Description

Elaine Q Borazon and co-authors introduce in 2026 SHAPE Asia, a shared learning network that works to improve food settings in five countries. The network links Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka, where cheap, energy dense, low nutrient foods are now easy to buy.

Members span policy makers, scholars, state agencies, global bodies, media, and civic groups. The network shares lessons across borders, builds skills for advocacy, and turns research into workable policy choices that can cut both undernutrition and obesity at once. It also joins peer coalitions in other world regions that pursue the same broad goal of healthier diets for all.
