The countries of the Global South often face common challenges, such as hunger, poverty, inequality, food insecurity and climate change.

Understanding the importance of this mutual contribution, the Brazilian government, through the Ministry of Development and Social Assistance, Family and Fight against Hunger (MDS in Portuguese), in partnership with the Center of Excellence against Hunger of the World Food Program in Brazil (WFP in Portuguese) and the Brazilian Cooperation Agency of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (ABC/MRE in Portuguese), invites the countries of the Global South to share experiences of innovation in public policies aimed at strengthening healthy and sustainable food systems, in practice in these territories.

A notice, launched this Thursday (26.06), whose construction was coordinated by the National Secretariat of Food and Nutritional Security (SESAN in Portuguese) of the MDS, marks the launch of the Laboratory of Innovation in Public Policies for Healthy and Sustainable Food Systems – AlimentaLAB – a joint initiative, which aims to identify and disseminate experiences, through South-South cooperation.
