The right to an adequate diet: the agriculture-food-health nexus 2012, para. 45
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- This shift can be brought about by adequate infrastructure investments-roads and transport facilities linking local food producers to urban consumers-and support for farmers' markets, but also by local sourcing of healthy foods for public institutions such as schools. In 2003, African Governments endorsed the Home Grown School Feeding component of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme, and the 2005 World Summit listed "the expansion of local school meal programmes, using home-grown foods where possible" as part of the "quick-impact initiatives" for the realization of the Millennium Development Goals. In Brazil, where the National School Feeding Program (Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar) is a major component of the Zero Hunger strategy, municipalities in charge of implementing the programme increasingly take into account the need to combat overweight and obesity in their sourcing policies. In the United States, the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act tasks the Department of Agriculture with developing nutritional guidelines for "all foods provided on each school campus" (sect. 9A (b)(2)). In 2008, WHO presented its School Policy Framework, providing useful guidance for the development of nutritional standards for school food. School gardens can also serve this objective.
