Abstract:

The article explores the possibilities of the nutrition-sensitive agriculture approach in the context of the programmes and actions towards promoting food and nutrition sovereignty and security in Brazil. For analysing the links between nutrition and agriculture, the paper presents the conceptual framework related to food and nutrition security, and stresses the correlations among concepts, institutional structures and programme design in Brazil. Dominant models of food production and consumption are scrutinized in the light of these relationships. The paper also highlights differences amongst distinct ways to promote a nutrition-sensitive agriculture through food-acquisition programmes from family farmers, experiences in agroecology and programmes of bio-fortification. As final remarks, the paper extracts some lessons learned from the Brazilian experience that assert the advantages of family farming and short circuits of food production, distribution and consumption in order to promote increasing access to an affordable, diversified and more nutritional adequate diet.
