المنتدى العالمي المعني بالأمن الغذائي والتغذية

تهدف الحلقة الدراسية الشبكية، التي تستمر لمدة ساعتين، إلى تصحيح الفكرة الخاطئة المنتشرة على مستوى العالم حول ما نسميه "العمل الذي نقوم به". سوف تتألف هذه الحلقة من عروض تقديمية قصيرة حول النُهج المختلفة لمساعدة البشر على تناول الطعام بشكل أفضل، ومن بين هذه العروض: تغير السلوك والتسويق الاجتماعي والتثقيف التغذوي (والغذائي) والإرشاد الصحي. في كل عرض من هذه العروض سيتم تعريف نهج واحد من النُهج السابقة ووصف عملياته الأساسية ومقارنته ببقية النهج وتدوين عناصره ومبادئه الأساسية. سيقوم المشاركون في الحلقة أولا باستكمال مسح صغير، ثم التعليق وطرح الأسئلة والنقاش والتصويت أثناء الحلقة. كذلك، سيعربون عن رغبتهم في إجراء المزيد من المناقشات لتوضيح المفاهيم بتوسع، إلى جانب مناقشة ما لديهم من قيم والتقدم خطوة للأمام نحو تصميم نموذج متكامل. لا يكمن هدف الحلقة في إرشاد العالم وتعليمه مبادئ التثقيف التغذوي وعملياته، بل في الاتفاق على الخطوط العريضة لما تعنيه المصطلحات والتمييز بين النُهج وتحديد القيم والعمليات المشتركة، وبالتالي تعزيز المجتمع المهني عن طريق بناء مفاهيم مشتركة وتوضيح السبب الأساسي لإجراء المزيد من المناقشات حول الأثر والقيمة

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.
