Communities of Practice
Netherlands Food Partnership organises communities of practice to exchange Dutch knowledge and expertise. Food and nutrition security professionals from policy, research and practice come together to exchange ideas on several topics related to food systems transformation.
Current Communities of Practice

E-course | Food Systems
These E-courses are organised as a recurring collaboration with Wageningen Centre for Development Innovation. Each edition of the E-course has welcomed 500+ agriculture and food professionals from around the world. Their interest is deepening their understanding of the food systems approach and applying this in their work. The e-course is a mentored online course of 4 weekly modules and includes self-paced learning blocks, plenary sessions and optional group work.
Webinar Series | Putting Food Systems Thinking Into Sector Practice
As part of the work that Wageningen University & Research (WUR) and Netherlands Food Partnership (NFP) are delivering to drive the SDG2 agenda forward, we’ll be facilitating a ‘Putting Food Systems Thinking into Sector Practice’ six-part webinar series for agrifood practitioners, who are actively interested in taking action towards achieving concrete positive food systems results.
Digital Agrifood Collective
We are a collective of organisations that exchange learnings and align strategies to remove barriers that stand between newly developed digital services and the thousands of agribusinesses and millions of low-income producers (and consumers) that could benefit from these. By removing barriers together, we aim to accelerate the digital transformation of agrifood value chains across Sub Saharan Africa and Southern Asia and make this transformation inclusive for all.
Food security and stability
World hunger is rising again after years of increasing global food security, concentrated mainly in countries affected by conflict and fragility. The promotion of food system-based livelihoods and economic activity is a crucial piece of the puzzle for moving towards greater stability. This Community of Practice sets out to explore how food security interventions can help work towards more resilient households, communities and food systems.
Food systems approach
Netherlands Food Partnership jointly organises communities of practice on the food systems approach to exchange Dutch knowledge and expertise. Food and nutrition security professionals from policy, research and practice come together to exchange ideas on several topics related to the food systems approach.Previous Communities of Practice
