The problem of food and nutrition security: a global and local challenge

Abstract

The study addresses food and nutrition security and emphasises the important role of local authorities alongside United Nations initiatives. It recognises that effective solutions must be tailored to local circumstances and the specific needs of communities. The study examines the paradox of abundance and hunger and points out that despite sufficient global food production, around 800 million people suffer from hunger and malnutrition. The greatest challenges arise from unequal access to adequate food, particularly the differences between urban and rural regions, as well as the complications arising from the decentralisation of food security policies. The study uses analytical tools such as national and international legal frameworks, guidelines from organisations such as the FAO, case studies of territorial food projects, assessments of local food policies and examples of decentralised cooperation. The results suggest that local authorities are better able to adapt global strategies to the specific characteristics of their regions and thus improve food security due to their proximity to real-life conditions. The study also emphasises the importance of the six dimensions of sustainable agriculture and nutrition: availability, access, utilisation, stability, capacity and sustainability. In summary, a territorial approach that emphasises adaptation to local conditions and the involvement of local actors is an effective means of formulating a more inclusive and effective food and nutrition security policy. The research argues in favour of strengthening social protection systems, supporting smallholder farmers, promoting social justice and encouraging sustainable agricultural practises.
