The ASEAN Member States (AMS), recognizing the crucial role of agriculture in regional development and its contribution to achieving sustainable economic growth, poverty eradication, food security, mitigating climate change impacts, and environmental sustainability, have put forward the Action Plan on Sustainable Agriculture in ASEAN. The plan was developed through a holistic and integrated approach that balances social, economic, and environmental needs to transform ASEAN agriculture toward carrying out its vital role in the region’s development for generations to come.

The Action Plan on Sustainable Agriculture in ASEAN will serve as a roadmap for enhancing cooperation, coordination, and knowledge sharing on sustainable agricultural transformation in the ASEAN region. It advocates the development of high-impact pilot projects for the key priority areas for sustainable agriculture in the region and places high consideration on funding investments and technical resources, monitoring of progress and adaptive planning, and the continuous engagement of stakeholders from both private and public sectors to foster collective action and support.
