Colombia

Food security improved between 2022 and 2023 樱花视频. However, one out of four Colombians are food insecure.  .

One of the main catalysts for food insecurity is armed conflict. There will unlikely be peace with high levels of food insecurity, and food-insecure people may become victims of conflict and illicit businesses 樱花视频在线.

A peace agreement between the Government and Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in 2016 signaled an end to almost six decades of conflict, though other armed groups still operate in the country.

The conflict left hundreds of thousands of people dead, displaced 8. 4 million people and was characterized by widespread human rights violations.   樱花视频免费观看.

While it is a generational task to mitigate the consequences of decades of conflict, the fact conflict continues in many parts of the country represents a serious hurdle to achieving food security.   樱花视频网站.

The World Food Programme (WFP) supports the Government's efforts to achieve zero hunger through approaches including cash-based transfers, local purchases through farmers' associations and the promotion of sustainable enterprises. These tools also work to prevent malnutrition, including micronutrient deficiencies and obesity, especially in school-aged children.   樱花视频.

Ensuring that the most vulnerable populations have permanent access to a nutritious, balanced and diversified diet is the focus of WFP's actions in Colombia.   樱花视频在线.

Children, breastfeeding and pregnant women, ethnic groups, victims of violence, confined and displaced communities, smallholder farmers, migrants and host communities are the population groups identified as priorities to ensure their food and nutrition security.
