Singapore Leads Regional Plan to Enhance Food Security in Southeast Asia
What happened

This plan will address issues ranging from financing to emergency preparedness. The initiative follows a Singapore-led study that forecasts rice and maize production across the region could decline over the next two decades. Singapore is hosting the Meeting of ASEAN Ministers on Agriculture and Forestry for the first time in ten years.
