In this context, Sustainable food systems (SAS) is a platform that aims at exploring new ways of approaching the causes of child malnutrition in a comprehensive manner and promote the transition to more inclusive and sustainable food systems.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” bottom_padding=”8%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_gallery type=”flickity_static_height_style” images=”6243,6244,6245,6246,6247,6248,6249,6250″ flickity_spacing=”10px” flickity_controls=”next_prev_arrows_overlaid” flickity_overflow=”visible” flickity_wrap_around=”wrap” flickity_autoplay=”true” flickity_autorotate_type=”default” flickity_box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”lazy-load” onclick=”link_no” flickity_img_height=”500″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]In order to achieve this, SAS recommends an intervention model that contemplates a strategic plan of collaboration between the public, private and social sector, of building capacities, knowledge based on evidence that allows for the creation of more efficient and sustainable models, the testing, systematization and implementation on site of those models that enable their scalability and replication in the most encompassing, efficient and sustainable manner.<\/span><\/p>\n

To this date, more than 2,000 bibliographic sources were researched and gathered for an analysis report which was written, validated and published; and which provided information on the multiple causes of child malnutrition with a regional and national perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the search for innovative practices, since 2020, annual editions of the SAS awards are held, in which more than 200 organizations have taken part by submitting their projects. There are workshops, trainings and professional development forums and diverse applied research lines are followed. At this moment, the project is in the stage of creating the working hypothesis, selection and prioritization of sites for the implementation of local intervention models which we call pilot test.<\/span><\/p>\n
