摘要：This paper examines how Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) nations haveproceeded in addressing the issues of food insecurity and vulnerability in response tothe 1996 Rome Declaration on World Food Security. The data suggests that while thefood insecurity situation has improved in LAC over the past few years, many nationsare worse off in terms of food insecurity than they were at the beginning of the 1990s.Nations that reduced food insecurity tend to be those who have effectively reducedpoverty and have increased social spending. While some regional initiatives haveoccurred to address regional food insecurity issues, additional national andinternational policy responses are required in the Latin American Region.
