Asia and the Pacific’s agrifood systems employ 40% of the workforce, but the region is still home to over half the world’s undernourished.

It’s time to transform food systems, modernize farms, and empower smallholders to turn hunger into history: https://t.co/vbYnPOX9Zg

ADB President Masato Kanda said the comprehensive new program would span the entire food production process – from farming and processing to distribution and consumption. #ADBAnnualMeeting

[Asian Development Bank @ADB_HQ]

As global demand for food rises and ecosystems strain, the urgency to build sustainable and fair food systems has never been greater.

Qingfeng Zhang discusses ADB’s decision to expand its support for food and nutrition security in Asia and Pacific.

[Masato Kanda @ADBPresident]

Toured the ADB-supported Yancheng Rare Birds National Nature Reserve, seeing firsthand how protecting biodiversity drives sustainable community development.

Conservation projects that generate ecotourism opportunities provide economic benefits for local communities while safeguarding vital ecosystems. @ADB_HQ is committed to nature-positive initiatives that combine environmental and economic goals.

[Masato Kanda @ADBPresident]

I’m pleased to have arrived in the People’s Republic of China. Today, I visited the ADB-supported Dafeng Milu Deer National Nature Reserve in Jiangsu Province.

Once near extinct, milu deer are now thriving thanks to dedicated conservation. Protecting biodiversity benefits communities economically through ecotourism and environmental stewardship. @ADB_HQ stands ready to support nature-positive and resilient development across Asia and the Pacific.
