Dokumentu | Policy on Food and Nutrition Security In January 2017, the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries approved a new food security policy for Timor-Leste, the National Food and Nutrition Security Policy. Prior to this, Timor-Leste had a 2005 National Food Security Policy (Port.). This latest policy was a revision of the 2005 Food Security Policy, but makes no reference to the 2014 National Food and Nutrition Security Policy which was also produced based on an evaluation of the 2005 policy. The 2017 National Food and Nutrition Security Policy was produced following consultation with various interested parties, including relevant ministries, international agencies, academics and NGOs.

Dokumentu | Policy and Strategy for Agriculture Sector Development In 2017, the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries together with FAO produced a new draft Agriculture Policy and Strategic Framework, pending approval by the Ministry. Before this, there was a 2004 Policy and Strategy for Agriculture Development. The new policy was produced by evaluating the old one, and also through consultation with interested parties from various sectors, including relevant ministries, civil society, academics and farmers. During this process, La'o Hamutuk submitted recommendations to improve this policy, and most of our recommendations were included in the latest version. La'o Hamutuk's suggestions including the following main points: Mobilize all resources to maximize agricultural production through practices which follow the principles of food sovereignty. Develop an agriculture development program which, in addition to increasing production, also creates opportunities to develop other inter-linked sectors, such as agro-tourism and industries to process agricultural products. Include fair trade principles in all programs to ensure that farmers are fairly recognized for all their productive work, through a fair price and acknowledgement for their products, free of manipulation by people with lots of money. Especially focus on increasing farmer's capacity for production, management and marketing, as a way to empower farmers who are key to the agriculture sector. Increase investment in small and medium scale irrigation, that will benefit fruit and vegetable production, animal husbandry and other factors. Promote and strengthen the cooperative sector as a way to organize farmers to strengthen their production, processing, management and bargaining power. Study and protect local agricultural practices which support production and don't destroy the environment, and promote practices for an agro-tourism program.

Dokumentu | Decree-Law on Pesticides FAO and the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries began to develop a decree-law on pesticides in 2017. This new law aims to control the introduction, distribution and application of pesticides in the country. FAO and MAF invited interested parties to share their thoughts about the draft law, and La'o Hamutuk provided commentary. La’o Hamutuk's comments on the Pesticide Law tried to explain to the government that prevention is the best way to control pests. Introducing chemical pesticides is not a sustainable solution. Although pesticides can resolve some problems in the short term, they create more problems in the long term. The use of chemical pesticides in agricultural production provides the greatest benefits to the companies which produce and sell pesticides, rather than to farmers. These companies make more profits when the pest infestations grow, because the demand for pesticides increases, and they also increase their prices. In the end, farmers who depend on chemical pesticides will suffer because the cost of production goes up and their land, crops and paddies are damaged. In March 2019, FAO and the Ministry held a workshop on a revised draft of the decree-law, and La'o Hamutuk provided another comment.

We believe that a better and more sustainable path to reduce food insecurity and malnutrition in Timor-Leste, reduce dependence on imported food, and also improve people’s lives would be to promote small-scale, family agriculture, which would reflect Timor-Leste’s local context. This Food Sovereignty would also reduce our vulnerability to negative impacts from global problems like the Covid-19 pandemic, which today confronts the entire world.
