Unlocking The Challenges To Food Security

In the next decade, as the world population hurtles towards 8 billion, one of the main challenges lies in ensuring that every single person has access to food. But it’s not as straightforward as doubling up food production because there is also the challenge of maintaining our natural resources and minimising environmental impact. We speak to Dr Anni Mitin, Executive Director of the South East Asian Council on Food Security and Fair Trade on how Malaysia can achieve sustainable agricultural practices in the race for food security.
