Climate change, resource constraints, and other uncertainties have increased the instability and risks of the global food supply chain. Digitalization and innovation have the potential to transform the food system and enhance sustainable food security. To implement the APEC Putrajaya Vision 2040, the APEC Food Security Roadmap Towards 2030, it is necessary to strengthen exchanges and cooperation among stakeholders on digitalization and innovation across the food supply chain, focusing in particular on food production, processing, and distribution.

This project collected and shared best practices of public and private sectors on digitalization and innovation of APEC food supply chains. It promoted policy exchange and intends to be interconnected, innovative, and inclusive in strengthening MSMEs and small-scale producers. The outcome expects to contribute to carrying out the Implementation Plan of the APEC Food Security Roadmap Towards 2030.
