Why is it important?
In the face of pandemic urgency, which will probably accelerate food insecurity and increase hunger in countries with peripheral economies, while also increasing levels of obesity related to food deserts, it is essential that food systems be rearranged so that they no longer provide edible products and start providing high-quality diets.
Perspectives
Public food security policies need to be expanded to combat unequal access to healthy food. This is because inequalities are the basis of the social determinants of the nutritional profile of the Latin American population in which hunger and malnutrition coexist with obesity.
