Knowledge is only effective when it is shared and made available to the broadest possible range of people. This is especially true when aiming at effectively combating worldwide hunger and malnutrition which multidimensional causes require being always well informed on a wide range variety of subjects and trends and to be able to join the international discourse. With this in mind the Global Forum on Food Security and Nutrition was launched in 2007 to bring together academics, researcher and development practitioners for facilitated online discussion and knowledge sharing. This publication aims at exploring the Forum’s activities, to provide a taste of what is happening within the Forum and, most importantly, of what can happen beyond it.
