Combating obesity and overweight
The value chain that provides for healthy eating is essential in promoting and accessing an adequate diet. Producers, distributors and consumers play an important role in promoting the consumption of healthy foods, which is reflected in various initiatives that private and civil society have led in Latin American countries. This document seeks to be a tool for discussion, by presenting the results of a study in which the author reviews 10 private initiatives that were highlighted by the region's own agri-food sector unions, analyzing, systematizing and sharing good practices, gaps and lessons learned. Although the initiatives are very heterogeneous in terms of coverage, impact and budget, it is a material that allows broadening the analysis regarding the possibilities and commitment of the private agri-food sector in the transformation of healthier food environments.
