Webinar: Exploring the bioenergy-nutrition nexus

This webinar represents a joint effort between GBEP and FAO to explore the nexus between bioenergy and nutrition, and present opportunities where this nexus could be leveraged by both nutrition and bioenergy communities to improve nutrition security. The webinar will present a recent literature review that aimed to identify the various positive interlinkages between bioenergy and nutrition that have been explored in existing research, especially implications on food and nutrition security, and the impacts on agricultural land and soil quality, which could influence nutrient contents of food, and other aspects of health related to nutrition. An example of these concepts in action across bioenergy value chains is provided by a case study of small-scale gasification.

This webinar features interventions by Maria Michela Morese (GBEP Executive Secretary), Patrizia Fracassi (Senior Nutrition and Food Systems Officer, FAO), Constance Miller (FAO/GBEP), and Tiziana Pirelli (FAO/Agriculture and Environment Research Center – CREA, Italy).
