Who We Are
Fundación Alternativas implements a series of projects and actions centered on improving food security and guaranteeing the universal right to food.
The Constitution of the Plurinational State of Bolivia recognizes food as a fundamental human right (Art. 16). However, the country currently registers high rates of food insecurity: close to 20% of the population still lives with hunger while more than 60% struggles with overweight or obesity.
In light of this data, we believe the time has come to design and adopt mechanisms that allow all people to access food in a healthy and sustainable manner.
