Here is the information about the upcoming GODAN webinar: 

CONTEXT: 

Currently, nearly 800 million people struggle with debilitating hunger and malnutrition and can be found in every corner of the globe. That’s one in every nine people, with the majority being women and children... 

The Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN) supports the proactive sharing of open data to make information about agriculture and nutrition available, accessible and usable to deal with the urgent challenge of ensuring world food security.

A core principle behind GODAN is that a solution to Zero Hunger (Sustanaible Development Goal 2) lies within existing, but often unavailable, agriculture and nutrition data.

At the GODAN Summit in September 2016, GODAN launched a new WG on CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT. 

This first GODAN webinar  will give an overview of  the activities of the WG and explain how you can get involved. 

GODAN welcomes:

• all interested in joining the GODAN WG on Capacity Development and contributing to education and training on Open Data in food and agricultural sciences. This is open and free to all interested. Join at https://dgroups.org/fao/godan_cd;
• your inputs and suggestions to the Action Plan on Capacity Development.
