The book “Governance of food and nutrition security: Factors for viability and sustainability. Case studies from seven Latin American countries” seeks to provide an analytical description of the different governance schemes chosen by certain countries in the region, in order to organize the actors involved in the decision-making regarding the issues affecting food insecurity.

The book is expected to contribute to the improvement of forums for cooperation and public policy agreements, with the understanding that the purpose of governance is not to simply establish a space for agreement, but rather to establish rules of social harmony in order to attain an objective. In this case, the objective of overcoming hunger and malnutrition is vital for the development of the countries.
