Synopsis (short abstract) Within the context of the Sustainable Development Goals Agenda 2030, the FAO Hand-in-Hand Initiative, and given that the unexpected spread of COVID-19 is having a major influence on the global food systems and impacting supply chain logistics, the FAO elearning Academy is more relevant now than ever before. Sustainability is humanity’s greatest goal and the only way forward. For this great purpose we need competent professionals, able and capable to take the appropriate decisions, formulate and implement targeted and sustainable policies and strategies, adopt innovative green methodologies and technologies. In other words, we can only reach sustainability through the development of capacities, and the transfer of skills and competencies. FAO elearning Academy offers a number of online learning and experience sharing solutions, to transfer skills and competencies, related to sustainability, benefits of short food value chains, in terms of environmental, social and economic sustainability and the promotion of local socio-economic ecosystem. In addition to universities, academic and research institutions, the FAO eLearning Academy provides courses to other organizations, including UN agencies, the European Union, the International Federation of the Red Cross, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and international development agencies to support capacity development efforts worldwide.
