FOOD SAFETY

Despite the previous multi-stakeholder efforts and some tangible improvements in late 2010s, food safety — a subject approachable only with the involvement of all stakeholders — has been an increasingly neglected topic in Myanmar food systems due to the lack of appetite to adhere to the central institutions. As the nation needs more local production with increased limitations for imports, food safety — once again — becomes a pressing issue to collectively solve urgently.

Mekong CREATES
Agri-food Systems Forum

Co-Creating Local Solutions for Safer, Smarter Agrifood Systems in Myanmar.

The Mekong CREATES Agrifood Systems Forum 2025 aims to provide a national platform for dialogue and knowledge exchange to advance safer, climate-resilient agrifood systems in the Greater Mekong Subregion. The forum will center around project’s focus areas, which are also the focus areas of the Mekong CONNECT and CREATES Community of Practice (CoP) — Smart Practices: Integrating climate-smart agriculture and technologies for resilience, Safe Foods: Strengthening food safety systems from farm to fork and Inclusive Models: Empowering women, youth, and smallholder food producers.
