Latin America and the Caribbean is experiencing a rapid nutritional transition. More than 47 million people live with hunger, while obesity and overweight affect 60% of adults.

This reality is related to the rapid changes in its food systems experienced in recent decades, and has led us to a true nutritional crisis.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) estimates that more than 320 million people in Latin America and the Caribbean, 51% of the population, suffer from one or more forms of malnutrition.

The FAO Regional Conference for Latin America and the Caribbean, which will take place between October 19 and 21, is a great opportunity to transform food systems in order to provide healthy diets for all.
