    This Policy Brief is one in a series led by Chulalongkorn University (CU) with support from the Office of the Higher Education Commission (OHEC), Ministry of Education, Thailand, in partnership with FAO. The series was initiated to support the ASEAN Work-Plan on Education (AWPE), 2016-2020 implementation while Thailand was Chair of ASEAN in 2019 under the theme: “Advancing Partnership for Sustainability.” The Briefs offer critical interdisciplinary perspectives on agri-food systems from social and sustainability sciences. They are fully aligned with the regional initiative on Food System Transformation and are meant to support the work engaged with ASEAN. The first brief focuses on the potential of Higher Education Institutions in South East Asia to contribute to more sustainable agri-food systems. It highlights the need for better documentation and evaluations of tertiary agricultural education, research and extension data and impacts to properly monitor and assess SDG progress. It advocates for strengthened universities encouraging critical thinking, teaching and multi-disciplinary research on Sustainable Agriculture concepts, practices and SDGs helping students, government decision-makers and farmers to make practical choices based on reliable evidence.

    National and international focus on forests and forestry has grown rapidly in recent times. New factors are coming into play and an increased understanding of forest-related processes and how to manage them for the greatest benefit is required. Improved performance at all levels will be necessary and it is likely that a protracted period of institutional strengthening and training will be required to implement new standards and expectations effectively.
