The ASTI Regional Workshop in the Asia-Pacific, held from January 15–17, 2025, in Bangkok, Thailand, concluded successfully, setting the stage for transformative progress in agricultural research data collection across the region.
As the agency responsible for the Agricultural Sciences and Technology Indicators (ASTI), a global leading program in compiling and analyzing agricultural research data, FAO is conducting a series of workshops in selected countries where FAO and ASTI partners will start the ASTI implementation phase.
