20% of participating families improve gender equity relations as expected result of PAF-Food Security (Martín Manzano, 2012).

325,044 farms (82%) are classified as small producers, whose cultivation area is less than three hectares according to the agricultural census (Martín Manzano, 2012).

Building towards the goal of zero hunger, the food and agriculture sector must be considered when designing nutritional interventions (Duncan et al., 2022).
Current frameworks used to guide nutrition interventions are designed from a health sector paradigm, leaving agricultural aspects not sufficiently leveraged (Duncan et al., 2022).
Nutritional outcomes and agriculture are linked in six important ways: as a source of food, as a source of income, through food prices, women's empowerment, women's time use, and women's health and nutritional status (Duncan et al., 2022).
The problem of malnutrition is multi-faceted and requires action through a multisectoral approach that includes healthcare, education, water and sanitation, social protection, and food and agriculture (Duncan et al., 2022).
