    Parliamentarians are key partners in the fight against hunger and all forms of malnutrition. When adequate legislative frameworks support programs which address food and nutrition insecurity, nutrition indicators improve considerably. FAO supports parliamentarians as they promote or enact legislative and other measures to address specific issues relating to food and nutrition security; in raising awareness on the aforementioned issues, including with their constituencies; in providing a dedicated space for dialogue, discussion and exchange of views on issues relating to food security amongst themselves; and in sharing experiences with other parliamentarians and parliamentary bodies around the world. This newsletter highlights the latest legislatives advances against hunger and malnutrition worldwide.

    For the third year in a row, hunger is on the rise again and affects 821 million people in the world. In addition, one third of the global population suffers from malnutrition. Eradicating hunger and malnutrition by 2030 requires strategies, public policies, national laws and programs that guarantee the right to adequate food for everyone, contribute to reducing poverty and improve people’s diets according to each country’s specific context. This publication presents the structural causes of hunger and malnutrition and introduces FAO’s framework of action to achieve a solid political commitment and design long-term legal strategies to achieve Zero Hunger. With successful legislative examples, including constitutional amendments, school feeding laws and family agriculture programmes, the publication shows how parliamentary alliances play a key role in consolidating food and nutritional security.
