The FAO e-learning courses cover a wealth of topics in the areas of food and nutrition security, social and economic development and sustainable management of natural resources.

All our courses are designed for self-paced learning, and offered free of charge.

Climate change is causing unprecedented damage to our ecosystem. Increasing temperatures, ocean warming and acidification, severe droughts, wildfires, altered precipitation patterns, melting glaciers, rising sea levels and amplification of extreme weather events have direct implications for our food systems. While the impacts of such environmental factors on food security are well known, the effects on food safety receive less attention.
