The outcome report of G7 Agriculture Ministers' Meeting in Miyazaki “G7 Joint Discussion Project Final Report”
G7 Agriculture Ministers, when they met in Miyazaki, Japan in April 2023, agreed in their Communique that “Recognizing the need for methods which adequately analyze both short and long term impacts of climate change, biodiversity loss, land degradation and other factors affecting future sustainability of agriculture, we welcome the initiative of the Presidency to launch a discussion among G7 policy experts to identify gaps in existing research and analysis to offer suggestions to facilitate inclusive transformation towards resilient and sustainable agriculture and food systems.”This report is the outcome of discussions among G7 policy experts in response to this call by G7 Agriculture Ministers and provides findings and recommendations from the discussions, which focused on two major issues:
● The environmental impacts of agricultural policies
● The impacts of export restrictions
These issues serve as examples, not end cases, in efforts to explore and to identify information and analytical gaps to contribute to informing policy making by G7 members and by wider international communities, in order to meet the multiple challenge in achieving resilient and sustainable food systems.
These findings and recommendations will be reported to G7 Agricultural Ministers, ahead of their Ministerial Meeting in September 2024 under the Italian G7 Presidency.
