Overview - Agrifood systems transformation in South Asia: An agenda for impact and learning at scale

from International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)

Abstract: South Asia is undergoing a profound transformation in both regional dietary patterns and agrifood production systems. Driven by rapid urbanization, rising incomes, changing lifestyles, and evolving food environments and market systems, the region faces a dual challenge: improving diets while ensuring sustainable and equitable food production. Recent surveys and research by CGIAR and partners across several South Asian countries highlight the urgency of action to address poor diet quality, rising consumption of unhealthy foods, and the limitations of current agricultural systems.
