The authors of this book delve into the diagnoses, but above all, they propose solutions, conceived from the Latin American and Caribbean experience, in dialogue with the vast and sometimes cacophonous world debate on agriculture and food. These are not simple or univocal solutions, because unfortunately, the nature of the issue calls for strategies that cover different dimensions and engage all segments of our societies.
