The global food crisis of 2008 (which was characterized by both volatility in food prices and shortages of food) and the uneven but almost certainly largely negative impacts of climate change have drawn attention to the importance of food security as a regional challenge for institutions and governments in the Asia Pacific. This half-day Forum, which is supported by the Japan Foundation and the Macarthur Foundation, will explore the state of food security and the challenges of eliminating hunger in the Asia Pacific. Speakers will also address Japanese and Australian government approaches to regional food security issues.
