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.

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.

An Ethnography of Global Landscapes and Corridors
Author: Loshini NaidooPublisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 9535102540
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
The chapters presented in this book draw on ethnography as a methodology in a variety of disciplines, including education, management, design, marketing, ecology and scientific contexts, illustrating the value of a qualitative approach to research design. The chapters discuss the use of traditional ethnographic methods, such as immersion, observation and interview, as well as innovative ethnographical methods which have been influenced by the new digital culture. The latter challenges notions of identity, field and traditional culture such that people are able to represent themselves in the research process rather than be represented. New approaches to ethnography also examine the use and implication of images in representation as well as critically examining the role and impact of the researcher in the process.
La ley chilena de etiquetado de alimentos/The Chilean food labelling law

Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
An adequate nutrition provides us with the necessary energy for the appropriate functioning and care of our body, and is the first defence against diseases. However, many people today still do not have access to food, do not eat enough or do not eat poorly. Nutrition problems (malnutrition, obesity, etc.) encompass inappropriate choices and practices that can be addressed through effective public policies. In this context, parliamentary alliances such as the Parliamentary Front against Hunger in Latin America and the Caribbean, and specialized agencies such as FAO, play a key role in educating consumers and preventing diseases. During an event on the role of parliamentarians in improving global nutrition, on 14 June 2018 at FAO headquarters, Senator Guido Girardi Lavin presented the Chilean initiative aimed at fighting against unhealthy foods. Also participating at the event were Jesús Manuel Gracia Aldaz, former Ambassador of Spain to the Italian State, and Anna Lartey, Director of FAO’s Nutrition and Food Systems Division. This publication is a collection of the speeches that took place on this occasion.

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.
