Trata en especial de las emergencias nutricionales graves, tales como la inanicion masiva causada por la interrupcion del abastecimietno alimenticio a una poblacion por un largo periodo. Excepcionalmente, la escasez de alimentos puede ser ocasionada por el fracaso de las principales cosechas, guerra y conflictos civiles, o por desastres naturales. El personal de socorro responsable de la distribucion de alimentos por periodos breves posteriores a un gran desastre como un terremoto o un ciclon, tambien encontraran que estas pautas le seran utiles, aunque la guia ha sido preparada especificamente para el manejo de situaciones en las cuales las poblaciones padecen de malnutricion grave y generalizada.

Epidemiology and Control of Falciparum Malaria in the Americas
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Malaria
Languages : en
Pages : 60
Book Description
Falciparum malaria continues to be an important health problem on the American continent. Although transmission is now mainly confined to geographic zones lying between latitudes 15 degrees N and 15 degrees S, there has been a resurgence of the disease during the past decade in many parts of the Region. It has occurred in countries where the transmission of malaria had previously been interrupted and in countries where intensive antimalarial activities are in progress, as well as in countries where vigorous antimalarial efforts are not being pursued. In the XXX Report on the Status of Malaria Programs in the Americas, presented at the XXI Pan American Sanitary Conference held in Washington, DC, in September 1982, four main reasons were given for the deteriorating malaria situation: 1. Technical problems associated with the development of vector resistance to insecticides and of Plasmodium falciparum resistance to 4-aminoquinoline drugs. 2. Problems encountered with intensive inter- and intracountry movement of people. 3. Problems of shrinking resources caused by rising personnel, equipment, and supply costs. 4. Problems related to sociopolitical and human factors. The objectives of this workshop were to review the status of falciparum malaria in the different regions of the American continent, to indentify constraints to effective control of the disease, to review current knowledge regarding drug resistance in falciparum malaria, and to identify appropriate measures and research projects that would improve the epidemiological assessment and control of falciparum malaria in various areas of this continent. - Introduction.

Indigenous Peoples’ food systems
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251345619
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
This publication provides an overview of the common and unique sustainability elements of Indigenous Peoples' food systems, in terms of natural resource management, access to the market, diet diversity, indigenous peoples’ governance systems, and links to traditional knowledge and indigenous languages. While enhancing the learning on Indigenous Peoples food systems, it will raise awareness on the need to enhance the protection of Indigenous Peoples' food systems as a source of livelihood for the 476 million indigenous inhabitants in the world, while contributing to the Zero Hunger Goal. In addition, the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition (2016-2025) and the UN Food Systems Summit call on the enhancement of sustainable food systems and on the importance of diversifying diets with nutritious foods, while broadening the existing food base and preserving biodiversity. This is a feature characteristic of Indigenous Peoples' food systems since hundreds of years, which can provide answers to the current debate on sustainable food systems and resilience.
