全球粮食安全与营养论坛 (FSN论坛)

这一为期两小时的网络研讨的目的是减少围绕我们所从事工作的概念名称的误解。本网络研讨的组成部分包括对帮助人们改善膳食的不同方法的简要介绍：行为改变、社会营销、（食物和）营养教育以及健康促进。每个介绍都将对一种方法进行定义，对其基本流程加以描述，对其与其他方法的不同加以说明并列举其主要要素和原则。听众将先填写一个简短调查问卷，然后在网络研讨期间进行评论、提问、讨论和投票。他们还可以表示是否希望进一步开展讨论，对有关概念进行扩展、对其价值进行辩论，并以统筹的方式加以推进。 本网络研讨的目的并非是进行有关营养教育原则和流程的说教，而是就有关术语的含义达成基本共识，对不同方法的异同加以区分，对共同流程和价值进行识别，并由此通过构建统一概念和为进一步围绕影响和价值开展讨论打下基础的方式强化专业社群。

International Forum on Eurasian Food Security and Nutrition Network and Eurasian Soil Partnership will present the opportunity to discuss and analyze current trends in food security management in the Eurasian region; generate the discussion about best and most effective practices to promote and expand multi- and cross-sectoral collaboration on a country, regional and global level; and offer the floor for the Eurasian Soil Partnership Plenary meeting.

At this event, we are delighted to host food policy makers and policy professionals from Armenia, Republic of Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Russia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and other countries from the ECA region; members of globally-known international organizations such as IFAD and various CG centers; members from global and regional food policy think-tanks, academia, extension services and agro-business representatives from the Eurasian region.

The Forum is jointly organized by the Eurasian Center for Food Security (ECFS), FAO, the World Bank, IFPRI, and GFAR.

ECFS acts as a hub for agro-policy, agronomics, and agribusiness knowledge management, contributing to the improvement of food security in the Eurasian region. Simultaneously, ECFS in partnership with FAO Global Soil Partnership facilitates the Eurasian Soil Partnership (EASP), which is dedicated to examining soil management issues in the Eurasian region. One of the major goals of the Center and the EASP is to create a dynamic network of agricultural researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to exchange knowledge and promote effective practices in managing food insecurity in the Eurasian region.

Despite the world-wide increase of food availability, there are still around one billion people undernourished. This is far above of the target of MDG 1. There is now substantial evidence that malnutrition has life-long negative impacts on productivity and income-generating potential of the population.

If you are interested in learning about food and nutrition security, please consult our  for more information about the application procedure and costs.

Fellowships available: Deadline for fellowship application is 22 March, 2016.

Sustainable Energy Technologies for Food Utilization in Emergency Contexts

Wednesday, October 28, 2015

9AM-2PM

Location: Council on Foreign Relations

Washington, DC 

This conference is addressed to high-level experts in the field of humanitarian action, as well as of energy, food security and nutrition. The “Sustainable Energy Technologies for Food Utilization” (SET4food) is a project co-funded by COOPI-Cooperazione Internazionale, Politecnico di Milano, Fondazione Politecnico and the European Commission's Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection Department (ECHO).

The specific objective of the project is to enhance the response capacity of humanitarian actors in identifying and implementing efficient and sustainable energy technologies for food utilization. The project takes into account the combination of food utilization and energy availability in formal and informal settlements for refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs). Practical tools to improve food utilization have been developed, and in particular: i) a decision support system (DSS) to facilitate the identification of the most appropriate energy technologies for a certain context; ii) guidelines of energy technologies for food utilization. Then pilot projects in Somalia, Central African Republic, Lebanon and Haiti have been implemented, in order to test the DSS, as well as innovative solutions. Finally, a set of in-presence trainings and public events have been raising the attention and improving the response capacity of humanitarian actors.

An open access e-learning course has been developed. All the material is accessible on the project website: www.set4food.org.
