Institute for Sustainable Food Systems 2017 Report

Introduction The Institute for Sustainable Food Systems (ISFS) was created in the Fall of 2015 and has assembled some of the very best experts to work together to address challenges facing global food systems to deliver food security. Our research falls into four broad categories:

Food, Health and Nutrition

Global Food Security

Tools for Decision Makers: Global Food Systems Models

Food Production (Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries), Natural Resources and the Environment

New Metrics The Global Food System is a complex web of cultures, values, international trade, markets, public and private institutions, farmers, ranchers, fishers, technology, genetic resources, environmental and bio-physical interactions. Operationally our work focuses on Aquatic Systems, Terrestrial Systems, and Food Safety and Human Nutrition. Our activities include: 1) conducting research on real-world issues that is timely, relevant and pushes beyond the frontier of current knowledge; 2) developing new curricula and training; and 3) communicating results to consumers, producers, marketers, distributors, traders and other public and private decision makers.

The competitiveness and profitability of Florida firms involved in food production, marketing, distribution and global trade depend on this new knowledge and talent. Furthermore, given the ever-increasing international trade in food, understanding the global food system is essential to ensure that safe and nutritious food is readily available to consumers.

Programmatic progress in the past year and priorities for the next year: Our Academic Advisory Board met in May 2017 to evaluate ISFS and to discuss programmatic priorities. Our ISFS website http://isfs.institute.ifas.ufl.edu has been frequently updated with news, information, and funding opportunities. Our monthly user counts have ranged from 275-360 users over the past year. In 2017, we started social media accounts on both Facebook and Twitter. Our email newsletter, published monthly, has expanded to 115 recipients. External funding by ISFS Core faculty and colleagues has been excellent. The group has worked with colleagues to attract funding with 32 projects total, with the 18 newly awarded in 2017 constituting $12.8 million, and previously funded (continuing from 2016 or earlier) projects totaling an additional $4.4 million (Totals excludes the USAID funding for the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Livestock Systems). We hosted four seminars this year representing a wide range of interdisciplinary research in food systems and plan to host at least eight seminars in 2018, including co-hosting with other academic units.

ISFS will be co-sponsoring a symposium on food and health in Africa, March 1, 2018 (Sarah McKune and Arie Havelaar are the conveners). We are planning a “Future of Food Symposium” for September 2018. In 2017, the ISFS Core faculty published over 62 articles, chapters and reports and made over 57 invited presentations at conferences, workshops and meetings. In 2017, ISFS hosted 22 visiting scholars from 9 countries (other than the US): China, Norway, Iran, Pakistan, Cuba, Brazil, Italy, Turkey, and South Korea.

The ISFS UF Faculty Fellows Program was developed and the first class of two fellows began their two-year terms in August 2017. We plan to continue with a new 2 person cohort each year. Senthold Asseng will lead a transdisciplinary team of crop modelers, crop physiologists, breeders and geneticists to address issues directly related to Global Food Security and Food Production and Environmental Sustainability of global wheat production. The group will identify and globally test traits to improve wheat yield, mitigate increasing high temperature stress with global warming and quantify impacts on the nutritional value of grains and the nutrient losses from cropping systems due to changes in climate and crop management. This knowledge will guide research policy on future breeding and crop management strategies across global cropping systems to enhance the effectiveness of national and international investments in agricultural research and directly benefit agricultural producers and consumers. Greg Kiker will investigate how intra-household dynamics such as gender roles, health and food selection/allocation compare with external drivers to influence food security, vulnerability and overall resilience of resource-limited households. He will develop a community of practice towards household vulnerability modeling at UF with a strong gender and One-Health perspective, incorporate these concepts into intra-household dynamics within existing household and value chain models, and test the results against multi-country household metrics gathered through the Millennium Villages project. In 2018, we plan to develop an external (other research institutions) Fellows program, and select an initial cohort of graduate student fellows. The Global Food System Data Wall provides a state-of-the-art visualization of the global food system and our work. In 2017, we added more content and created a web and mobile compatible version. In 2018, we plan to continue adding content, including partnering with a new AEC class to translate content from IFAS researchers and explore other means of using technology to enhance public access to research. In 2017, we expanded our affiliated faculty network. In 2017, Anderson followed up on some of the recommendations made by the ISFS Global Leaders Advisory Board: Aquatic Systems; including working with Dr. Lisa Conti of the FL DACS on constraints to development of an aquaculture industry in Florida (offshore and terrestrial). In addition, Anderson has actively been working with Robins McIntosh, Sr. VP. Charoen Pokphand Foods Co. Ltd. (CP Foods), Bangkok, Thailand to investigate the potential for a partnership between UF and CP Foods to build a center of excellence in shrimp aquaculture at UF and to catalyze the development of a significant shrimp aquaculture industry in the US.

In 2018, we plan to continue to to actively work with Miss State Univ., Texas A&M and other to develop a Feed the Future Innovation Lab on Aquatic Foods. The USAID is planning to release the RFA in March 2018.

Progress in the last year and plans for the next year for our research priority areas: Food Systems and Human Health and Nutrition

Anderson will continue evaluation of the state of the global shrimp industry based on an annual survey of the leading shrimp producers and shrimp feed companies around the world. Updates are presented annually at the Global Outlook for Aquaculture Leaders (GOAL) conference.

Arie Havelaar, Adegbola Adesogan, and their collaborators recently (December 2017) secured funding from the Gates foundation. Dr. Havelaar’s contribution to the project will focus on interventions to reduce stunting in children in Ethiopia that control environmental enteric dysfunction caused by exposure to Campylobacter bacteria in chicken excreta. This project will gear up in 2018. Press release here.

Havelaar worked to improve foodborne enteric disease transmission estimates; and will continue work supporting FL DOH through projects at the Florida Center of Excellence for Food Safety.

Havelaar will continue to collaborate with Dr. McLamore and Dr. Munoz-Carpena on implementing biosensors to obtain high-resolution spatial and temporal data on microbial contaminants in food chains.

Havelaar chairs the WHO Foodborne Disease Burden Reference Group (FERG). Arie Havelaar’s work with FERG formed part of the basis for the 2017 proposal made by Awilo Ocheing Pernet, Chair of the Codex Alimentarius Commission, to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to advocate for the establishment of June 7th as World Food Safety Day to raise awareness of the issue.

Havelaar serves as the Lead for the Livestock Disease Management & Food Safety area of inquiry of the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Livestock Systems, a USAID initiative housed in the UF Animal Sciences department

Havelaar continues to use quantitative microbial risk assessment to study dose-response modeling and the impact of acquired immunity on case-control studies.

Havelaar, in collaboration with the Livestock Innovation Lab group, is working to define sustainable livestock chains, including how to incorporate information on nutrition quality (including protein sources) into ideas of sustainable agricultural intensification.

Havelaar continues to develop and refine risk ranking models to inform priority setting of food safety decisions.

Havelaar completed work with GLOBALG.A.P. on hazard analysis of pathogens in produce chains.

Havelaar and his co-authors’ new publication: zDALY: An adjusted indicator to estimate the burden of zoonotic diseases, now available from One Health, presents a modification of the disability adjusted life year (DALY) which quantifies the burden of animal diseases on animal and human health.

Garrett’s group is applying network analysis to postharvest products and seed systems to evaluate

key control points for sampling and mitigation of mycotoxin contamination and disease, and risks to

system sustainability. A new evaluation of Ecuadorian potato seed systems was published in 2017

and work is ongoing to evaluate seed systems with the CGIAR Roots, Tubers and Bananas project.

Global Food Security

Sanchez led the World Food Prize, 2017 Borlaug Dialogue: “Fall Armyworm: A Clear and Present Danger to African Food Security.” October 18-20, 2017 in Des Moines, Iowa.

Asche participated at a SESYNC workshop in Annapolis that addressed the importance of aquaculture in nutrition.

Sanchez and Palm participated in the African Development Bank launch of their “Transformation of African Savannahs” project held in Ghana November 3-11, 2017. This project engages EMBRAPA’s expertise to apply lessons learned from cerrado agricultural development. The visit included a field trip and a two day meeting with government, universities, and NGOs from Ghana and the ADB.

Sanchez has finished updating his seminal book on Tropical Soils, with release anticipated Spring 2018.

Sanchez, Akinwumi Adesina, and Robert Fraley, all World Food Prize winners, released a statement of cooperation to address the widespread destruction of African crops by the newly introduced fall armyworm in October 2017. UF/IFAS and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) signed an agreement to work together on the newly created Fall Armyworm Science Advisory Board.

Asche attended a workshop in Italy, September 2017 to update the Fish Prices Index of the FAO.

The Future of Food advisory group for The World Bank, with Anderson serving, issued their recommendations “Future of Food: A Call for a Global Food System Innovation Partnership” as a draft concept note.

ISFS hosted a meeting with Dr. Lisa Conti, Chief Scientist of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and Dr. Krystal Pree and Dr. Makyba Charles-Ayinde, both National Academy Policy Fellows serving with FL DACS on September 9, 2017. We discussed the goals of ISFS, and barriers to and opportunities for sustainable terrestrial and aquatic food system development in Florida. Since that initial meeting, Anderson has consulted with Conti to create a panel to advise FL DACS foster the development of aquaculture in FL.

Palm serves on the USAID Feed the Future Sustainable Intensification Innovation Lab Indicators Working Group (2014-present).

Musumba, Palm and collaborators with the USAID Innovation Lab for Collaborative Research on Sustainable Intensification have finalized their sustainable indicators framework and launched it at the ASA meetings on October 24, 2017. The framework and accompanying manual are here.

Sanchez and Palm will continue long-standing collaborations with many African institutions, focusing on increasing food production while improving human wellbeing (income, nutrition) and minimizing environmental impact. As part of this initiative, Cheryl Palm organized and led a UF team (SVP Payne; Pedro Sanchez) for a 2 week visit with international (IITA, ILRI, ICRAF, CIMMYT) and national institutions (Aga Kahn University, Mpala Research Center, Millenium Villages Project) to explore research opportunities in agricultural and natural resources in Kenya.

The Garrett lab presented workshops on network analysis at Wageningen University and at CIAT-Asia in 2017, and will present a workshop at the International Congress of Plant Pathology in 2018.

Garrett is leading an analysis of disease resistance gene deployment through global crop breeding networks among CGIAR centers. The first publication from this project was published in 2017, with an assessment of cassava, potato, rice, and wheat systems.

Garrett is leading a multi-institutional analysis of opportunities for synergies among crop disease epidemiology and crop insurance programs.

Tools for Decision Makers

Garrett has translated the Impact Network Analysis (INA) platform into an R package for broad application in the management of agricultural systems. She plans to continue offering a yearly seminar course for graduate students in the application of INA to their research. This will facilitate the Garrett Lab’s collaboration with international teams applying INA in over 10 countries. The Garrett Lab will host multiple workshops in 2018 to support use of this new platform for collaborators in CGIAR and in the US.

Havelaar has worked with the Ecosystem Inception Team spearheaded by Adam Drewnowski on the perspectives piece “The Chicago Consensus on Sustainable Food Systems Science.” This publication results from the Global Dairy Platform’s Ecosystem Inception Team meeting from June 2016. Publication is expected in early 2018 in Frontiers in Nutrition. Dr. Havelaar will continue to work with the Global Dairy Platform to expand a network of food systems researchers.

Palm and team will continue to expand implementation of the Sustainable Intensification indicators framework with field partners in Africa and South Asia from Feed the Future – Sustainable Intensification Innovation Lab and AfricaRISING.

Palm led effort to establish a collaborative agreement and service contract with IITA (International Institute for Tropical Agriculture. The agreement will provide liaison and facilities for UF at the IITA offices in Nairobi/ Kasarani, Kenya. Patrick Mutuo will serve as UF liaison in Nairobi.

Palm organized a two day (October 26-27, 2017) visit of five IITA scientists to UF. The scientists discussed overlapping research and education efforts and potential collaborations with ISFS, SWS, Agronomy, Plant Pathology, and ABE.

The Garrett lab has a major focus on developing a platform for scenario analysis in complex systems, Impact Network Analysis, and most of the published projects of 2017 contribute to it. This platform allows for the evaluation of linked socioeconomic and biophysical networks through which new technologies may or may not achieve impact. Analysis of networks can improve the effectiveness of targeted interventions to reduce the spread of disease pathogens, insect pests, and other invasive species. For example, we developed and implemented new concepts for improved management of seed systems (Buddenhagen et al 2017) and global crop breeding networks (Garrett et al 2017)

Garrett continues to apply Impact Network Analysis to evaluate and enhance strategies to manage laurel wilt of avocado in Florida and globally as part of a major USDA SCRI project.

Garrett will continue work on seed system modeling with the CGIAR Roots, Tubers and Bananas project, with a new grant awarded for this purpose in 2017.

The Garrett lab added a new funded project in 2017 for plant disease management in Haiti as part of the USAID-funded UF AREA project.

Garrett traveled with IFAS Global and CLAS to Colombia in September 2017 to plan collaborations with Corpoica.

Garrett presented workshops on systems analysis at Wageningen and CIAT-Asia.

Havelaar’s work on farm-to-fork modeling of pathogens in animal and produce food chains is a basis for evaluating the public health impact of interventions, cost-benefit and risk-benefit analysis, and decision support modeling. A preproposal on such studies in produce chains was re-submitted to USDA-NIFA.

Palm’s group continues to expand application of a framework for assessing the sustainability of agricultural intensification in several sites in Sub-Saharan Africa (Ethiopia, Malawi, Mali, Tanzania, Senegal, Burkina Faso) and two sites in Asia (Bangladesh, Cambodia). The framework includes five domains of sustainability: agricultural production, economics, environment, human condition, and social; and works at four scales: plot, household, farm, and landscape/administrative unit. The framework is directed towards research for development projects and will be used to broaden the scope of agricultural projects to include these other crucial aspects of sustainability.

Palm’s group is characterizing the types and extent of the main soil constraints at the field and local scales in Africa that limit crop yield increases to improve yields without the negative environmental consequences of increased nutrient leaching and runoff and nitrogen gas emission that have been seen in other green revolutions. They are working with governments, businesses, NGOs and local extension services to develop locally appropriate recommendations to fertilize and manage the soils in order to more effectively and efficiently increase crop yields, a synergy of economic benefits and better environmental outcomes.

Sanchez is developing a collaborative program on food security and the environment with various research institutions of Cuba’s Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Higher Education. This program should gain traction in 2018, as signatures on the necessary MOU are secured. Sanchez has received confirmation that a signed memorandum of understanding is forthcoming from the Cuban Ministry of Agriculture, so he will secure funding for this research. The goals of the work are: 1) modernizing seed systems for grains and legumes, 2) expanding the study of soil and ecosystem management at established research “polígonos” to test improved farming systems for possible environmental externalities that could affect pristine coastal ecosystems, 3) implementing decision support systems for climate and management, and 4) encouraging university students to enter and continue careers in agriculture.

Garrett is a member of a working group evaluating maize lethal necrosis risk factors in East Africa with the National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS), University of Tennessee.

Garrett successfully taught the new course: Networks in Agricultural and Ecological Systems in Fall 2017. This course presented approaches for evaluating networks supporting food systems, from microbiomes to global trade, using the R programming environment.

Food Production (Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries), Natural Resources and the Environment

Asche and co-authors released a high impact paper in PNAS: “Seafood prices reveal impacts of a major ecological disturbance”. This paper provides evidence of the economic effects of coastal hypoxia on shrimp markets in the Gulf of Mexico.

Asche gave an interview that was used in two news articles published on sea lice and the salmon industry in Scotland on February 14, 2017. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-38966188, http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-38976273

Asche has continued work on the economics of all activities in the seafood supply chain, including analysis of regulatory impacts on productivity and producer behavior, how productivity growth leads to increased production (particularly in aquaculture) and how increased production challenges the environmental sustainability of the system.

Asche and Anderson participated in a second meeting in New York of the Global Ocean Think Tank (GLOTT) organized by WWF and the World Bank to improve fisheries management in international waters. Anderson participated in a third meeting in Santa Monica, CA of the Global Ocean Think Tank (GLOTT) organized by WWF and the World Bank to improve fisheries management in international waters. Both meeting features the Fishery Performance Indicators (FPIs) developed by Anderson, Asche and others.

Asche and Anderson will work on their recently funded (project start November 2017) NSF-NIFA INFEWS four year ($2.5 million) collaboration with Johns Hopkins and Arizona State to measure energy and water use along the production chain of top products in the US seafood supply to target the most impactful energy and water use waste-reduction strategies for producers, processors, and consumers.

Anderson will continue his ongoing work on the international shrimp market and aquaculture’s role in the global food system.

Asseng and Hoogenboom were part of a team of co-authors who recently published in Global Change Biology: A potato model intercomparison across varying climates and productivity levels, available here.

New Metrics

Hoogenboom’s group uses a systems analysis approach to understand the complex interactions of the food production system with an emphasis on the development of crop simulation models and decision support systems.

Hoogenboom will continue work on the world modeling project, integrating crop, climate, and socioeconomic models (funded by DARPA).

Upcoming planned proposals by Hoogenboom and collaborators includes greenhouse gas emission modeling, aflatoxin modeling for peanut and corn, development of a model for guar cropping systems, soil-water nutrient dynamics modeling. Additional priorities include gene-based modeling and data harmonization.

Applications of the DSSAT model coordinated by Hoogenboom range from freeze forecasting to climate variability and climate change, water resources management, biofuels, economic and environmental sustainability, and food security. He is working with Extension to use crop models to inform BMPs.

Hoogenboom will continue the expansion and development of DSSAT CRAFT and other applications in 2018 with the: - Jan 8-12, 2018. DSSAT Development Sprint at UF - May 14-19, 2018. 2018 DSSAT International Training Program at the University of Georgia

Anderson’s group has developed Fisheries Performance Indicators, a rapid assessment instrument designed to capture how fishery resources are contributing to the wealth being of the people and communities that depend on them, an intersection of variables measuring the interrelated factors affecting fish stock sustainability, economic benefits, and the well-being of local fishing communities. The commercial FPI database has expanded to 125 fisheries, adding 7 case studies in 2017 from Brazil, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the Caribbean. This research group will continue to expand and broaden the application of the Fisheries Performance Indicators (FPIs) and the associated research program. Numerous commercial and recreational FPI case studies are underway and 2-3 FPI manuscripts are nearly ready for submission.

Anderson’s group has completed the recreational FPI module and manual, detailed in a technical report to EDF, and conducted several case studies in Florida (bay scallops, spiny lobster and tarpon), Cabo San Lucas billfish and several pelagic fisheries in the Caribbean (Grenada and Dominican Republic).

The Fishery Performance Indicators Manual version 1.3 has been released. This manual provides a framework for assessing fisheries health based on a triple bottom line, incorporating information across ecosystem health, economic health, and social health axes. It is available here.

A new paper by Jingjie Chu, Taryn Garlock, Patrick Sayon, Frank Asche and James Anderson applies the Fishery Performance Indicators to evaluate a development project in Liberia: Impact Evaluation of a Fisheries Development Project, Marine Policy (2017) 141-149.

Mark Musumba, Cheryl Palm and collaborators with the USAID Innovation Lab for Collaborative Research on Sustainable Intensification have finalized their sustainable indicators framework. This suite of indicators enables the assessment of multiple dimensions of agricultural sustainability. The framework document outlining use of the indicators for policy decision-making and manual are both publicly available as of 10/27/17 here.

Palm’s group is exploring different models and methods for assessing and communicating tradeoffs and synergies among the agricultural production, environmental and human/social domains of agricultural intensification. They will leverage existing data sets from Africa and test communication strategies with a range of stakeholders.

Mark Musumba and Cheryl Palm were part of a team of co-authors of “Evaluating agricultural trade-offs in the age of sustainable development”, available from Agricultural Systems here.
