Food Security Information Network (FSIN)

The FSIN community of practice - A global effort to strengthen information systems for food and nutrition security and promote evidence-based analysis and decision making.

In October 2012, FAO, IFPRI and WFP officially launched the Food Security Information Network (FSIN) to enable developing countries to build sustainable food and nutrition information systems.  FSIN has established a global community of practice (CoP) linking a broad range of partners to facilitate the exchange of experiences and field practices in food security and nutrition information and analysis among national, regional and other global or thematic networks;
