The renewal of the National Conference on Food and Nutritional Security has a special meaning for more than one thousand participants: the strength of civil society. Representatives from all over the country will hold, in Brasilia, until next July (14.12), the 6th edition of the meeting. This March (12), during the official inauguration, three new decrees signed by President Lula were presented that conform the strategy to promote food and nutritional security in Brazil.

The texts were published in an extra edition of the Official Gazette of the Union and addressed adequate and healthy nutrition at school and in cities. One of them also establishes the National Food Supply Policy (PNAAB) and foresees the elaboration of the National Food Supply Plan. For the holder of the Ministry of Development and Social Assistance, Family and Fight against the Hambre, Wellington Dias, the decrees guarantee “healthy food conditions in all regions of Brazil and, also, the supply and regulation, which allows this solidity”.
