Synopsis (short abstract) In Latin America and the Caribbean, access to food and nutritional security, the poverty situation, and the capacity to respond to climate change are strongly related to gender, ethnic-racial origin, age group, and territory differences. A situation that demands observing the intertwined nature of these inequalities and proposing new ways to achieve sustainable development, leaving no one behind. This challenge prompted the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to develop a guide that facilitates the development of programmes and projects with an intersectional approach. The objective of the tool is to give rise to innovative and sensitive work methodologies that allow the identification of inequalities and the development of socio-territorially relevant and systemic solutions, aimed to eliminate the knots of inequality. Contributing in this way to the effective implementation of FAO's policies on gender equality and on indigenous and tribal peoples.

The first presents the context and trends that affect food security and nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean, organized into four pillars, i) Strengthen legal and institutional frameworks and macroeconomic and trade policies for the coordination and implementation of food security and nutrition plans, policies and programmes with a gender and ethnic-racial focus and human rights perspective, in particular the Right to Adequate Food; ii) Promote sustainable production, food supply and physical and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious foods for all people, especially those in more vulnerable situations, with cultural and territorial relevance; iii) Guarantee the affordability and consumption of healthy diets for the entire population, especially those in more vulnerable situations, while ensuring respect for the diversity of diets and food culture; iv) Promote sustainable and resilient agrifood systems to address climate change, protect biodiversity, efficiently use natural resources, and provide timely assistance to the population in the face of extreme climate events and natural disasters that may affect the availability of food. It also has 15 lines of action and 142 action measures proposed. The second focuses on financing and the instruments for its implementation, such as the regional platform of the CELAC for 2030.
