Asian Development Bank – Strengthening Foundations for a Food and Nutrition-Secure Future, Nov 2024

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has released a comprehensive report titled "Strengthening Foundations for a Food and Nutrition-Secure Future" in November 2024. This report examines food security across six pillars: availability, accessibility, utilization, stability, agency, and sustainability. It highlights challenges such as low agricultural productivity, inadequate infrastructure, and gender inequality. With over 10% of households lacking sufficient food, the study emphasizes the need for integrated solutions that mitigate climate change impacts, improve rural services, and boost agricultural productivity to support resilient food systems essential for sustainable development.
