The Asia Pacific region faces complex challenges in developing sustainable and ethical food systems amidst rapid urbanization and climate change, and diverse cultural influences further complicate this landscape. The Asia Pacific Society for Agricultural and Food Ethics (APSAFE) conferences in 2020 and 2023 provided a transdisciplinary platform to explore these challenges and identify opportunities for advancement. Historical contexts, such as colonialism and wars, cultural factors, religions and local customs, and recent policy changes related to food safety and environmental protection, have significantly shaped the region’s food ethics. Understanding these influences necessitates combining approaches from ethics, sociology, policy studies, and anthropology. The conferences highlighted the importance of ethical justification for food practices, the role of food in forming identity, and the potential for cross-cultural learning. Case studies showcased the diversity of challenges and opportunities, from indigenous food practices in Taiwan to immigrant herb gardens in Germany. The conferences also revealed potential tensions, such as the acceptance or reservation of advanced technologies and the evaluation of topdown versus bottom-up approaches. Collaborative networks and knowledge sharing will be crucial for advancing food ethics and sustainability in the region, with insights from the conferences serving as a valuable resource for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers.
