E-learning methodologies and good practices – A guide for designing and delivering e-learning solutions from the FAO e-learning,. Academy
A valuable option for Dietitians and Nutritionists is the Nutrition and Food Systems: Pathways to Sustainable and Healthy Diets (free). This is a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) that was delivered in two editions between September 2021 and June 2022 in English and French. The overall objective of this course was to apply a systems-thinking approach to issues of food security and nutrition, thus contributing to a transformation of food systems towards more sustainable, equitable and healthy diets.
This MOOC is made available in order to share the content and associated resources that were specifically developed for it by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and Agreenium (Institut Agro Montpellier et Cirad), and funded by the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture and Université Virtuelle Environnement et Développement Durable (UVED).
There are many courses available under several SFS Themes (see screenshot).
