Florianopolis Declaration We the participants of the IV UNU/IUNS Latin

American Nutrition Leadership Workshop held in Florianopolis November 2006 reviewed and discussed the food and nutrition problems facing the region, based on this analysis we declare the following

Florianopolis declaration

Thus, we propose that the following actions be taken: Strengthen integration and collaboration between Latin

American countries constructing a regional identity to address food and nutrition problems as a joint effort.

Address the existing major inequalities within and between countries in the region, focusing specially on groups that are less developed and most affected by malnutrition.

Assure that all relevant actors in the various sectors related to nutrition at the national and international level work synergistically through regional cooperation networks.
