Short Name:We are a global network of professionals working on issues pertaining to the intersection of agriculture and nutrition. The group is informal, and designed to facilitate information sharing and networking. This Community of Practice arose in June 2010 when a number of DC-based professionals discovered that all were asked to write policy briefs on how to link agriculture and nutrition. The group formed to support knowledge-sharing and harmonization of guidance to these varied institutions. The main activities are a monthly, thematic conference call with a topic proposed by a group member, and an announcement-only email list. The CoP is hosted by the UNSCN and has a coordinator. Emily Levitt Ruppert (levittej-at-gmail.com, Sr. Policy Advisor for Maternal & Child Nutrition at World Vision International) currently functions as the group coordinator. Please send recommendations for improvements to the group or themes for monthly calls to this email. The outcomes of the group evolve with the needs of the members. We aim for this to be a useful place for sharing resources to build a common evidence pool. Note, the email list is not a discussion forum. Members are requested to send announcements/ informational messages. Conversations ideally occur via conference calls. Thank you for your cooperation!

Short Name:The Committee on World Food Security (CFS) has launched an online consultation on the Global Strategic Framework for Food Security and Nutrition through the Global Forum on Food Security and Nutrition. The UNSCN, in close collaboration with the CFS and the FNS Forum is conducting a complementary nutrition-focused discussion on the GSF. It is an opportunity for the nutrition community to participate in this global policy debate and make sure nutrition challenges and solutions are well considered and included in the GSF. Particularly important to the UNSCN is to make sure that specific nutrition interventions as well as nutrition-sensitive development actions are considered. Contributions are welcome in English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Arabic, Russian and Chinese. The nutrition focused GSF consultation is open until the 1st of October 2011. Your contributions will be consolidated and forwarded to the main CFS consultation as the collective and common voice of the nutrition community. For more details please visit the UNSCN website.
