Our team has been working to facilitate capacity development by encouraging learning and improving the fact-checking and critical digital literacy skills of agri-food actors. To combat misinformation in agri-food, climate, and rural landscape, we have been creating modules to support training and coaching (using both offline and online resources) of various stakeholders, following the principles of a technology stewardship program and good practices in combating misinformation and disinformation.
Capacity Development
Capacity development counters misinformation by honing expertise in discerning truth from falsehood.
Training Workbook and Brochure
