ASEAN Guidelines and Action Plan on Responsible Investment in Food, Agriculture and Forestry: Workshop on Operationalizing the Action Plan

This report summarizes a July 2019 workshop in Bangkok regarding the operationalization of the ASEAN Guidelines and Action Plan on Responsible Investment in Food, Agriculture and Forestry. Adopted in October 2018 and based on CFS-FAI principles, these voluntary guidelines aim to promote sustainable investment across ASEAN member states.

• The ASEAN Guidelines for Responsible Investment in Food, Agriculture and Forestry were adopted in October 2018 by the agriculture and forestry ministers of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member states. These voluntary guidelines are based on the Committee on World Food Security's Principles for Responsible Agriculture and Food Systems (CFS-FAI) and aim to address the specific needs of the region to promote sustainability-driven investments in food, agriculture, and forestry.
• A workshop held in July 2019 in Bangkok, Thailand, focused on the lessons learned and next steps for operationalizing the ASEAN Guidelines and Action Plan. The event was co-hosted by Grow Asia, the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in collaboration with the ASEAN Secretariat, and received funding from the Federal Ministry for Food and Agriculture of Germany and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).
