Red ICEAN and the FSN forum
■ Red ICEAN is a regional space for discussion, but lacks tools and media for
interaction
■ Test-run
■ Obtain quality, original feedback from the countries and regional initiatives
+ discussion on “hot topics”
■ 2 forums: July 2015 and June 2015
– Nutrition education as a strategy to strengthen family farming
households and improve people's diets
– What are Latin American countries doing to tackle the double burden
of malnutrition effectively?
■ Visibility to both networks
Red ICEAN and the FSN forum
■ Build on existing forums and complement each other, rather than
creating small-scale spaces
■ Involve other regions: sharing and comparing
■ Concept note: careful selection of topics (relevant, not very specific):
what can be useful and what is of interest
■ Webinars as background + continual training
■ Follow up + evaluation

EDUCATION
A quick note on food and nutrition
education
■FNE has been recognized as a main determinant of success in
FS and nutrition interventions.
■It is mentioned in many frameworks as a key intervention for
improving and promoting healthy diets (ICN2, CELAC,
NOURISHING, etc.)
■Aims at long-term improvements of dietary practices.
■What is it? "Any combination of educational strategies,
accompanied by environmental supports, designed to
facilitate the voluntary adoption of food choices and other
food- and nutrition-related behaviours conducive to health
and well-being; nutrition education is delivered through
multiple venues and involves activities at the individual,
community, and policy levels”. (Contento 2007)
