Agriculture and food ministers from 21 APEC member economies convened in Incheon to advance regional cooperation on strengthening food systems amid rising climate shocks, market volatility and persistent inequalities in access to safe, nutritious and affordable food. Ministers also discussed enhancing trade facilitation measures to keep food and agricultural supply chains open, efficient and responsive to shocks. A second key priority was advancing inclusive food systems that improve nutrition and livelihoods in rural communities, particularly for women, Indigenous Peoples and smallholder farmers. Ministers explored strategies to expand digital agriculture tools, strengthen farmer cooperatives and support youth participation in the agriculture sector. It is a moment for us to collectively envision a future where all can coexist and prosper,” Minister Song concluded.
