Strategies in Mexico for the food/nutrition problem

The biggest food problem in Mexico can be located in several places but the places with the greatest concentration are in the highly rural and jungle states like Oaxaca or Chiapas
where people mostly children have great need for a better caloric diet that allows
them to develop in a proper way.

In this places families live with very few money, have no constant or fix income and the education is very poor, part of the problem is an integration one, some
communities are very far from urban centers with very little access making them
difficult to have some basic services and making them vulnerable to the
exploitation of some monopolist powers which domain the markets.

To combat this in particular the nutrition problem different approaches have been used, some by the federal or local governments which incorporate, transfers in food or cash, money if
they send their children to the school instead of work and free meals inside
the schools, this have prove more less good strategies but some what lacking
some impact, because the difficult for the families to incorporate themselves
to markets because of geographical limitations, education and low entrance in
the market of agricultural goods.

In the urban areas some initiatives involve food banks, people and organizations make campaigns to raise funds and food, they ask for donations that then are used to buy food and
make it available to the people in need in the food banks, also people can
donate food themselves and the supermarkets are encouraged to donate some of
their surpluses too.

These different strategies have some good results but lots still needs to be done.

Here I left you some links to the food bank campaigns.
