Florianopolis declaration Thus, we propose that the following actions be taken: Strengthen integration and collaboration between Latin American countries constructing a regional identity to address food and nutrition problems as a joint effort.

Assure that all relevant actors in the various sectors related to nutrition at the national and international level work synergistically through regional cooperation networks.
