It is necessary to strengthen agri-food systems in LatAm and the Caribbean (Sitquije)

May 21, 2021


Sitquije published an article on how agrifood systems must be improved, transformed, and strengthened to create a zero-hunger world. The region plays and will continue to play a central role in terms of domestic supply and food supply to the countries of the world. In the 2021 Global Food Policy Report, Eugenio Díaz-Bonilla, head of the Latin America & Caribbean region at IFPRI, wrote that this transformation should strengthen social safety nets, nutrition programs for the population, and investment in social programs. Diaz-Bonilla pointed out that among the effects of the pandemic is the greater purchase of food and medicine in the region and the verification of the fragility in some health, food, and governance systems.
