An e-course on Food and Nutrition Security, for policy officers at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, other ministries, NGOs, partner organizations and for professionals working in the field of Food and Nutrition Security or International Cooperation. A great opportunity to meet and discuss with peers from various countries to expand your knowledge and perspective on Food & Nutrition Security!

The need to feed 9 billion people by 2050 and sustainably eradicate hunger and undernourishment are two of the main challenges that the world is facing today.  These challenges cannot be treated in isolation but are closely related with poverty, climate change and depletion of natural capital. Food and nutrition insecurity is a multidimensional issue that will only be resolved if growth, distribution and sustainability are tackled in unison. In order to contribute to the global challenges of food security, the Dutch government cooperates on a national and international level with other governments, private sector, NGO’s and knowledge institutions.
