What does the bill do?
The bill sets a state mechanism to ensure access to food in times of emergency. The law requires the establishment of a national logistics system for storing, managing and distributing a basic food basket made up of healthy and nutritious products. The system will include central logistics centers and distribution centers close to populations, with an emphasis on vulnerable populations (the elderly, infants, pregnant women, people with disabilities and low-income households). The Minister of Welfare, in consultation with the Minister of Health and the National Council for Food Security, will set the composition of the food basket and a multi-year plan.
