    The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), World Food Programme (WFP), United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), and South Asia Food and Nutrition Security Initiative (SAFANSI) of the World Bank (WB) jointly organized the “Asia Pacific Symposium on Sustainable Food Systems for Healthy Diets and Improved Nutrition – Accelerating Nutrition”, held in Bangkok, Thailand on 10–11 November 2017. The symposium focused on exploring policies and programmatic options for shaping food systems in ways that deliver healthy foods for a healthy and sustainable diet, with an emphasis on concrete country experiences and challenges. The meeting was organized with the following objectives: 1) enhance agriculture and food systems’ visibility, create policy and programme options, promote sustainable diets and build partnerships through taking stock of evidence on transformational change in food systems toward sustainability, and their link to positive health and nutrition outcomes; 2) develop and strengthen information platforms on nutrition-sensitive agriculture and food systems for countries in the region so that countries can share that knowledge among consumers, producers and other stakeholders; 3) identify and promote major interventions for good nutrition governance and effective local level implementation; and 4) create synergies between regional policy actions and regional networks, including the Sustainable Development Goals, ICN2 Framework for Action, Decade of Action on Nutrition, and national multisector action plans and non-communicable diseases work plans. The sessions highlighted the following subthemes: a) supply side policies and measures for increasing access to healthy diets; b) demand side policies and measures for increasing access and empowering consumers to choose healthy diets; and c) measures to strengthen accountability, resilience, and equity within the food system. The symposium clearly highlighted that action on nutrition in Asia and the Pacific is far from complete.
