The agreement provides for the creation of new training modules, the exchange of teaching material and internships for students. \u201cThis agreement is a first but important step on the road of further structured forms of cooperation between Italian universities and the FAO, in order to work together on the new international development agenda,\u201d said Ambassador Pierfrancesco Sacco, Italy\u2019s permanent representatives to the UN agencies based in Rome. Roma Tre University\u2019s two post-graduate English-language programmes, \u201cHuman Development and Food Security\u201d and \u201cCooperatives: Economics, Law and Management\u201d, will include specific teaching modules on topics like family farms, nutrition, microcredit, cooperative, gender-linked issues, responsible investments in agriculture, statistic surveys and guidelines for the voluntary responsible use of land, fish and forest resources. On its part, FAO will support the project by providing teaching material, access to online training courses, technical support by its expects and the possibility of internships within the Organisation. Rector Mario Panizza expressed his conviction: \u201cUniversities must be the driver of sustainable development and progress. This partnership will contribute to forming a new generation of informed and educated students and citizens ready to tackle the challenge of sustainable development and hunger in the world, which is now especially generated by an unbalance in the resource distribution chain.\u201d The new partnership will enable students to come into contact and get acquainted with the founding elements of FAO\u2019s mandate in favour of a world free of hunger and of sustainable development, while simultaneously improving their technical and professional skills. \u201cThis renewed cooperation adds value to the work of FAO and of the Roma Tre University, by leveraging FAO\u2019s long-standing experience on the field and also in training courses. This will help form the future experts and policy-makers graduating from Roma Tre University,\u201d said Daniel Gustafson, the Deputy Director-General of FAO, at the signing ceremony.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Roma Tre University and FAO have strengthened their cooperation on the issue of food security, nutrition and sustainable development.
