BACKGROUND
In view of the recent establishment of the ASEAN Community on December 31, 2015, ASEAN Member States have laid out its common vision for sustainable agriculture and food security in the region through the ASEAN Integrated Food Security Framework and Strategic Plan of Action for Food Security for 2015- 2020. One of the key elements highlighted in the Framework and Plan of Action is the promotion of sustainable food production, such as by adopting new agricultural technologies to improve productivity and efficiency, reduce post-harvest losses, address climate change, as well as enhance nutrition.
To facilitate the adoption of these new agricultural technologies, it is important that key stakeholders along the value chain, including technology providers, food transporters, food processors, as well as the regulatory authorities, are aware of new technological developments and their potential implication on their respective responsibilities.
OBJECTIVES
This seminar aims to facilitate dialogue between the various stakeholders and share the latest information on advancements in agricultural technologies as a first step in working towards the successful adoption of new technologies to achieve sustainable food security in ASEAN
