The Services and the Food System Workshop sought to build capacity across the supply chain encompassing food production, processing and delivery to meet the food needs of our people as an essential part of achieving sustainable growth, equitable development and stability in the APEC region. The services highlighted in the workshop were shown to make a valuable contribution to support and lift productivity and food safety, thereby contributing to food security. The project identified best practice and innovative policies which economies could employ to deliver the services needed to support and grow the food system.

This report provides an overview of the workshop proceedings, the key policy recommendations that resulted from the project, and other major outputs, such as the virtual toolkit.
