The Knowledge Hub on Food and Nutrition Security (KH FNS) aims to foster transnational and multidisciplinary collaboration and networking in order to accelerate, further characterise and to manage the impact of climate change on nutritional make-up of food and to propose adaptive strategies/measures to ensure food and nutrition security.

The activities of the KH FNS should address current cross-cutting challenge:

• standardisation and harmonisation, to improve comparability and integration of data and studies;
• data handling, knowledge and data sharing, including the development of suitable methods to handle large data sets, legal and ethical issues regarding the sharing and use of data and connection of datasets across countries and different disciplines;
• addressing knowledge gaps, identifying research needs and challenges in the most upraising questions on FNS such as nutrition for sustainable and healthy diets, climate smart and environmentally sustainable food systems, circularity and resource efficiency of food systems and innovation and empowerment of communities.

The Joint Programming Initiative ‘A Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life’ (JPI HDHL), FACCE JPI and JPI OCEANS collaborate in the KH FNS. This action corresponds to the FACCE-JPI 2010-2020 - Core theme 1 - Sustainable food.
