International Seminar on Sustainable Food System in Southeast Asia under and beyond COVID-19
19 May, 2022 - 20 May, 2022
Food systems transformation is at the center stage of sustainable development due to its interaction with various global issues such as malnutrition, chronic disease, poverty, environmental degradation, and climate changes. Given that Southeast Asia is an important region for agricultural and food production, facing challenges post-COVID-19 would require updated and evidence-based information to provide insights on the issues and challenges to ensure that actions regulations, policy implementation, capacity development would be facilitated. The policy responses and the actions should be guided by the recent evidence and the outcomes of the United Nations Food System Summit in September 2021.
The Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, Kasetsart University; Mekong Institute; Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Food Security Policy Research, Capacity, and Influence (PRCI), Michigan State University; and Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS-Asia), International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), and Agricultural Economics Society of Thailand under Royal Patronage (AEST) are organizing an international seminar focused on policies to promote sustainable food systems in Southeast Asia.
The seminar will share evidence-based research and provide policy recommendations to support the transition towards a post-COVID-19 sustainable food system.
