Food system refers to the constellation of activities involved in producing, processing, transporting and consuming food, which touch every aspect of human existence. In Asia, increasing food consumption by a growing population, together with changing dietary habits, poses an immense challenge for the global food system and is associated with environmental impacts, such as plastics and packaging, increasing use of harmful chemicals to increase production, and increasing food wastage. Shifting to more
sustainable food consumption patterns would greatly contribute to food systems transition in the context of Asia towards a sustainable, equitable, resilient and nutritious food system.
The EU SWITCH-Asia Regional Policy Advocacy Component and United Nations Environment Programme (Regional Office for the Asia-Pacific) in partnership with Asian Institute of Technology (AIT, Thailand) is pleased to invite you to attend A Sub-Regional Dialogue: Promoting Sustainable Food Consumption in Southeast and Northeast Asia through Farm-to-Fork Concept on 14 September 2021, 09:30 hrs (Bangkok time).
