A community that helps promote health and healthy, sustainable, equitable, and inclusive food systems in Latin America and the Caribbean
We are a network of organizations and professionals that work collaboratively to contribute to the development of healthy, sustainable and equitable food systems, as well as to improving nutrition and health in Latin America and the Caribbean through the generation of scientific knowledge and the advancement of effective public policies.
We work with governments and other organizations to create policies that promote healthy and accessible food while supporting sustainable agriculture.
We collect and share evidence with policymakers and stakeholders about effective interventions to promote healthy eating and sustainable food systems.
We provide training and support to researchers, policymakers, and civil society organizations, enabling them to collaborate in implementing effective interventions to improve food systems and dietary habits.
