JAKARTA, 30 April 2025– The ASEAN Secretariat proudly announces the release of The ASEAN Magazine Issue No. 43: A Harvest of Plenty: Safe, Nourishing Food for All. This edition focuses on ASEAN’s shared commitment to ensuring food security, food safety, and nutrition across the region.
This edition features extensive discussions on ASEAN’s integrated approach, drawing on the expertise of those working across health, agriculture, and economic sectors, and reflects efforts to strengthen the region’s food systems through closer coordination and cooperation.
The magazine explores how regional dialogue is laying the groundwork for its implementation, as Member States move closer to ratifying the ASEAN Food Safety Regulatory Framework Agreement. This edition also explores ASEAN’s work on risk assessment and emergency response, as well as regional strategies to end malnutrition, promote sustainable agriculture, and address illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing.
The issue also reflects on the significance of food beyond its practical role—how it connects, heals, and shapes the cultural fabric of ASEAN communities.
The ASEAN Magazine Issue No. 43 can be accessed and downloaded via https://asean.org/serial/a-harvest-of-plenty-safe-nourishing-food-for-all/ or on the official magazine website: https://theaseanmagazine.asean.org
