Southeast Asia is home to more than 600 million people with diverse cultures, diets and stages of economic development. Science helps determine optimum diets (including indigenous foods), sustainable agricultural productivity and paths to reduced inputs and environmental impact. Innovation is important for progress, which includes novel proteins, food engineering, drones and digitalization, as well as new plant breeding technologies and improved sensors for health and pathogens. Education on utilizing these technologies will be essential for stakeholders from food producers to consumers. This event presented some of the challenges and opportunities and hosted a panel discussion on steps for progress.

Food and nutrition are key determinants of our overall health status; and poor nutrition and lifestyle choices contribute significantly to chronic disease risk. In today's world, the food system has multiple players across the entire food chain with government, academia, industry and the general public working together to bring food to our tables. Science and technology are critical to make our food supply safe, sustainable, and nutritious. Scientists need to work with both government and industry to ensure sustainable diets are possible. However, criticisms are sometimes levied on industry collaboration with governments, questioning the integrity of the science being undertaken.
The International Life Sciences Institute Southeast Asia (ILSI SEA) Region hosted a virtual 2.5hr-workshop with key experts working on the important topic of Science and Research Integrity on June 24, 2021, with particular focus on issues facing scientists in Southeast Asia. This webinar obtained views and perspectives from experts working on guiding integrity standards in science and research, provided an overview of current efforts in the SEA Region to support scientific integrity in food and nutrition research, and facilitated the development of a regional network for supporting Scientific Integrity in science research and public health programs.

From the earliest observations of differing microbes associated with the human body in the late 1600s, and beginnings of research in the 1800s there has been a rich history of scientific endeavour focusing on what is now known as the human microbiome. Who has not heard of Pasteur, Koch and Metchnikoff and their beliefs in the roles of microorganisms in human health and disease? The foresight of these pioneers, and others, prepared the foundations of a field of scientific study that we now believe can support human health in many ways.
Fast forward to 2021, the emerging science of the role of the gut microbiome in human health is growing extremely rapidly with enormous complexity. This virtual Gut Microbiome Conference Series highlighted the very latest science, from the leading scientific and application experts.
This conference provided you with breakthrough ideas and inspiration to propel you in your research and business to find solutions that can improve human health!
