Abstract

The project identified four key priorities to be developed in order to drive forward food systems transformation: 1) collaborating across multiple sectors; 2) broadening alliances and strengthening evidence-based approaches; 3) food governance based on human rights; 4) strengthening the regulatory role of states, and preventing corporate interference. These priorities underly the Agenda for Action developed by the Brazilian Institute for Consumer’s Defense (Instituto Brasileiro de Defesa do Consumidor/ Idec). The project aims towards an integrated evidence-based agenda for action towards healthy and sustainable food systems in Latin America that prioritize healthy affordable diets, while keeping greenhouse gases emissions within sustainable limits.
