In the second part of the Asia Thinker Series (Beyond Vaccines) on 30 challenges faced in the post-COVID world, moderator Professor Benjamin Cashore, Li Ka Shing Professor in Public Management and Director of Public Policy Initiative for Environment and Sustainability (PPIES) at Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKYSPP), NUS, navigates a conversation with guest experts – Dr Thomas Panella, Director of Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture Division (East Asia Department) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Dr Máximo Torero, Chief Economist, Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations, Professor Paul Teng, Adjunct Senior Fellow, at S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS), NTU, and Assistant Professor Sreeja Nair, at LKYSPP – on the challenges and possibilities of Asia’s food and water security in the near future.
In the face of rapid climate change, a shaky global political stage and a world beset by an ongoing pandemic, the future of Asia’s food and water security for every nation in the region is increasingly pressing. Ensuring a forward resilience and sustainability now without succumbing to the one-step-forward-and-two-back dance wrought by an uneven pandemic response is crucial.

This was a really interesting read—the point about how uneven pandemic responses across Asia are creating a "one-step-forward-and-two-back" dynamic for food and water security really stuck with me. It's frustrating to think that while some regions are building resilience, others are still playing catch-up on basic infrastructure. Speaking of resilience, it reminds me of how we sometimes need to make things look worse before they get better—like how a low quality image can oddly make a point clearer in some contexts. Anyway, I'd love to see more discussion on how smaller nations in the region can coordinate better without relying on bigger powers.

This article provides a clear and insightful discussion on the growing challenges surrounding food and water security in Asia, particularly in the context of climate change, population growth, and post-pandemic recovery. It effectively highlights the interconnected nature of food systems, water resources, and sustainable development, emphasizing the need for integrated policy approaches, innovation in agriculture, and stronger regional cooperation to ensure long-term resilience and equitable access to essential resources. Applying “5.2 Explain the principles for safe moving and handling” protects both service users and healthcare staff from avoidable harm.
