Latin America and the Caribbean Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2018
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United NationsPublisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251316813
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 131
Book Description
Latin America and the Caribbean deviates from its path toward the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger. The number of undernourished people increased for the third consecutive year reaching 39.3 million, 6.1% of the population. The social and economic inequalities that characterize the region aggravate the problem of malnutrition. Vulnerable groups, such as the population living in poverty, children, women, indigenous peoples and rural inhabitants, tend to experience more severe problems of hunger and malnutrition. Inequality of malnutrition is also seen in gender. The problems of malnutrition in the region are the result of the profound changes that have affected its food systems, which determine the quantity, quality and diversity of food available for consumption, a transformation that has been driven by growing urbanization, changes in diets and new ways of producing and processing food. The solution to the problems of hunger and malnutrition in the region requires changes to its food systems.

Transversal and Complementary Contents for the Food, Nutrition and Gastronomy Programmes for Infant and Primary School Education. It's my pleasure
Author: Ansón Oliart, RafaelPublisher: Ministerio de Educación
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 61
Book Description
os Programas de Alimentación, Nutrición y Gastronomía para las etapas de Educación Infantil y Primaria, tienen como objetivo principal la adquisición de hábitos saludables por parte del alumnado desde la infancia para asegurar una mejor calidad de vida durante las etapas de desarrollo posteriores y afianzarlos para la edad adulta. Los contenidos transversales y complementarios a los Programas de Alimentación, Nutrición y Gastronomía para las etapas de Educación Infantil y de Educación Primaria se articulan en cuatro unidades didácticas que refuerzan los objetivos comunes perseguidos en ambas etapas educativas. Si bien, presentan un nuevo matiz: la relación directa del escolar con lo que come y el ejercicio físico que realiza. Es decir, dónde come, qué debe comer para mantener un peso adecuado a su etapa de crecimiento y desarrollo, la importancia de practicar actividad física de forma regular, así como reforzar la información sobre los alimentos, sus frecuencias de consumo o cómo alimentarse cuando se es alérgico o intolerante a alguno de ellos, potenciando, de forma conjunta, la adquisición de estilos de vida saludable. En definitiva, cómo cuidar su propio cuerpo para el presente y también para su futuro. Las cuatro unidades en las que se articula la obra incluyen contenidos transversales y complementarios para la etapa de Educación Infantil y el primer ciclo de Educación Primaria, donde descubrirán nuevas formas de observar, saborear, oler y sentir los alimentos.
Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean 2020
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251341664
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
The goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that are related to food security and nutrition will not be achieved as long as, in some territories in Latin America and the Caribbean, populations continue to live with malnutrition rates. Economic opportunities in these areas are often limited, public services are scant, and exposure to severe climate events is high. The public policies promoted in the region have had less impact in these historically lagging territories, and there is a pressing need to produce a new agenda of public instruments that address the characteristics of the communities that inhabit them. The full and sustainable development of the territories that are falling behind is not only an obligation in terms of the realization of the rights of their inhabitants; it would also allow these territories to activate their social, economic, environmental and cultural potential, to the benefit of all societies.It is hoped that the 2020 Regional Overview will help to highlight the challenges experienced by the territories with the worst indicators in terms of food and nutrition, and that it will serve to mobilize political commitment and public attention towards those areas that are most highly laggingThe year 2020 will be remembered for many decades as the year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The indicators of the 2030 Agenda that are used in this publication do not yet show the different impacts of COVID-19. However, there are references to the possible implications of the pandemic for the future.

Strengthening Food Labeling Policies in Brazil
Author: Rosires DelizaPublisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2832529747
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Data from Brazil shows an increase in obesity and non-communicable diseases, which is related to the expansion of the participation of ultra-processed food products in diets and in the food environment, displacing fresh and minimally processed foods and meals prepared with them. One of the solutions to improve food environments requires the implementation of effective and adequate food labeling regulations, including front-of-package labeling. This policy tool has the potential to inform the consumers about the nutrients, ingredients, or any other component of public health concern contained in the products and facilitate healthier food choices.
Smart Food Industry: The Blockchain for Sustainable Engineering
Author: Eduardo Jacob LopesPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1040005799
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 629
Book Description
Smart Food Industry: The Blockchain for Sustainable Engineering, Volume II - Current Status, Future Foods, and Global Issues reviews the literature and scientific frameworks to present a kind of sustainability compass. Disruptive approaches around potential sustainable foods are also widely investigated in order to be an alternative route for the industrial future. Thus, this book proposes new concepts and strategies to face future sustainability challenges that are on the horizon and can impact the next generation of foods. Divided into three parts, this book discusses the (i) status of sustainable food industry, (ii) next generation and future technology for sustainable foods, and (iii) policy, social, economic, and environmental aspects in food industries. Given the book's breadth, it provides readers with an invaluable reference resource for students, researchers, graduates, and professionals, in general, who wish to gain knowledge about the engineering and food processing area so as to achieve sustainable food production.
Sustainable Diets
Author: Barbara BurlingamePublisher: CABI
ISBN: 1786392844
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
This book takes a transdisciplinary approach and considers multisectoral actions, integrating health, agriculture, environment, economy, and socio-cultural issues, to comprehensively explore the topic of sustainable diets. Consideration is given to the multi-dimensional nature of diets and food systems, and the book explores the challenging issues connecting food security and nutrition to sustainability, culture, tradition, and a broader range of scientific topics. The first section, 'Grand Challenges' (chapters 1-9), positions sustainable diets in the multi-perspective context of food systems. Within the current international debate, it introduces some overarching wicked problems, resistant to resolution in spite of the dire consequences of inaction. The chapters cover multi-sectoral policy, public health, sustainable food systems, climate change, biodiversity loss, agro-ecology, indigenous peoples, the role of cities, and food and waste. The contributions in the second section, 'Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches' (chapters 10-17) discuss the topic of sustainable diets from different cultural, sectoral and disciplinary angles. The issues are analysed with data and methods derived from social sciences, clinical sciences and experimental sciences. Perspectives and solutions, with evidence, are presented to underpin policies and interventions. The last section, 'Moving Forward' (chapters 18-29) deals with selected innovations, initiatives, projects, case studies and programmes enhancing sustainable diets by linking nutrition to food systems.
