    This document contains a brief report of the FAO Regional Meeting on Agricultural Biotechnologies in Sustainable Food Systems and Nutrition in Asia-Pacific held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 11–13 September 2017. During the meeting FAO engaged a broad range of stakeholders from government officials and intergovernmental organizations to non-state actors, including civil society, private sector, research/academic institutions and cooperative/producer organizations in the dialogue on issues related to agricultural biotechnologies. The meeting underlined that a wide range of agricultural biotechnologies are currently being used in the region – from those that are low-tech and have been used for hundreds of years to those that are high-tech and newly developed. The meeting encompassed a wide spectrum of available biotechnologies used in forestry, crops, livestock and aquaculture/fisheries, from low- to high-tech. The meeting report emphasizes the role of agricultural biotechnologies to improve food security and nutrition and make food systems more sustainable in the Asia-Pacific region. The report provides a summary of discussions on issues concerning agricultural biotechnologies in the Asia-Pacific region, including investments; dissemination, adoption and use of biotechnologies and their social and economic impacts; regional innovation opportunities; regulation, policies and intellectual property rights; genetic resources for food and agriculture; nutrition; climate change and South-South Cooperation. It is also includes recommendations and possible follow-up actions for FAO and its member countries.
