Interconnections poster

Interconexiones entre el ambiente, migración y alimentación
(INTERconnections between the environment, migration and feeding)

October 14, 2022

La inseguridad alimentaria, entendida como la falta de disponibilidad, acceso o utilización constante de alimentos adecuados, es un determinante clave de la salud actual y futura de las personas, además de ser un impulsor clave de la migración. En los grupos móviles, la inseguridad alimentaria suele ser una experiencia común pues se presenta en todas las etapas del proceso migratorio poniendo en riesgo su salud y seguridad. En este seminario consideramos el impacto del ambiente incluyendo el clima y el acceso a agua sobre la alimentación y por ende la salud de los que migran transitando por México, con el propósito de considerar posibles estrategias para afrontar y reducir el impacto de los efectos ambientales.
