About Field Exchange

Field Exchange is ENN's flagship online and print publication on nutrition and food security in emergencies and high burden contexts.  

The first edition was produced in 1996 in response to a demand by international agencies for a way to capture and rapidly ‘exchange’ humanitarian programming experiences, to share relevant research and evaluations, and offer a platform for technical views.

Field Exchange enables fast track publication of programming experiences of relevance to nutrition in emergencies and high burden contexts. We include both original articles and summaries of relevant research. We welcome suggestions for articles to feature in Field Exchange at any time. 

We feature articles across sectors and from a range of contexts, from acute emergencies to fragile and conflict affected states. Periodically, we produce special issues or special sections within issues when topics arise. Previous special issues have been on adolescent nutrition, HIV programming in Southern Africa, on the Syria crisis, on nutrition-sensitive programming and most recently, on wasting and stunting (WaSt).

Field Exchange is produced three times a year in English. All editions are available online and in print format. A selection of content is available in French. We welcome submissions at any time of the year as we continuously work on content between print schedules. We can support you to write about your experiences
