    The document describes new inter-disciplinary strategies for agricultural and rural development in Asia and the Pacific, which have been developed by the FAO regional office. It identifies sustainable strategies to make Asia’s rice-centred farmlands yield more food, incomes and livelihoods for the region’s over 3 billion people towards realising the vision of eradicating hunger and rural poverty in the Asia-Pacific rice lands over the next three decades. The publication examines the potential of the wide range of rice-based farming systems in the region to meet the food and livelihood security demands that will be made on them in the coming decades. It outlines a menu of inter-disciplinary strategies and interventions to enable the rice-based systems to live up to the challenge and the role that FAO can play in this.
