Synopsis (short abstract) Malaysia's agrifood systems face mounting challenges from climate change, requiring strategic transformation toward resilience while maintaining food security and economic stability. This report documents outcomes from the "Envisioning sustainable agricultural futures in Malaysia" national participatory workshop, which established a vision for the country to embrace sustainable, resilient, and climate-smart agriculture ensuring access to safe, nutritious, and affordable food for all. The workshop identified six key drivers of change affecting agricultural transformation: climate change, food prices, geopolitical instability, consumption patterns, population dynamics, and emerging uncertainties. Through collaborative stakeholder engagement involving multiple key institutions, four strategic project concepts were developed to address these challenges: an agroecological transformation initiative, utilization of genetic resources and emerging technologies to enhance rice farming resilience, biodiversity conservation for climate adaptation, and modernized climate information systems for agriculture. The document outlines how these initiatives align with Malaysia's climate commitments while providing practical implementation pathways. Part of the Agriculture Sector Readiness project for enhanced climate finance in Southeast Asia, this workshop demonstrates how targeted climate-smart agricultural investments can simultaneously address decarbonization goals, enhance food security, and build systemic resilience in national agrifood systems facing climate uncertainties.
