المنتدى العالمي المعني بالأمن الغذائي والتغذية

The focused questions can be described as, how can we transform the whole food system to be more sustainable by a combination of sustainable production and sustainable.

The Organic Food System Programme (OFSP), will actively contribute to solve the focused question by using the organic food system as a model and living laboratory. The Organic Food System Programme (OFSP) will bring a shift from focus on the agricultural production system, to focus on the whole food chain from primary production until the farm gate and further on to sustainable dietary patterns, thereby linking production and consumption.

The OFSP will bring together scientists, initiatives and stakeholders on international, national, regional and local levels building enabling environments facilitating the involvement and processes to work on  the central question how to make food systems more sustainable. One of the identified work areas is “Education and training” wherein tasks are f.e.  organization of lectures, modules and courses for Universities on sustainable food systems, sustainable agriculture with focus on nutrition and diets as well as conduction of seminars in local regions for stakeholders and consumer organizations. OFSP partners represent agriculture as well as nutrition departments from Universities in Africa, America, Asia, Australia and Europe.

This results in a wide range of best practise examples of how to integrate nutrition into the curricula of agriculture education on international, national and regional level with focus on sustainable food systems.
