Coping Strategies (for the topic problem(s) you identified in week 3) (use a heading you feel is appropriate): Provide a brief recap of the topic problems you are seeking to solve (to provide context to this segment) and current "Positive and Negative" coping mechanisms the individuals, families and communities are using to deal with them in the current reality. Be sure to discuss how that affects the nutritional equation, food security, hunger and malnutrition. That is not easy to "cook" down into this short segment, but that is the task of a grant writer. At the same time, make note of the most prominent factors in the array of potential environmental, economic, socio-technological, and ecological factors you believe are at play. Again, don't dwell on those but mention them as they are considerations and factors that will need to be dealt with directly or indirectly if you receive funding for your grant project. And the UN decision makers for the grant will want to be sure you understand the complexity of the factors relating to the problem(s) you are seeking to resolve
