The Food Security Academy: A Replicable and Sustainable Food Security Training Program for Community Development
Creating or modifying a sustainable food security program is greatly simplified using a proven and replicable template.
Seeds for a Future is excited to announce that it will soon provide the training methods and practices for replicating its flexible food security program worldwide.
What is the Food Security Academy?
The Food Security Academy consists of the training videos and documents for replicating Seeds for a Future's sustainable food security and health Program in a reliable and scalable fashion.
Since 2009, our Program's approach has been low-cost and led by local community members.
Because of the Program's flexible nature, it can be replicated in rural communities across the globe, without costly infrastructure spending.
Over the years, all aspects of our food security training program have been well-documented, allowing a transfer of its methods and practices to communities and organizations interested in increasing local food security, decreasing chronic illness and disease, and creating new income opportunities.
The Food Security Academy is scheduled to be released online in the third quarter of 2025.
