The WorldVeg contributed to two panel discussions exploring some of the major transitions shaping food systems in Asia:

🥬𝐔𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: Moderated by our Director for Global Engagement, Delphine Larrousse, the session explored how cities, and especially Bangkok, can better integrate vegetables into urban planning to support greener, healthier, and more resilient urban environments.
