An excellent initiative. Please note that FAO is inviting abstracts from around the World that document evidence that expanding and diversifying food supplies and promoting better care and feeding practices can make a difference in dietary intakes and nutritional status. Successful papers will be presneted at the International Symposium on Food and Nutrition Security: Food-Based Approaches for Improving Diets and Raising Levels of Nutrition FAO, Rome, 7-9 December 2010.
