Descripción
The concept of ‘resilience’ and its practical application in food security and nutrition, both in policy formulation and implementation, has recently become a topical issue among the humanitarian and development communities. This issue has taken on importance as nutrition has received greater attention as illustrated by the growing number of countries and partners that are responding to the UN Secretary General’s Zero Hunger Challenge and joining the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) movement. This bri ef summarizes the thinking on nutrition and resilience from a food and agriculture perspective and discusses the linkages between the two agendas from a conceptual, strategic and operational point of view. A full paper on nutrition and resilience developed by FAO focuses on food and agriculture but some of the concepts and recommendations may be applicable to other sectors.
