No results found.Dentro de 30 años se espera que la población mundial ronde los 9 700 millones de habitantes. Para abastecer a la población, se prevé que se necesitaran el doble de los alimentos que hoy se producen. Se trata, sin lugar a dudas, de la mayor demanda de recursos en la historia de nuestra especie, la que además se da en medio de una crisis climática sin precedentes. El continuo crecimiento de la sociedad y de sus actividades productivas nos ha empujado a sobrepasar varios limites ecológicos. Las consecuencias de superar esas fronteras exigen repensar las estrategias para enfrentar los desafíos globales. En ese sentido, es fundamental promover medios de vida sostenibles que aseguren el bienestar actual y futuro de la humanidad. Para enfrentar los desafíos socioeconómicos, climáticos, ambientales y sanitarios de los sistemas alimentarios se necesita un cambio transformador con un enfoque multidimensional y holístico. La agroecología ofrece un enfoque holístico y multidimensional para llevar adelante una transformación que incluya principios ecológicos (eficiencia, diversidad, sinergias, reciclaje y regulación natural), así como principios de los ámbitos social, económico y político. El mundo parlamentario tiene la oportunidad invaluable de liderar una campaña que favorezca la transición hacia un sistema alimentario y agrícola sostenible. El Parlamento Latinoamericano y Caribeño (PARLATINO), con su capacidad de construcción de Leyes Modelo, y el Frente Parlamentario contra el Hambre de América Latina y el Caribe (FPH), con su liderazgo y experiencia legislativa sobre el derecho a la alimentación y la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional, ostentan una posición inmejorable para abogar por la creación de este tipo de marcos legales en los países de la región. -
