However, within the set of policies used, policy makers in Southeast Asia and across the globe often turn to agriculture and, to a lesser extent, fisheries, as a central pillar in their policy mix. The two sectors’ primacy in policy responses to tackle food insecurity stems from their links to both food availability through production and its accessibility through incomes and prices. Agricultural and food markets more generally have a dual role in providing income for poor producers and supplying food to consumers.
