New evidence this year corroborates the rise in world hunger observed in this report last year, sending a warning that more action is needed if we aspire to end world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. Updated estimates show the number of people who suffer from hunger has been growing over the past three years, returning to prevailing levels from almost a decade ago. Although progress continues to be made in reducing child stunting, over 22 percent of children under five years of age are still affected. Other forms of malnutrition are also growing: adult obesity continues to increase in countries irrespective of their income levels, and many countries are coping with multiple forms of malnutrition at the same time – overweight and obesity, as well as anaemia in women, and child stunting and wasting.

Unsafe food is a burden that costs to the region of Asia and the Pacific 225 000 deaths every year. In 2020, the spread of COVID-19 has emphasized the critical need for pre-requisite food safety programmes such as those offering good hygiene practices for food handling, which are at the core of the response to COVID-19. From 17 to 26 November 2020, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has organized the Regional Food Safety Conference for Asia and the Pacific. The conference was hosted in collaboration with the Government of Thailand, to discuss the current food safety situations and opportunities with a particular focus on the needs and opportunities for the region. It consisted of four sessions with one discussed for each day, that held specific focus on different aspect of food safety: national food control systems, science and technology, multi-sectoral collaboration and the international trades, communication and education. The dialogues covered traditional topics such as food safety standards as well as new and emerging subjects such as innovative technologies and the spread of misinformation on food safety. Integrated food safety systems and strong regional collaborations among stakeholders were highlighted as highly important elements of a One Health approach, and it was shown how food safety is a shared responsibility and everyone in the food chain has a role to play.
