As Peru hosts this year's APEC Leaders’ Meeting, the spotlight turns to its battle against food insecurity – a challenge shared by many member economies. 🌱 The Global Hunger Index recently revealed that over 16% of Peru’s population faces malnutrition, despite the country’s rich agricultural heritage and booming culinary tourism scene.

✍️ CGTN’s Michelle Begue reports from Lima: \"From urban markets to remote Andean villages, communities are innovating. Farmers are reviving ancient crops like quinoa, while tech startups connect surplus food to soup kitchens.\" Locals call it a race against climate change and economic inequality.

APEC members are sharing strategies at the summit, focusing on sustainable farming and green supply chains. 🚜💡 Peru’s approach? A blend of AI-powered crop monitoring and grassroots partnerships with Indigenous groups.

🔍 Why young readers should care: Food security impacts everything from migration patterns to cryptocurrency investments in agritech. As one delegate told us: \"Full stomachs fuel stable economies – that’s geopolitics 101.\"
