 I am one of the Senators or Parliamentarian that has signed on to Belize Parliamentarian Alliance Against Hunger and Malnutrition. My exposure here at the Forum here in Chile has given me a wider perspective on what Parliamentarians need to do in respect to the fight against hunger and malnutrition. As a nurse I do know the importance of having proper diet or balanced diet as a young child and going into adulthood and how even in adulthood proper nutrition is most important in simple steps as decision making in terms of how you manage anger etc. So as we come together in the Caribbean, in Latin America and South America, it is imperative that Parliamentarians work together and combine resources, exchange technical expertise as well as conduct research in order to safeguard food, proper food for our people. So food security and food sovereignty should be paramount and should be of most importance in every government.
