The past decade has been a period of unprecedented change in Asia and the Pacific. The recovery of Asia from economic crisis, the emergence of new centres of political and economic power as well as closer regional integration, and  accelerating demands on the region's natural resources. In addition, there is an unprecedented level of interest in forest conservation and management which is further shaping the prospects for forestry in the region.

It is common knowledge that a daily glass of milk can make a big difference in improving the nutrition of children -- and at the same time has great benefits to health and education of youth.  The increased consumption of milk and other milk products by the vast populations in Asia, however, come at a high cost. Indeed, the demand for milk has grown faster than the local production. As a result, Asia is highly dependent on milk imports which may reach 400 million tonnes by 2050, unless milk production in the region is stepped up. Today we have Vinod Kumar Ahuja with us. Vinod is the livestock policy officer at the FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, based in Bangkok. We will ask Vinod the rational for dairy production and consumption.

After decades of relative stability, international food prices escalated in 2007 before dropping and then rising again, most recently in July 2012. The new environment of high and volatile food prices calls for new measures to protect the food security of the world’s poorest food consumers. Today, Asia NewsFlash is pleased to have Mr Hiroyuki Konuma, assistant director-general and FAO regional representative for Asia and the Pacific on the show. We will be asking him about the role and impact of market speculation on food prices.
