There is also a summary of the most significant legislative results achieved on (i) food security and nutrition, ii) school meals and healthy eating, and iii) family farming. This information will be of use to members of parliament and other interested parties looking to strengthen legal frameworks on food and nutrition. The general analysis is complemented by an annex containing detailed information on 15 regional and national laws that resulted from parliamentary front initiatives.
