Commitment description

In the short term, Food and Nutrition Insecurity (FNI) measurements are expected to reflect a gradual reduction in the number of families in FNI. To target the interventions, the mapping of the population groups, most vulnerable to suffer FNI due to poverty or low income, which limits their access to healthy and varied foods, will be established.

In this framework, the "Social Plan, 2019-2024" will be implemented, which prioritizes FNS among its axes, recognizing the socioeconomic and environmental factors that influence the health and nutritional status of the population, whose approach must be approached from an inter-institutional perspective. In this regard, the general guidelines are established from which sectoral proposals derive to address the food problem from different angles; with which it is expected to achieve a gradual reduction in the percentage of families in FNI.

This is also considering emergency situations, generated by climate change and short term events, in order to prevent FNI in vulnerable families.
