Food and Nutritional Security Statistics

Juana A. Justiniano Rojas, a Bachelor of Nutrition student at Atlantic International University, presents a comprehensive analysis of food and nutritional security in Latin America and the Caribbean. The report emphasizes the dual challenge of hunger and rising obesity rates, calling for collaborative efforts among governments, civil society, and the private sector to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger. It outlines the importance of sustainable food systems and effective social protection policies to combat malnutrition and improve health outcomes for vulnerable populations, particularly children. The findings underscore the need for immediate action to ensure food security and promote healthy diets across the region.
