Insectes comestibles – Perspectives pour la sécurité alimentaire et l'alimentation animale
Les insectes comestibles ont toujours été au menu des hommes, mais dans quelques sociétés un certain degré de dédain et de dégoût s’oppose à leur consommation. La majorité des insectes consommés sont encore récoltés dans leurs habitats forestiers, mais il existe désormais des systèmes d’élevage dans...

New course: Linking emergency aid to food and nutrition security 15 – 26 April, 2013 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Wageningen UR-Centre for Development Innovation is organising a new course on Linking Emergency Aid to Food and Nutrition Security. The course offers participants a chance to gain insight in the inter-disciplinary and integrated nature of food and nutrition security in an emergency setting, in particular the role of stakeholders, institutions, and innovative governance/donor interventions to build resilience. In addition, it stimulates participants to consider their own role as manager, policy maker or practitioner, making use of a wide range of principles and tools, to strengthen their interventions to make the transition from emergency towards food and nutrition security.

Scaling Up Nutrition: Strengthening Institutional Capacity
U.S. leadership in the global movement to scale up nutrition has led to increased investments in U.S. health, food security, and nutrition programs.
We need to assess nutrition resources available to U.S. Government agencies, to implementing partners, and to country governments and civil society. Do they have sufficient technical capacity in nutrition to “scale up” programs? How well-equipped is the U.S. government to support country-led efforts and help sustain their momentum and progress? How can we further build our capacity?
An approach to nutrition that crosses government departments, bureaus, and offices will help strengthen U.S. programs and use our nutrition dollars as effectively as possible. Strengthened leadership and capacity helps ensure better coodination and accountability for results. Harmonized program strategy, budgets, guidance on implementation, and implementation on the ground will maximize the impact of our work on the critical problem of global malnutrition.

Hidden Hunger - From Assessment to Solutions
The University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany is organising the International Congress on Hidden Hunger, March 6-9, 2013.
The Congress has three objectives:
1.) To create awareness of the global problem Hidden Hunger.
2.) To get scientific issues on the agenda of policy makers, academicians, politicians and industry.
3.) To discuss solutions to address the worldwide micronutrient deficiencies.
Scientists from different areas, field workers, members of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and representatives from administration, management and policy will be invited to discuss the different topics for four days at the University of Hohenheim located in Stuttgart-Plieningen, Germany.
Attention will be given to Africa and Asia as well as North America and Europe. Hidden Hunger is an increasing problem even in the developed countries, whose potential negative consequences on long-term health are often overlooked and underestimated.

Thèmes:
De la croissance économique à l’amélioration de la sécurité alimentaire et de la nutrition
La croissance économique peut être un moteur puissant pour accroître la sécurité alimentaire lorsqu'elle donne lieu à une croissance agricole. Pour pouvoir réduire la pauvreté et la faim, il est indispensable que la croissance atteigne les populations pauvres et puisse satisfaire les besoins accrus de revenus pour créer une demande des actifs contrôlés par ces populations. Comme pas tous les pays ont réussi à faciliter une croissance économique inclusive, comment est-ce que la bonne gouvernance et la protection sociale peuvent aider à traduire la croissance économique en sécurité alimentaire pour tous?
