摘要 | The concept of food security has received considerable international attention since the World Food Summit organized by FAO in 1996, and even more so after the food crisis of 2007-2008. The food crisis in Latin America had three significant effects in public policy related to food security: a) most governments in the region gave new and stronger attention to policies that attempted to protect vulnerable social sectors from the negative effects of higher food prices; b) it generated, at national and regional levels, new attention on the concept of food security and other related, but different, concepts, especially food sovereignty; and c) at national levels in a number of countries, it resulted in legislative actions that saw new laws that explicitly include the concept of food security and provide the government with more instruments for public intervention on the matter. In a few cases, the laws also create complex institutional mechanisms for social consultation and participation. This report describes and analyzes these three areas of public policy responses, traces some of the outcomes that resulted from those public interventions and makes some recommendations in relation to the need for a balanced approach that provides appropriate attention to long-term policies. Section 2 deals with the food crisis and the main policy responses. Section 3 describes the major elements of the conceptual discussion on food security, the legislative actions taken in a number of countries and identifies the main types of public interventions that focus on food insecurity and hunger alleviation. Finally, Section 4 presents some suggestions in regards to what may be the needed and/or most appropriate policies Key Points:
