Measures proposed to address food security vulnerabilities exposed by COVID-19 in SE Asia

Experts stressed that COVID-19 stopped any progress made in addressing key food security challenges, like climate change and crop productivity, and exposed previously unknown vulnerabilities, while placing a serious strain on food supply chains.
