Grow Asia was established in 2015 by the World Economic Forum, in collaboration with the ASEANSecretariat, in response to the urgent need for collaborative, market-based action to transformSoutheast Asia’s food system into one that is more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable.Grow Asia does this by convening global and regional public, private and civil society organizationsaround macro-level issues (e.g., agri-food innovation, responsible agricultural investing, women’seconomic empowerment, and climate adaptation and resilience) to broker both commercial and non-profit partnerships, share best practice, and create an ecosystem that supports pre-competitivedialogue, collaboration, and policy change.
