Can a regional transect profile contribute to fostering food systems transformation in ASEAN?
Following years of building regional evidence toward sustainable food systems transformation in select Southeast Asian countries, the Alliance has since scaled its efforts by leading collaborative work with national partners to achieve the shared vision for inclusive and nutrition-secure agri-food systems in the ASEAN region.

Can a regional transect profile contribute to fostering food systems transformation in ASEAN?
Following years of building regional evidence toward sustainable food systems transformation in select Southeast Asian countries, the Alliance has since scaled its efforts by leading collaborative work with national partners to achieve the shared vision for inclusive and nutrition-secure agri-food systems in the ASEAN region.
Since 2023, Food Environment and Consumer Behavior (FECB) researchers of the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT contributed to the development of country-level food system profiles for Cambodia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. The work, as part of Intervention Package 8 (IP8) under the ASEAN–CGIAR Innovate Program, closely collaborated with national partners to develop a regional transect food system profile, designed to capture variations across geographic, socio-economic, and food environment contexts within and across countries.
