dc.descriptionIn 2000, 617 million people in Asia and the Pacific were suffering from hunger. Although the number decreased to 512 million in 2016, food security challenges continue to evolve. A lesson learned from the 2007–2008 food price crisis is that food supply instability and price volatility not only increase the incidence of hunger and malnutrition but also affect social and political insecurity. About 400 farmers, development practitioners, women and youth leaders, and representatives from government, the private sector, and civil society gathered at the Asian Development Bank Food Security Forum 2016 to discuss new approaches to and consolidate advances in the fight against hunger and malnutrition. This report distills the discussions from that forum.
