Southeast Asia is going through accelerated agrarian transition due to a number of factors, including transnational land acquisitions, domestic investors, migrants, conservation efforts, and government policies. This affects rural livelihoods, impacting food security and social relations. This event will look at this transition through a speech on young women farmers and the commercialization of agriculture in the region, and will include a panel discussion afterward.
