The purpose of this brief is to reflect how stakeholders involved in different functional areas of Santiago de Cali’s food systems perceive food and nutrition security and sustainability in the city-region. Eleven interviews were conducted between June and August of 2019, with individuals representing Cali’s municipal government, Valle del Cauca’s departmental government, private enterprise, non-profits, agroecological farmer organizations, consumer advocacy groups, civil society, and academia.1 Individuals were asked to describe the strengths and weaknesses of government programs and describe the factors that impact the ability to achieve food security, improved nutrition, and positive socio-economic outcomes while protecting the environment.
