According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), projections show that the world is not on track to achieve zero hunger by 2030. Additionally, the majority of the indicators are also not on track to meet the global nutrition targets with a further deterioration being projected due to socio-impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic.

A solution is required to help humanitarians to get knowledge and understanding of the main concepts of food nutrition and malnutrition, food security, and how they impact livelihoods to steer the world to achieve zero hunger. This programme prepared by Humanitarian Global will assist you to develop advanced skills in this thematic area and help you take your career to the next level.
