FAO/INFOODS Global Database for Pulses on Dry Mater Basis
The FAO/INFOODS Global Database for Pulses on Dry Mater Basis (PulsesDM1.0) has been published on the INFOODS website http://www.fao.org/infoods/infoods/tables-and-databases/faoinfoods-databases/en/
The FAO/INFOODS Global Database for Pulses on Dry Mater Basis (PulsesDM1.0) provides nutrient values for pulses on a DRY MATTER BASIS – it is intended mainly for standard setting purposes. Pulses are a subgroup of legumes that includes dry edible seeds with low fat content. The data were recalculated to dry matter basis from the average nutrient values for 16 species published in the FAO/INFOODS Global Food Composition Database for Pulses (uPulses). In uPulses, data derived mainly from chemical analysis, were complemented by data from other published sources and compiled following standards and guidelines outlined by FAO/INFOODS. PulsesDM cover proximates, minerals, vitamins, phytate, amino acids and fatty acids fractions for foods in raw and processed forms on.

El “Conjunto de herramientas para una agricultura y sistemas alimentarios favorables a la nutrición” consta de cuatro herramientas:
- Recomendaciones fundamentales para mejorar la nutrición en la agricultura y los sistemas alimentarios.
- Diseño de inversiones agrícolas favorables a la nutrición. Lista de comprobación y directrices para la formulación de programas.
- Agricultura y sistemas alimentarios favorables a la nutrición en la práctica. Opciones de intervención.
- Compendio de indicadores para la agricultura favorable a la nutrición.
Los módulos de aprendizaje electrónico sobre agricultura y sistemas alimentarios favorables a la nutrición utilizan un enfoque basado en diversas hipótesis y en el aprendizaje experimental para ayudar a los responsables de las políticas y a los directores de programas a integrar eficazmente la nutrición en su trabajo.
Ya es posible acceder en Internet a dos módulos:
- Nutrición, seguridad alimentaria y medios de subsistencia: Conceptos básicos
- Mejorar la nutrición a través de la agricultura y los sistemas alimentarios

Online discussion on "Agroecology and Nutrition"
TECA (Technologies and practices for small agricultural producers), FAO’s free web based online information and communication platform for smallholders, has launched an online discussion on "Agroecology and Nutrition". The objective of this discussion is to identify successful agroecological farming practices which contribute to nutritious food systems.
Many successful experiences have already been documented on various platforms of FAO, e.g. TECA (during the previous discussions on “Sustainable agriculture through Agroecology” and “Agroecology and Soil Health”) and on Agroecology Knowledge hub. Based on these and other experiences, a three-week discussion will be held, inviting you to share your knowledge and experiences on agroecology and successful agroecological farming practices and approaches.
The discussion page can be accessed through the following link: http://teca.fao.org/discussion/agroecology-and-nutrition
The discussion will be available from 20 March until 12 April 2017.

Webinar: Fostering Learning and Innovation in Nutrition
The SUN Civil Society Network invites you to participate in the Learning Route follow up webinar:
Fostering Learning and Innovation in Nutrition
Date: 31st January 2017
Time: 10:15 - 12:00 (GMT)
Language: English (translation in Frengh and Spanish will be available for the Q&A sessions)
At the end of October the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Civil Society Network, in collaboration with SUN Alliance Rwanda and PROCASUR Corporation, launched the first international Learning Route exchange programme in Rwanda. This six day peer-to-peer learning exchange brought together alliances from 9 African countries to learn from innovations being used by stakeholders in Rwanda including civil society to scale up nutrition. The Learning Route focused on key areas of intervention including multi stakeholder coordination, communication for behavioural change, social mobilisation, value chains and decentralisation. As result of the LR exchange, each Alliance submitted an “Innovation Plan”.
Join the webinar to find out more about the learning and innovations developed by the Alliances.
