Your team has been asked to work with one na tional government in Southeast Asia to inform the development of a five-ye ar strategic plan to address food insecurity through a food systems approa ch. Previous attempts to address food insecurity have used a siloed way of thinking that failed to take into consideration the complex\, interconnec ted issues and different dimensions of food insecurity. This nation’s go vernment aims to collaborate with many stakeholders on the design of new p olicies and programs. However\, convening and collecting data from many st akeholders can be very resource-intensive. Therefore\, this government wan ts to employ the power of artificial intelligence (AI) but acknowledges th e limitations of AI\, including the shortcomings of the data currently ava ilable. In this challenge\, your team is tasked with conducting a detailed analysis and critique of the existing data available on one dimension of food insecurity in one Southeast Asian nation\, as well as a plan to colle ct new\, more inclusive data.\n\nDownload Challenge of the Year 2025 Docum ent\nDownload Instructions\n\n \;\nFinalists\nThis year\, 110 teams fr om 13 economies across the Asia-Pacific region have registered.
