A presentation by the UNDP International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth (IPC-IG) on the food security policy context in Brazil and its effects on poverty reduction and hunger alleviation.
The document discusses food security and food sovereignty policies in Latin America, focusing on Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, and Bolivia. It analyzes how each country addresses these issues in their constitutions and policies and whether they prioritize land titling or territorial governance. Regionally, the Andean Community has enacted decisions and frameworks to guarantee food security and food sovereignty, but they have not addressed land or territorial rights and instead focus on supporting small-scale agriculture. The conclusion is that while countries differ in their approaches, in practice both food security and food sovereignty policies have failed to challenge export-oriented models and establish strong territorial governance, meaning the promise of food sovereignty has not been fully realized.
School feeding programs are a strategy to connect health, nutrition and agriculture in emerging economies. The document discusses the evolution of approaches to school feeding programs and current debates. It provides details on the large scale of existing school feeding programs around the world. The Brazilian case is then discussed, highlighting the Zero Hunger strategy, redistributive social policies like Bolsa Familia, and support for family farmers through policies like rural credit and the definition of "family farmer" under Brazilian law.

Brazil has experienced a demographic transition with population growth rates declining from 3% in the 1950s to 1.5% today. Life expectancy has increased from 42 years in 1940 to 71 years currently, though infant mortality remains high at 30 per 1000 due to poor healthcare. Botswana has the second highest HIV rate in the world at 37.3% while Brazil has a much lower rate of 0.7% due to large investments in prevention campaigns, production of generic drugs, and mobilizing civil society. Brazil is helping countries like Botswana by producing educational media, setting up factories to produce cheaper drugs, and sharing their expertise in treating HIV/AIDS.

The document discusses the right to food as a fundamental human right recognized by the UN and in many constitutions. It defines the right to food as including food resources needed for production. Governments have obligations to respect, protect, and fulfill the right to food for those unable to feed themselves, including providing access to food and taking socioeconomic steps. Governments must also provide remedies for violations and cooperate in emergencies to prevent mass starvation. The document examines how some governments have incorporated the right to food into legislation and acknowledges related rights and monitoring bodies. It also discusses cases in India where the Supreme Court has intervened to protect the right to food.

This document summarizes food security and the right to food in Bangladesh. It discusses how food security varies regionally in Bangladesh due to factors like natural disasters, land quality, infrastructure, and poverty levels. Poverty is both a cause and effect of food insecurity. The document outlines international agreements and Bangladesh's constitution that recognize the human right to adequate food. It describes states' obligations to respect, protect, and fulfill this right. The document provides an example from India where the Supreme Court recognized the right to food in the constitution and led to new government food programs.
The document discusses food security policies in Ghana over the past decade. It defines food security as access to sufficient nutritious food. A 2009 survey found that 34%, 10%, and 15% of people in Ghana's northern regions experienced food insecurity. To address this, Ghana implemented emergency measures like input subsidies during the 2007 global food crisis. It also pursued longer-term policies including the Food and Agriculture Sector Development Policy, National Social Protection Strategy programs like LEAP and school feeding, and initiatives to boost domestic food production. However, the document concludes that more remains to be done to achieve food security goals.
- The document discusses Brazil's social protection policy and the impacts of the Bolsa Familia Program (BFP), a conditional cash transfer program, on reducing poverty and infant mortality.
- It finds that BFP significantly reduced under-5 mortality overall and from causes like malnutrition and diarrhea. This effect increased with higher BFP coverage levels and maintaining full target population coverage for 4+ years.
- Brazil's large-scale BFP combined with primary health care led to substantial reductions in childhood mortality from poverty-related causes, showing social and health programs can effectively address these issues in middle-income countries like Brazil.
This document discusses food and nutrition security in the Philippines and the government's efforts to ensure the right to food. It provides an overview of global and national hunger indicators and reviews the legal framework and a study on right to food assessment in the Philippines. The government's strategies in the Philippine Development Plan focus on raising agricultural productivity, increasing investments in food value chains, and transforming agricultural households. The plan also aims to reduce malnutrition by focusing on at-risk groups, increasing food supply and access, and strengthening coordination between agencies.
The document summarizes the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) established by the United Nations in 2000 and provides an update on progress towards achieving the goals by 2015. It discusses the eight MDGs, which included targets related to poverty reduction, education, gender equality, child and maternal health, HIV/AIDS, and environmental sustainability. While significant progress was made in areas like reducing poverty and improving access to water, not all targets were fully met by the 2015 deadline. In 2015, the UN then adopted 17 new Sustainable Development Goals to build on the momentum and lessons of the MDGs to tackle economic, social and environmental challenges through 2030.

This document discusses various concepts and definitions related to poverty. It defines absolute poverty as having income less than $2 per day, while relative poverty compares one's economic status to others in the society. Both concepts fail to consider non-income aspects of poverty. Other definitions discussed include income poverty, extreme poverty of less than $1 per day, and India's poverty lines. Causes and impacts of poverty are also outlined. Various poverty indices like the Human Poverty Index and Global Hunger Index are explained. Strategies to address hidden hunger and malnutrition are provided.
This document outlines the Dutch government's policy objectives for food and nutrition security. The goals are to:
1) Eradicate existing hunger and malnutrition.
2) Promote inclusive and sustainable growth in agriculture.
3) Create ecologically sustainable food systems.
These objectives align with the global goals of ending hunger and malnutrition, increasing food production in a sustainable way, and ensuring food systems rely on nature. The Dutch development cooperation budget allocates 600 million euros yearly across central government, embassies, and official development assistance to further food and nutrition security programs in four areas: food and nutrition, food/water/energy, climate change, and agriculture.

The document discusses food security and the public distribution system (PDS) in India. It provides background on hunger hotspots and the evolution of the PDS. Key points include: India ranks 94th on the Global Hunger Index; states like Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Bihar have very high levels of food insecurity. The PDS was revamped in 1992 and further targeted in 1997 to focus on below poverty line families. It currently provides subsidized grains to over 250 million families through fair price shops.
The document discusses poverty from multiple dimensions including lack of access to food, shelter, health services, education, clean water and sanitation facilities. It notes that poverty is not just about low income but also human deprivations. It outlines the effects of poverty on children, women, education and sanitation. It provides statistics on poverty rates in India over time and discusses the evolution of the concept of minimum living standards in India through various committees and plans. It analyzes different strategies and programs adopted by the government to directly tackle poverty and ensure minimum living standards.
The document summarizes India's National Population Policy from 2000. It discusses the objectives of addressing unmet needs for family planning and reducing fertility rates to replacement levels by 2010 to achieve population stabilization. Key points include decentralizing planning to local levels, empowering women's health and nutrition, meeting unmet family planning needs, and promoting smaller families through incentives and enforcement of acts around issues like child marriage. The National Population Commission was formed to oversee implementation and projections showed India's population growing to over 1.5 billion by 2036 with declining growth rates and increasing urbanization, life expectancy, and sex ratios.
The document outlines India's National Population Policy from 2000. It discusses the need for a population policy in India given the country's large and growing population. The objectives of the 2000 policy are to address immediate family planning and health needs, achieve replacement level fertility by 2010, and achieve population stability by 2045. The policy details strategic themes, national goals for 2010, new coordination structures, and operational strategies to implement the policy at the village level through integrated health services, expanded contraceptive access, and other initiatives.
Food security is defined as having access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food. The FAO and WHO work to address food security globally. The FAO leads international efforts against hunger and India is a founding member. The WHO works on health issues and India joined in 1948. Definitions of food security have evolved over time to include availability, accessibility, affordability, and stability. The four pillars of food security are availability, access, utilization, and stability according to the FAO. India faces issues with over 200 million undernourished people and the government has implemented programs to address food security such as PDS, MDM, and employment guarantees.
The document discusses agriculture innovation and social inclusion in Brazil. It summarizes how Brazil's Bolsa Familia program provides cash transfers to families living in poverty, helping to double the number of families covered from 2004 to 2009. It also discusses improvements in child mortality, health, and declines in fertility from health and social policies. The document outlines growth in harvested area, production, and meat industries from the 1990s to 2000s. It then discusses various agriculture innovations in Brazil around crop varieties, post-harvest processing, no-tillage farming, and their economic and social impacts.
The document proposes a policy framework called the Canadian Food Action Plan (CFAP) to create a national food policy for Canada that supports sustainable agriculture and alleviates poverty. It discusses how past Canadian food policies have failed to adequately address social and environmental issues. The CFAP was developed with input from food studies academics and organizations concerned with food security, sustainability, and poverty. It aims to establish an integrated national food policy that ensures all Canadians can afford healthy food while also promoting sustainable farming practices.

General presentation on the work FAO is doing with indigenous peoples. This work has been structured in 6 pillars, which emanate from a meeting between FAO senior management, FAO staff and indigenous peoples’ representatives in February 2015.
The document discusses shifting from a quantitative paradigm focused on reducing hunger to a micronutrient paradigm focused on ensuring adequate micronutrient intake. It notes that over 2 billion people have micronutrient deficiencies and outlines a four-part program: 1) raising awareness, 2) taxing micronutrient-poor products, 3) encouraging small, self-sufficient agricultural units, and 4) developing knowledge databases. Food-based approaches like dietary diversification, enriching staple crops and soils, and promoting indigenous food systems can help incorporate micronutrients. Case studies from Peru and Nigeria show how assessing traditional foods and raising awareness can address micronutrient needs. Financing requires investment in education, research,

Manifest of the 5th National Conference on Food and Nutrition Security to Brazilian Society regarding Real Food in the Country and the City: more Rights and Food Sovereignty
This document provides an overview of the evolution of public health in Brazil. It discusses how Brazil transitioned from a centralized social security model in the early 20th century that covered only 30% of the population, to establishing a unified public health system (SUS) in 1988 that provides universal coverage. The SUS is a decentralized system that involves community participation and focuses on primary care. It has helped reduce mortality rates and improve access to health services. However, challenges remain around equity, quality, and non-communicable diseases.
The document summarizes India's National Population Policy. It defines population policy and explains why India needs one given its rapid population growth. Key points include: India's population reached 1 billion in 2000 and may surpass China's by 2045; the population grew nearly 5 times from 238 million to 1 billion from the 20th century; stabilizing population is needed for sustainable development. The policy aims to reduce fertility rates, infant mortality, and achieve replacement-level birth rates by 2010. It outlines strategic themes, goals, and 150 interventions to address population issues through a multisectoral approach.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida.
