Agricultura y seguridad alimentaria
El hambre y la malnutrición no solo ponen en peligro la salud individual, sino también y de forma decisiva el desarrollo de los países. Por eso, la COSUDE se preocupa de que todos puedan disfrutar de una alimentación adecuada, suficiente y de buena calidad. En este sentido, otorga importancia a la cadena entera de valor añadido de los alimentos: desde los campos, donde se producen los alimentos, pasando por el almacenamiento y el tratamiento, los mercados, la venta y el transporte hasta el consumo.
La COSUDE se compromete a promover a escala mundial el derecho de los seres humanos a una alimentación adecuada. De este modo, concibe sus actividades con el objetivo de proporcionar a los grupos de población más pobres y discriminados, como los pequeños productores, las mujeres y los jóvenes, un acceso equitativo al conocimiento, los recursos productivos y los mercados. En este marco, la COSUDE les apoya en el uso productivo y a la vez cuidadoso de los recursos naturales, en la gestión de las repercusiones del cambio climático, en el almacenamiento y la comercialización de sus productos, así como en la adaptación permanente a unas condiciones medioambientales en constante cambio. En todo ello, presta especial atención a la preservación de la biodiversidad, que se encuentra en grave peligro. Asimismo, aboga por lograr unos sistemas de investigación y de asesoramiento adaptados a las necesidades.
La COSUDE fomenta también las innovaciones a lo largo de la cadena de valor añadido de los alimentos, que posibilitan a los consumidores una alimentación sana y variada o el acceso tanto en el campo como en las ciudades a dichos alimentos.
La agricultura sostenible que preserve la biodiversidad es la base para garantizar el derecho humano a una alimentación sana y adecuada. Con este objetivo primordial, Suiza se involucra en el ámbito de la seguridad alimentaria en la cooperación internacional. La agricultura suiza es todo un ejemplo gracias a su producción de alimentos multifuncional, asentada en el equilibrio social y regional, de base familiar y respetuosa con el medio ambiente
