TEIN3 was represented at a poster session by Assoc. Prof. Bu-Sung Lee of Singaporean NREN, SingAREN, at the first International Conference on Asian Food Security (ICAFS) in Singapore from 10 to 12 August 2011.  The poster session showcased the use of the TEIN3 network by the International  Rice Research Institute (IRRI) to bring flood-resistant crops to rice farmers in South-East Asia, quickly and effectively.

ICAFS was organised jointly by the RSIS Centre for Non- Traditional Security (NTS) Studies and the Philippines-based South East Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA).  The Conference, themed 'Feeding Asia in the 21st Century: Building Urban – Rural Alliances', brought together key public, private and civil society players in food security to analyse, discuss and chart directions for the four basic dimensions of food security: availability, physical access, economic access and utilisation.
