Synopsis (short abstract) Malnutrition exists as part of the complex, widespread problem of poverty and deprivation that affects millions of people in Asia. In spite of increase in food supplies the world over, the underlying situation of most nutrition problems has not changed very much over the past 5 decades. Poverty, ignorance and disease coupled with inadequate food supplies, unhealthy environments, social stress and discrimination persist and combine to cause malnutrition. This publication uses FAO data to show tha t there is enough food available in the world, if distributed according to individual requirements, to meet the energy needs for an active, healthy life. It views the nutritional scenario of Asian countries in global perspective while also highlighting the wide diversity with the region. IT shows that available food is not equitably distributed to all within nations, communities or households.

As the articles in this issue suggest, forests contribute to food security and sustainable livelihoods in numerous ways, not only directly but also indirectly, through support to agricultural systems, their role in rural development and in maintaining environmental integrity and the provision of op-portunities for income generation and employment. Governments would do well to consider these contributions in their pursuit of food security goals, by integrating forestry with other disciplines, for example agriculture and nutrition, in policy and planning.
