Contribution of Scholars and Students from CAU in Practicing Sustainable “Nested Market”

LiRan ChenChinaAgriculturalUniversity

Nowadays, how to guarantee food safety from the source meanwhile ensuring theprofitabilityofproducershasbecomeoneofthemostimportantproblemsinthefoodindustrythroughouttheworld.Toaddressthis,scholarsandstudentsinChinahavethoughtofhowtocombine predominant form of smallholder farming with utilizing resources sustainably tosupplybetter food,whilemakingsmallholdersbecomemorecompetitive in the foodmarket.ProfessorJingZhongYeinChinaAgriculturalUniversity（CAU）hascomeupwithaconceptcalled“NestedMarket”whichprovidesanopportunitytobridgesmallholdersandconsumersinthe supply chain. Nested Market focuses on producing food sustainably by using existingtechniquesavailablefarmingresourcesbasedontherawmaterialsandfarmingtechniquestheyhave in small and variable scales. In 2010, 12 students from College of Humanities andDevelopment Studies ofCAUhave discussed about a plan of experimentingNestedMarketbefore they implemented it in SangGang, a remote village in HeBei Province. They theninstructedfarmerstopromotetheirproductsthroughE-commercemeanwhilealsousedtheirown social networks in the city tohelpgather over 1000 consumers into thenest. Studentsbridged both sides also by letting them meet in person.

Thismushroom was reported to have the Mevinolin- anti-cancer（Demain AL, Sanchez S., 2009）.Currently, Pleurotus ostreatus is one of the main sources of income for many regions inVietnam, accounting for about 70% of the country’s output and enhancing the sustainableagriculturaldevelopment（NguyenNhuHien&PhamVanDu,2013）.

Solidarity AgricultureAn Approach for Students and Interested People to Uplift

Philip WerkmannUniversityofAppliedSciencesWeihenstephan-Triesdorf

Attheendofthiscenturyupto85%oftheworldpopulationwillliveincities.Already50% of the world population is living in growing metropolitan areas currently（“TheMetropolitanCentury,”2015）.Thisurbanizationhasabigimpactonagriculturalproductionandtherelationshipbetweenconsumersontheonehandandproducersontheother.Consumersfrom big cities loose more and more contact to the farmers and their work. In general,knowledge about food production and processing decreases. A growing misunderstandingbetweenthetwosidesistobenoted.Especially,youngerpeoplewhohavespenttheirwholechildhood in a big city never had the chance to get into agricultural production or had theresponsibilityfortheirownfoodproduction. One possibility to get the city population back into contact with the agriculturalproductionandtheoriginoftheirgroceriesagainissolidarityagriculture.Amethodwhichisattractive to youngpeople and students.The concept of solidarity agriculture is on the onehand based on a group of consumers and on the other based on a cooperative farmer oragriculturalproducer.Thegrocerieswillnotbesoldonaclassicmarketorprocessingindustrybutrunthroughanownorganisedcircleof“producing-selling-consumption”. In this concept, participating consumers have a contractwith a farmer.Theypay anannuallydeterminedfeetotheproducerofwhichhecancoverhiscostsandgainshisprofit.Mostly, this fee is paid on a monthly basis. Frequently the consumers have the chance toparticipate in simple labour issues, such as weeding or harvesting by hand. In return, theconsumers get the agreed amount of the harvest or, if the producer is processing food, theprocessedproducts. In summary, solidarity agriculture shows a high potential to close the growinggap –regardingtourbanization–betweenproducersandconsumers.InGermanyarisingnumberofconsumers andproducers in or close to urban areas take the opportunity to get benefits ofsolidarityagriculture.Meanwhile,therearedifferentvarietiesofthisconcepttofind.Imyselfworked on a farm at the suburban of Darmstadt who leases a part of their farmland tostudents and other interested people on a yearly basis.

Effects of Ecosystems Services on Crop Farming and on Land Fisheries

In my research I linked ecosystem services（ESS）in the Netherlands to both cropfarmingandonlandfisheries.ESSsummarizethebenefitssocietyreceivesfromcertainpartsof nature or environment（World Resources Institute, 2005）. The Millennium EcosystemAssessment（World Resources Institute, 2005）identifies four types of ecosystem service: 1. Provisioning services:Timber, fuel, freshwaterandothers2. Regulating services:Climate-and flood regulation 3. Supporting services: Nutrient cycle and soil formation 4. Cultural services:Aestheticandspiritualvalues.TheprovisioningofESSservicesbynaturethusplaysaholisticroleintheworld’ssociety.

Severalactionplanshavebeenimplementedinpreviousdecades,withnopositiveeffectsonincreasingCapercaillienumbers.Onetheory,whichisparticularlyimportantforcommercialforestry,isthatduetothecreationofcommercialforestryblocks,theoveralllightlevelsontheforest floor decrease. This, in turn, reduces natural light, which allows species such asBlaeberryandothershrubstothrive,providingfoodandhabitat.Inaddition,thebirdsareoftenfatally injured when colliding with deer fencing, as a result of this, the number of fences,introducedalongwithcommercialforestryinthe1970switharesultingdeclineinCapercaillienumbers,hasnowbeenreduceddramaticallywithintheCairngormsNationalPark（BBC,2019;GameandWildlifeConservationTrust,2019;SNH,2019）.

In commemorationof 110thAnniversaryof theFoundingofTokyoUniversity ofAgriculture, an InternationalStudents Summit on Food, Agriculture and Environment in the New Century is held. Students from twelvecountriesandareaintheworldparticipatedanddiscussedaboutpresentconditionsandfutureissuesonfood,agriculture and environment. With this opportunity, we air our opinions and views raised in this SummitdocumentedinthisTokyoDeclaration,whichweproposetotheworld.

1.Agriculture carries an important role of producing food for mankind to live. With the remarkablepopulation increase since the 1950s, food production has been greatly increased through the GreenRevolution, but negative effects to the environment and health occurred due to the intensive use ofchemical fertilizers and agricultural pesticides. For now and the coming years, global food productionincreaseandpovertyalleviationarevitalandagricultureplaysanimportantrole.“Therefore,weaimatsustainabledevelopmentintheNewCenturythroughtherecognitionofthevalueofagricultureasalifeindustry,andtherespectoftheuniqueecosystemandwisdomofeachregion.Throughthecollaborationbetweentraditionalagricultureknowledgeandwisdom,andmodernscienceandtechnology,weendeavortodevelopenvironment-friendlytechnologiesandproductionsystems.Eventually,wehopetodevelopandpromote a new form of organic agriculture which will meet social, economic and environmentalrequirements.”

International Students Summit Action Plan

73

Agricultural science plays a vital role in solving the fundamental problems of human beings in relation to food, environment, human health, and natural resources and energy. Because food production and consumption systems are closely related to the condition of the natural environment, the stage of economic development and food culture in each country and area, their patterns and problems reflect regional characteristics, requiring a multiple region-oriented approach. Tokyo University of Agriculture organized the International Students Summit on Food, Agriculture and Environment in the New Century in 2001 and adopted the “Tokyo Declaration”． In line with the action plan adopted at the 2nd International Students Summit in 2002, we hereby agree to organize the International Students Forum （ISF）, a students’ network for the betterment of food, agriculture, and environment problems.

1. ObjectiveInternational Students Forum（ISF） promotes information exchange and discussion among the students ofagricultural and other related sciences, in order to solve the problems common to human beings, such asenvironmentalconservation,developmentofharmoniousfoodproductionandestablishmentoffoodsafety.
