Synopsis (short abstract) Seeking to gain a better understanding of the role that agroecology can play in eradicating hunger and malnutrition, FAO organized the Multistakeholder Consultation on agroecology for Asia and the Pacific, held in Bangkok, Thailand on 24-26 November 2015. FAO acted as a facilitator to enable debates and foster collaboration among a variety of actors in order to advance science, knowledge, public policies, programmes and experiences on agroecology, supporting the strengthening of the already-exte nsive evidence-based knowledge for agroecological approaches in agriculture. The participants in this meeting, representatives of governments, civil society, including peasants, fisherfolks, pastoralists, urban communities, indigenous peoples, women’s organizations, youth and others, academia, and private sector, debated agroecological approaches in the region and challenges linked to food systems, climate change, natural resources, social innovation and public policies needed. They issued recom mendations for the development of agroecology in Asia and the Pacific after two days of discussion.

    Approximately one-third of all food produced globally is lost or wasted. Food losses are prevalent in developing countries owing to poor handling of the produce from the field through to the market place. Food waste is food that is thrown away even though it is still suitable for human consumption. Food waste is prevalent in developed countries, but is a growing problem in developing countries. Food loss and waste squander resources, including water, land, energy, labour and capital. The Food an d Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) launched the Save Food Initiative in 2011. Under the banner of this initiative, the FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific launched a region-wide campaign - the Save Food Asia-Pacific Campaign - on 28 August 2013 during a high-level multi-stakeholder consultation in Bangkok, Thailand. This report provides the outcome of the proceedings.
