The Asia Pacific regional food systems dialogue is being organized in preparation of the Global Food Systems Summit. It will provide insights from the national dialogues that are currently being convened on the five action tracks, and identify opportunities for regional and sub-regional collaboration. It will also consider cross-cutting issues such as digitalization, data, urban agriculture, and women and other vulnerable groups that have emerged as priority areas for action during the recent Asia Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development.

A diverse range of stakeholders is expected to participate in order to consolidate regional views, perspectives and experiences regarding pathways and actions for equitable and sustainable food systems transformation to achieve healthy diets for all people in Asia and the Pacific and support the implementation of the SDGs within the context of current realities.
