It is also a follow-up product from the Regional Expert Consultation on Neglected and Underutilized Crop Species (NUS) that was held under the Regional Zero Hunger Challenge Initiative b y FAO RAP in December 2016. The policy brief will feature a list of recommendations that have been jointly agreed on by national and international experts as well as FAO at the Consultation, with strategies for policy-makers on how to support FSF to address hunger and malnutrition in a changing climate through appropriate national policies. During the Consultation, 39 high-potential crops have been identified by national research partners in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh , West Bengal (India) and Vietnam based on established criteria with regard to nutrition, agro-ecology and socio-economic considerations. At the end of the brief, suggestions on the way forward under a regional project will be presented, as well as a Theory of Change towards Sustainable Food Systems including sustainable demand, supply and markets.
