Editorial: Launch of ROSA News in your inbox

This issue No. 53 of ‘ROSA News’ which arrived directly to your email inboxes focuses with the zoom article "Global action to address the climate change-agriculture-food security nexus" on the 22^nd Conference of Parties (COP22) which is taking place in Marrakech, Morocco. This issue's EC latest news section is about the Second biennial report on Implementing EU food and nutrition security policy commitments, the information note on Sanitary and phytosanitary measures: addressing the challenges as well as the Annual Action Programme Part 2: Food and Nutrition Security and Sustainable Agriculture. As with previous issues, No 53 includes past and upcoming events, as well as other new resources. To boost the exchange of experiences among network members, we have created a new section, Lessons learned, which features in this issue experiences and good practices in the application of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT).

Change of format
The ROSA News' assessment undertaken earlier this year indicated that the content was largely appreciated by readers and it will remain largely unchanged: it will feature one thematic article, EC latest news, upcoming and past events, as well as links to new, relevant information on the internet. In terms of format, there was an expressed desire for a lighter newsletter which would draw more members to use the platform. Therefore ROSA News is now an e-newsletter sent directly to your e-mail address.  The articles are posted onto ROSA as blogs - you follow the hyperlinks in the e-newsletter to find them.
