Sometimes, to transform an entire food system we have to start small. Across Asia and the Pacific, slight changes in food and farming habits are bringing vital nutritional improvements to entire communities. 

On this episode, we head to Cambodia to learn more. Experts from across the region recently gathered here at an IFAD workshop on nutrition-sensitive agriculture, discussing common challenges and sharing best practices. From Papua New Guinea to Pakistan, hear their diverse perspectives as they figure out how to make the region’s food systems work for everyone. Featuring Maryam Barodawala, Fathimath Fazuna, Elizabeth Ngolo, Boreth Sun, Kapila Rasnayaka, and Dr. Muhammad Ahsan Riaz.
