The double burden of obesity and undernutrition has become an emerging threat to health and healthcare systems in Asia. It requires immediate action driven not only by governments and regulators, but by innovations in the food industry driven by the private sector, as well as scientists and academics, operating in the region.

The Asia Roundtable on Food Innovation for Improved Nutrition (ARoFIIN) was set up in January 2015 to leverage public-private partnerships to bring together experts from across government, academia, industry, and civil society, to initiate and sustain a regional, multi-stakeholder dialogue on the role of food innovation in tackling obesity and chronic disease. ARoFIIN is convened by the Health Promotion Board (HPB), A*STAR, Singapore Institute for Clinical Sciences (SICS) and Food Industry Asia (FIA).

ARoFIIN is made up of a group of key decision-makers who work towards fostering a conducive forum to support dissemination of science-based information on the causes and drivers of obesity and chronic disease, and improve clarity on the barriers and enablers for R&D and food innovation in the region.
