Zero Hunger in Brazil Food Acquisition Program promote production and consumption milk
At the 2008 International Right to Food Forum, Rosilene Cristina Rocha from Brazil's Ministry of Social Development and Fight Against Hunger gave a presentation.
In the Fome Zero, or Zero Hunger program, there is a Food Acquisition Program (under the acronym PAA) which is intended to strengthen family agriculture. Part of the program is to offer milk to families in situations of food and nutrition insecurity and to promote the family production of milk.
