On the same occasion, the head of the National Food Administration (Bapanas), Arief Prasetyo Adi, said that research by the World Food Program (WFP) had shown that countries with higher climate vulnerabilities tended to lead to food insecurity, affecting malnourished populations.
“Indonesia is a region with moderate climate vulnerability, so awareness and anticipation are needed to reduce the potential for a food crisis. “It will take political will and collective action steps to increase production of rice, soybeans, beef and sugar consumption to meet national needs,” Arief said.
