The Post-2025 ASEAN Agrifood Landscape: What Next? By Paul Teng SYNOPSIS The ASEAN agrifood landscape – food produced from agriculture – has changed much since two key guiding documents were conceived – The ASEAN Vision and Strategic Plan of Action for Food, Agriculture and Forestry, 2016-2025, and the ASEAN Economic Community Blueprint, 2025. [...] Next year marks the end of two ASEAN planning horizons: the ASEAN Vision and Strategic Plan of Action for Food, Agriculture and Forestry (FAF), 2016-2025, and the ASEAN Economic Community Blueprint 2025. [...] Major FAF Landscape Changes How has the ASEAN agrifood landscape changed in the past decade? The ASEAN population has become increasingly urban, and according to the Asian Development Bank, income disparities between rural and urban areas have become more. [...] The past decade has also seen growth in the number of countries releasing and importing genetically modified crops, such as corn, to make up for the deficit in production. [...] This has led to the adoption of certification schemes like the Sustainable Rice Platform, which will become more common in the region.
