Regional Dialogue: Promoting Sustainable Food Consumption and the Shift to Healthy Diets in Asia through Farm to Fork Concept

Increased food consumption by a growing population, combined with changing dietary patterns, poses a huge challenge to the global food system in Asia, and is linked to environmental issues including plastics and packaging, increased use of toxic chemicals to increase production, and increased food waste. Shifting to more sustainable food consumption patterns would make a significant contribution to Asia's transition towards more sustainable, equitable, resilient, and nutritious food system. This course aims to increase understandings of the current state and challenges of sustainable food consumption in Asia through policies and case studies. This will also help to foster awareness on significance of the food consumption through updates from the UN Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) and to share government policies and showcase good practices and initiatives on promoting sustainable food production. This online course is based on the Farm-to-Fork idea, with a focus on sustainable food consumption.
