTAINABLE WAY
BASED ON THE REGION’S:
Natural resources endowment and human capital available
Proven track record of innovation and growth
Efficient and competitive business models
Environmentally-friendly production systems
High potential growth of production and exports

THE REGION’S PRODUCTION SYSTEMS AND BUSINESS MODELS
ARE EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Efficient business models: Quick adoption of innovations without need of subsidies. Networks, scale, specialization within the steps of the value chains
Environmentally-friendly production systems:
The no-till strategy has proven to be a low input sustainable production
strategy, allowing an efficient use of water available and improving soil
conditions, increasing productivity, with low impact on global warming
Alternative to high intensive production systems and to other unrealistic “greening agriculture” proposals

SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION: NO TILL STRATEGY IN SOUTH AMERICA
Corn after wheat. Low use of energy and inputs.

NON SUSTAINABLE INTENSIVE AGRICULTURE IN EUROPE
(Italy:Tuscany)High use of energy and chemicals; deterioration of soils and ground water

NEXT DECADE PROJECTED PRODUCTION GROWTH RATES FOR THE REGION ARE SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER THAN OCDE-FAO PROJECTIONS
FOR THE WORLD (annual % growth rates)
And regional production estimates could grow substantially more than baseline projections

REGIONAL VIEWS AND PERSPECTIVES:
KEY ISSUES FOR THE INTERNATIONAL AGENDA ON FOOD SECURITY
AND NATURAL RESOURCES SUSTAINABILITY
1. Strenghtening world agricultural R&D aimed at promoting productivity increases and a more efficient and sustainable use of natural resources. Review of international cooperation strategies
2. Technical assistance to developing countries, including improved North-South and South –South cooperation. New approaches
3. Increased investment in infrastructure and in innovation along the value chains to reduce post-harvest losses and waste. International cooperation
4. Rational expansion to new agricultural areas with sustainable production models (no till strategy)

REGIONAL VIEWS AND PERSPECTIVES:
KEY ISSUES FOR THE INTERNATIONAL AGENDA ON FOOD SECURITY
AND NATURAL RESOURCES SUSTAINABILITY (cont)
5. Elimination of all barriers to trade. The risk of new non tariff
barriers, such as labor and environment restrictions and other
private standards
6. Sound economic policies in developing countries
7. Market development: improvement of price formation mechanisms
in spot and future markets, particularly in developing countries
8. Regional specificities of biofuels production

GPS is a project that brings together non-public organizations and renowned personalities from the agro industrial sector in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay (ABPU), the largest net exporters of primary foods in the world.
GPS was established with the following goals:
Be a forum of thought of and proposals for the consolidation, development and evolution of the ABPU region in the agro-industrial sector
Be an active participant as a non-public organization at forums where food security, global governance, production standards, and trade regulations issues are discussed, to state our position on these issues
Implement, disseminate, and strengthen sustainable use of and improved management of natural resources, with special care on environmental and social factors
Promote joint efforts and integration of production and trade among the four member countries
Work together with other organizations willing to participate in this program
