Main findings
Global food systems rely on national and regional ones to function properly. Regional food systems occupy a central role in ensuring a smooth transition between the national and global food systems. This underscores the importance for regional actions towards harnessing synergies. The Asia-Pacific region is crucial for the global food system, considering its scale in terms of population, human capital, economy and productivity; and its interdependence with global aquatic and agroforestry food systems. Regional cooperation and national transformation are the cross-cutting actions that can make

The region could increase food access and utilization by providing incentives to steer food consumption towards more diverse, healthy, and balanced diets by populations, especially women, children, and the urban poor, and improvement in food marketing and raise awareness. Climate action could be supported by expanding agro-ecological practices and promoting resilient food systems that produce healthy food. The region should tackle the vulnerabilities of women in agriculture by engaging women in policy-making process and understanding the challenges that women face such as lack of access and opportunities. A shift in consumption patterns and production processes could be achieved by improving waste management systems, and through a focus on digitalization of the farm and rural economy. Addressing supply chain practices at all stages and collaboration between primary food producers is key for making safe food available. Food standards should be harmonized at regional and sub regional level. Social protection system should be leveraged, by expanding investments in social protection systems that take food security and the nutritional needs of vulnerable populations into considerations. The region needs collaboration on technology transfer for more productive and climate resilient crops and practices, proper economic valuation of natural capital, and the improved access of farmers to land and social services. A business-conducive environment to attract private sector investments towards agricultural infrastructure is needed to grant farmers and consumers in the region access to wider markets and better products. This in turn calls for collaboration for regional standards and improved trade, as well as improved platforms linking food surplus and deficit countries to ensure food security. During the dialogue, stakeholders stressed the importance of, and commitment to, disseminating game-changing solutions centered around new technologies through regional platforms; promoting family farming a viable livelihood within the UN Decade of Family farming; pioneering actions to enhance consumers experience of food access and safety; reimagining global agriculture and increasing sustainability through value chains; coordinating to ensure and champion environmental sustainability at the food systems summit and beyond; improving rural development and food systems, with operational focus on climate change. قراءة القليل
