Descripción
The health crisis generated by COVID 19 in LAC has highlighted the need for countries to generate and share robust evidence of effective technical assistance, of information for coordinated decision making in risk mitigation, as well as an in depth dialogue between all the parties involved This scenario caused a series of demands from LAC governments mainly through their Ministers of Agriculture, to which it has been tried to respond through this project The aim was to respond to the demands and a specific request from the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States ( by its acronym in Spanish), for the preparation of a study on the impact of COVID 19 pandemic on food security in the region, with particular emphasis on family farmers and the most vulnerable rural populations, as well as recommendations for its mitigation The recovery of the region will depend on the effectiveness of the measures with which each country confronts the COVID 19 pandemic in terms of i public health ii) social protection and stabilization iii production distribution of food and services iv) the implementation of effective communication systems, and v) the adoption of behavioural changes or pertinent behaviours by all members of society.
