No results found.Muchos son los factores que determinan la malnutrición y la inseguridad alimentaria de la población escolar de El Salvador, como la obesidad y el sobrepeso, lo que unido al entorno alimentario escolar con tiendas donde no se venden productos saludables, mala publicidad de alimentos hipocalóricos, y una escasa o nula información de etiquetado de alimentos, provocan el aumento de enfermedades cardiovasculares y respiratorias. Aplicar y dar continuidad a políticas de protección social mediante programas que fortalezcan las capacidades y promuevan estilos de vida saludable, es de vital importancia; entre éstas las estrategias de educación alimentaria y nutricional que promueven hábitos alimentarios, ahora más saludables, en niños y adolescentes, mejorando la calidad de vida de la población escolar, sus familias y comunidades. -

No results found.El Salvador presenta diversos desafíos relacionados con la inseguridad alimentaria y nutricional, manifestada en una triple carga de malnutrición, que abarca deficiencias de micronutrientes, problemas de desnutrición crónica y aguda, así como de sobrepeso y obesidad, siendo particularmente evidente, el incremento en la prevalencia de anemia en menores de cinco años, embarazadas y mujeres en edad fértil. Estos desafíos nutricionales obstaculizan el progreso y el desarrollo económico del país, además de limitar el desarrollo físico y acarrear efectos negativos en la salud de quienes la padecen. En dicho contexto, es de suma importancia la aplicación y continuidad de políticas y programas de protección social que contribuyan al logro del derecho humano a la alimentación adecuada, siendo los programas de alimentación escolar, una oportunidad de prevención y mitigación de la problemática. Dado el aumento en la preocupación respecto a la inseguridad alimentaria y la malnutrición en El Salvador, el presente proyecto tuvo como principal propósito promocionar comportamientos alimentarios saludables y mejorar la problemática de malnutrición existente a nivel nacional. en la población escolar, personal docente, madres y padres de familia a través de acciones de Educación Alimentaria y Nutricional (EAN) a escala nacional, mediante el apoyo de diversas instituciones vinculantes. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
