The National Productivity Council, India, in collaboration with the APO Secretariat, organized an online workshop on Nutrient-rich Rainfed Crops from 18–20 September. The objective was to help participants understand the importance of nutrient-rich rainfed crops, provide them with the best practices and technologies for productivity improvement, and discuss strategies to mainstream these crops into food systems to help achieve the SDGs.

Twenty-two participants from 11 APO members completed the workshop, guided by four resource persons from India, Indonesia, and Thailand. At the end of the workshop, participants made presentations on their learning and possible next steps for their economies.
