EVENT DETAILS: Linking Emergency Aid to Food and Nutrition Security Training
INTRODUCTION
Food insecurity and disasters are directly related; therefore, institutions dealing with food and nutrition security should be prepared for such adversities and device means to respond. Relief aid institutions also play part in maintenance of food and nutrition security in emergencies by providing relief aid.
