FAO makes proposals to the Andean Parliament (PARLANDINO) on its Regulatory Framework for Food Security
The FAO Development Law Service (LEGN) appears before the Andean Parliament (PARLANDINO) to present FAO’s views on a revised “Regulatory Framework for Food Security with Nutritional Quality and Respect for the Food Sovereignty Policies of the Member States”.
On 23 April 2025, LEGN appeared before the Special Commission on the Fight against Hunger of the Andean Parliament (PARLANDINO) to present its technical and legal comments on a revised “Regulatory Framework for Food Security with Nutritional Quality and Respect for the Food Sovereignty Policies of the Member States of the Andean Parliament”.
The comments, which were delivered by FAO’s Legal Officer Manuela Cuvi, aimed at updating the proposed framework, aligning it more closely with international standards and regional priorities. In particular, FAO suggested to clarify some definitions, including those regarding healthy diets and malnutrition, and to strengthen the provisions dealing with the right to adequate food and gender mainstreaming.
The Special Commission is part of the Parliamentary Front against Hunger in Latin America and the Caribbean, a regional network present in nearly 30 national and subregional parliaments. The network is supported by FAO, in strategic alliance with the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) and the Mexican Agency for International Development Cooperation (AMEXCID), through the Mesoamerica Hunger Free AMEXCID–FAO programme.
