This paper builds upon the assessment of the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) agriculture sector performance in the 2012 Annual Evaluation Review. First, it reviews the recent developments in world food markets, and the responses of Asian governments and the international community to high food prices, and analyzes the impacts and prognosis for the region. It then examines the big challenges for Asia in ensuring sustainable food security and inclusive rural growth. Finally, it considers how ADB can most effectively respond to the challenges based on the region’s needs and the evaluation track record of ADB operations in agriculture, food security, and rural development.
