Forty percent of the terrestrial surface is modified by food system activities such as input production, food production, transport, retail and disposal. The environmental impacts of food production are severe while undernourishment affects nearly 900million people. By developing a tool called the agro-ecosystem-index (ASC-index) the r4d project Food Sustainability (FoodSAF) assesses the capacity of a farm to provide agro-ecosystem services. This tool provides relevant information about the contributions of various food systems to sustainable development.

This video-clip was produced as part of the r4d programme Digital Storytellers synthesis project. Its contents were filmed and selected by Horacio Augstburger, Centre for Development and Environment, University of Bern, in collaboration with local partners in Bolivia and Kenya. The digital storytelling process was accompanied and supported by Paitití Lab.
