Food Systems Community of Practice
WHO’s Food Systems Community of Practice (COP) is a peer-to-peer online forum for global professionals working on food systems issues who share a concern and interest in safer and healthier foods and food environments, and who seek to deepen their knowledge and expertise in this area, exchange information and discuss ideas by interacting on an ongoing basis.
The COP’s goal is to expand learning potential, share diverse experiences and knowledge, encourage an understanding of new perspectives and stimulate individual and collective learning. This functional and active community of practitioners serves to streamline and expand quality technical information over time.
The Community of Practice serves to:
- share, exchange and develop knowledge and improve the practice;
- learn first-hand from experts at regular events;
- access updates on WHO resources and new publications;
- share lessons learned and knowledge based on collective reflection of its members.
How to join
By joining, you will find an active community of practitioners and experts from all over the world, receive access to regular webinars, monthly updates and resources. You will also be able to submit your resources, event announcements and other content on food systems to be shared with other members of the Community of Practice.
