The Japanese National Committee on Irrigation and Drainage (JNCID) held a workshop on Development for Water, Food, and Nutrition Security in Asia at the 3rd World Irrigation Forum in Bali, Indonesia, in September 2019. In this workshop, under the chair Hatcho (JNCID), keynote speeches were presented by representatives of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Japan, and of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) followed by an enthusiastic discussion on the theme. In this paper, I would like to introduce the workshop summary and hope it will be a reference on how to develop water, food, and nutrition security in Asia under the rapid economic development, population increase, and frequent and severe disasters such as heavy rain and drought caused by climate change.
