The Asia-Pacific Information Platform on Food Security (APIP on Food Security) is a system for sharing information on food security online. It was developed based on the APEC Action Plan on Food Security agreed to at the APEC Ministerial Meeting on Food Security, in Niigata, Japan, 2010. Since its launch in 2012 as an independent website under the management of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fishery of Japan, APIP website has played a key role of sharing information on Food Security in Asia-Pacific Region.
