[Demographic dynamics in the food-nutrition problem: the search for effective strategies in Latin America].

This paper addresses the interrelationship between the food and nutrition problem and population problems in Latin America within a global focus. A basic framework is presented which defines four demographic problems highly related with the food and nutrition situation: The underutilization of the labor force; the accelerated growth of the marginal population; the poor geographic distribution and rapid urbanization; and the high rates of infant and child mortality. Findings from the recent experience of demography in food and nutrition planning in the last four years in Central America and Panama are outlined, and strategies are recommended for the development of different types of programs and projects in population-nutrition. Finally, a list of applied research, basic information and direct action projects in population-nutrition that have been detected as needed by most of the Central American countries, is presented.

[Nutrition programs and levels of health care].

Population health and nutrition situations present different degrees of complexity which must be met with different degrees of technological complexity. This can be accomplished by organizing, in a progressive way, the resources of the health service system to constitute different levels of attention. In this paper, the concept of levels of attention of the health service system is analyzed on the basis of the aforementioned ideas, and comments are made on the increasing administrative complexity required to keep pace with the increasing technological complexity. Mention is made of the criteria which must be taken into account in order to select nutrition activities to be performed in the health sector and the way in which these activities must conform to the different levels, according to their degree of specialization and complexity. Special reference is made of experiences where the basic or primary level activities involving community participation are particularly important. Finally, the incorporation of nutrition as a part of the attention routine at the various levels is discussed; here, the importance of the necessary mechanisms for coordination and support among the various levels is stressed.

[The health sector in the multisectorial planning for food and nutrition].

The limited success of the health unisectorial action for the solution of the nutritional problems of the population led to the recognition of the necessity of coordinating the work of many sectors. The most important responsibilities of the health sector in the process of the multisectorial food and nutrition planning are discussed: morail and technical leadership during the promotion and development of the process: diagnosis of the nutritional problems; definition of the biological reference terms; promotion and participation in the design, initiation, operation and evaluation of food and nutrition multisectorial systems; participation in the formulation of socio-economical development objectives; evaluation of the food and nutrition policies, and follow-up and evaluation of the projects they may generate; active participation and support of resources for the development of the process; implementation and execution of the sectoral activities; research; participation in nutritional planning aspects for disaster situations, and planning of the nutritional activities of the health sector.
