Food Security Forum
09 December 2020
ADB’s Strategy 2030 calls for urgent attention to meet the challenges of poverty, food insecurity, and rural prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Rural Development and Food Security Forum aims to seek knowledge on enabling policies, technologies, and investments that will help DMCs/ADB generate rural prosperity and effective stewardship to land and water (fresh and marine) resources.
This event targets government and intergovernmental organizations in the region, multilateral and bilateral development institutions, private firms, research and development institutions, think tanks, and centers of excellence, NGOs, civil society and advocacy organizations, and other individuals engaged in agriculture and natural resources in ADB’s client countries.
