29/08/2022 | Rédaction Conapac - Connect
Location: Santiago de Chile, Chile
Food security and nutrition are an important part of the rural development agenda in developing countries. Addressing this issue adequately requires an intersectoral approach from agriculture, health, and education, with coherent policies at the national level and with territorial relevance. In this context, extension services can play a critical role in promoting nutrition-sensitive agriculture and interacting with health and education services.
The 13th GFRAS Annual Meeting will be held between 25 and 27 October 2022 in Santiago, Chile, hosted by the Red Latinoamericana de Extension Rural (RELASER), 13th GAM will take place between 24 and 28 October 2022 in Santiago, Chile. The topic of this year’s meeting is “Nutrition- Sensitive Extension” and the event will offer, as always, keynote addresses, group discussions, field trips, and create many possibilities to discuss and plan the implementation of needed changes in our food systems. Participants will also be offered the possibility to join remotely.
Rich discussions and fruitful exchanges with the entire GFRAS network await you in Chile! Join us to:
