    Food security means ensuring that all people at all times have access to the food they need for a healthy, active life. Increasing food production contributes to food security within communities and nations by making more food available and by generating employment and income. But increased production alone cannot guarantee food security. Increased income through value addition to agricultural raw materials is a way to conserve and market, and also to purchase food. This paper presents the chall enges and opportunities for rural infrastructure and agroindustries development in the Asia Pacific Region.

    The study report is based on case studies from Bangladesh (Sulaiman, 2010), Bolivia (Pafumi and Ulloa, 2010), DR Congo (Mbaye, 2010) and Ghana (Adjei-Nsiah and Dormon, 2010) which were carried out with the purpose of assessing needs and gaps with regard to the provision of innovation support services for climate change adaptation. It took the form of desk-studies complemented with key informant interviews. Research results showed that climate change adds urgency to the need for adaptation in its widest sense in the natural resources sphere (agriculture, forestry, natural resources management, livestock and fisheries). The main message from the study is that not only is technical change for farm-level adaptation and mitigation needed, but also a change of policy and institutional regimes that govern agricultural production, value chains and natural resource management
