Mayabeque, Cuba: The analysis and discussion of the Food Sovereignty and Food and Nutritional Security bill with agricultural workers in the province began this week in Mayabeque.
The intention of these meetings with the producers is to find out their opinions on the document and enrich the proposal with their experiences and considerations, prior to the exchange with the deputies.
A significant aspect of the regulations is to advance in the education of the population on the issue of food consumption, as well as to encourage the production and use of bio-products and organic fertilizers.
The bill seeks to establish the general legal framework to achieve food sovereignty, as well as to strengthen food and nutritional security based on the protection of the right of every person to healthy and adequate food.
In turn, it regulates the organization of local sovereign and sustainable food systems that articulate the production, transformation, marketing and consumption of food in an intersectoral and interinstitutional manner.
