The first presents the context and trends that affect food security and nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean, organized into four pillars, i) Strengthen legal and institutional frameworks and macroeconomic and trade policies for the coordination and implementation of food security and nutrition plans, policies and programmes with a gender and ethnic-racial focus and human rights perspective, in particular the Right to Adequate Food; ii) Promote sustainable production, food supply and physical and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious foods for all people, especially those in more vulnerable situations, with cultural and territorial relevance; iii) Guarantee the affordability and consumption of healthy diets for the entire population, especially those in more vulnerable situations, while ensuring respect for the diversity of diets and food culture; iv) Promote sustainable and resilient agrifood systems to address climate change, protect biodiversity, efficiently use natural resources, and provide timely assistance to the population in the face of extreme climate events and natural disasters that may affect the availability of food. It also has 15 lines of action and 142 action measures proposed. The second focuses on financing and the instruments for its implementation, such as the regional platform of the CELAC for 2030.

    The CELAC Plan for Food and Nutrition Security and the Eradication of Hunger 2025. Executive Summary 2015
    Also available in:
    Latin America is the sub-region that has made the most progress, achieving both the Millennium Development Goal target to reduce the prevalence of under-nourishment from 14.4% in 1990/92 to 5.1% in 2012/14, and also the more ambitious goal of the World Food Summit (WFS) of 1996, by reducing the total number of people suffering from hunger, from 60.3 million to 29.5 million in the same period. These achievements reflect the commitment of the countries of the region to the implementation of polici es aimed at reducing poverty and inequality, within the framework of a human rights approach. Political commitment at the national and regional level for the eradication of hunger, became the basis for the implementation of institutional frameworks, governance mechanisms and public policies for food and nutrition security, which permit short and long-term interventions to be carried out (“twin-track” approach). In this regard, the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) is commi tted to ensuring Foodand Nutrition Security through a strategy of eradication of hunger and poverty in its Member States. Political will has been directed towards generating effective mechanisms to achieve this goal by the year 2025, in a region that has shown significant progress in this field, with the implementation of sectoral policies that promote the well-being of populations, increase resilience and promote best practices. This commitment, which was acquired by the countries of the region in the year 2005 through the Hunger Free Latin America and Caribbean Initiative, remains in effect as outlined in the two Declarations of the Heads of State and Government of the CELAC (2013 and 2014).
