The National Council for Food and Nutrition Security is a platform designed to bring together expertise to help shape national food security strategies and advocacy efforts.

Who it's for

This scheme is specifically intended for nutritionists who wish to engage with food security policy. It is a way for dietary professionals to move into the sphere of public policy and participate in the broader conversations regarding how food security is managed and advocated for at a national level.

What you get

What it costs you
