Argentina’s National Report 2013 highlights the advances it has made in providing access to healthy and nutritious food for its citizens through the National Plan for Food Security. Included within this plan is the ‘Prohuerta’ Program which aims to improve food sovereignty and promote self-production/cultivation of fresh food and vegetables in poor and vulnerable communities. The program provides training and technical assistance to families, institutions and community organizations and also supplies seeds, fruits, livestock and tools suited to the local terrain. This successful program extends to most Argentine
provinces and reaches
3.5 million people through a network of approximately 8,000 institutions. The model has also been replicated in Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, Venezuela and Haiti.
