Diagnóstico de la seguridad alimentaria del municipio de San Vicente de Chucurí (Santander).

Abstract

In Colombia, more than three decades ago, a process of design and implementation of strategies in the framework of food and nutrition began. However, in the country there were no direct managers who took over the issue of food and nutrition security. For this reason, the need to build the national food and nutrition security policy was evidenced, which was approved as CONPES document 113 on March 31, 2008. This document identifies problems at the level of information relevant to food security. The present work presents the diagnosis of food security in the axes of food availability, access and consumption in the municipality of San Vicente de Chucurí (Santander). For this, a descriptive, non-experimental and cross-sectional study was carried out. The result that was obtained represents an important input to keep in mind in a baseline for the elaboration of strategies or a SAN plan with updated and relevant information from the municipality.
