Recognising the need to pay greater attention to this issue, the RSIS Centre for Non-Traditional Security (NTS) Studies convened an Expert Working Group Meeting on Food Wastage in Southeast Asia. The meeting, held in August 2012, brought together international and regional experts from diverse sectors. This report provides an overview of the gaps in research and interventions that were identified at the meeting.
