HAVANA, Cuba, Feb 18 (ACN) The Cuban Food Sovereignty and Nutritional Education Plan (SAN Plan by its Spanish acronym), as a national platform to achieve full food security, will be presented today in Havana to the diplomatic corps, international collaboration agencies and the national and foreign press.

This draft bill will be the legal basis for the SSAN Plan, and for its preparation a Temporary Working Group was set up, coordinated by the Ministry of Agriculture, with the technical and logistical support of the international collaboration project Strengthening Policies for Sustainable Food Security in Cuba (POSAS), of the SAS Cuba Country Program, financed by the European Union and implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
