SIX YEARS. HUNDREDS OF DISCUSSIONS. ONE SHARED AMBITION: TRANSFORMING AGRIFOOD SYSTEMS ACROSS THE GREATER MEKONG SUBREGION.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
As ADB\u2019s Greater Mekong Subregion Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security Program (TA-9916 SAFSP) moves toward successful completion, I would like to acknowledge the collaboration among governments, development partners, research institutes, universities, and the private sector across the GMS.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It has been a privilege to contribute to this regional initiative as Climate-Smart Agriculture Specialist.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\ud83c\udf31\"<\/span> Key message<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
Improving agricultural productivity alone is no longer enough.<\/div>\n
The next phase of regional cooperation requires a broader systems transformation \u2014 connecting climate-smart agriculture, nature-based solutions, digital MRV, traceability, natural capital accounting, climate finance, and public-private partnerships.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To support this transition, I was pleased to lead the development of two strategic knowledge products for TA-9916.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"1\ufe0f\u20e3\"<\/span> Knowledge Product 13<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
Agrifood System Transformation in the GMS, 2026\u20132030: Priorities for CSA\/NbS, Digital MRV & Traceability, Natural Capital Accounting, and Public\u2013Private Finance<\/div>\n
https:\/\/greatermekong.org\/g\/agrifood-system-transformation-gms-2026%E2%80%932030-priorities-csanbs-digital-mrv-traceability-natural<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
This publication proposes a practical roadmap for scaling climate-smart and nature-based agrifood systems across the GMS while strengthening regional public goods, cross-border cooperation, and investment readiness.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"2\ufe0f\u20e3\"<\/span> Policy Brief<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
Strengthening Water and Soil Management for a Climate-Resilient GMS<\/div>\n
https:\/\/greatermekong.org\/g\/strengthening-water-and-soil-management-climate-resilient-gms<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The brief highlights policy priorities for improving water and soil resilience, strengthening delivery systems, and creating enabling conditions for scaling CSA and NbS throughout the region.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\ud83d\udd17\"<\/span> Why this matters for the next phase<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
The 2026\u20132030 agenda will require more than isolated pilots or individual technologies.<\/div>\n
It will require:<\/div>\n
\u2022 regional public goods<\/div>\n
\u2022 interoperable digital systems<\/div>\n
\u2022 stronger public-private collaboration<\/div>\n
\u2022 investable CSA\/NbS models<\/div>\n
\u2022 evidence-based planning and financing<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I am grateful to ADB, Landell Mills, the TA-9916 team, and partners across the GMS for the collaboration and technical exchanges that shaped these outputs.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
While TA-9916 is coming to an end, the journey toward Agrifood Systems Transformation 2030 is only beginning.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I look forward to continuing to contribute to this regional agenda through research, policy dialogue, and practical approaches that help build more resilient, inclusive, and climate-smart agrifood systems across the Greater Mekong Subregion.<\/span><\/div>\n
