The phenomenon of hunger in the world is a consequence of the disorganisation of the world community, the absence of a global policy, the lack of structures capable of harmonising human vital interests and the lack of knowledge of natural dietary rules. Hunger is at the centre of world concern because of its intensity, the large number of people affected and the social crises it can cause; we must therefore seek to resolve this situation within the economic and political framework, which is now international. Although the number of malnourished Africans has been growing for decades and now stands at around 200 million, a new commitment to change has emerged both within African leaders and the international community (African Conference Directive 2020). In Mozambique, the concern with ensuring food and nutrition security is no exception to the above and is a constant. Thus, it is necessary to develop policies and strategies that can be effective and sustainable to ensure food and nutrition security in the country.
