BEATO, Gabriel Cunha; CARRIZO, Lidia Ana Del Valle  and  OLIVEIRA, Maria Rita Marques de. Conceptions and Reflections of Members of the Academic Community of the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba on Sovereignty and Food Security in the Nutrition Curriculum: a Report from an Academic Visit. Rev. Int. Educ. Super. [online]. 2023, vol.9, e023017.  Epub Mar 27, 2025. ISSN 2446-9424.  https://doi.org/10.20396/riesup.v9i0.8663953.

Food sovereignty and security are cross-cutting themes of multiprofessional interests, of which the nutritionist has a special approach to professional insertion given the curricular characteristics. The degree of proximity of the nutritionist to these themes depends on the training process at the university level and the curriculum of the educational institution, which can address, sufficiently, or not, the themes during graduation. The present report of experiences aims to report the experience of an academic visit guided by interviews held at the School of Nutrition of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba in 2019. Structured interviews were conducted with 7 key characters about understanding and the presence of food sovereignty and security in the current undergraduate curriculum in Nutrition. As main results, it was observed that the key characters had knowledge about these themes, but these contents were not clearly present in the curriculum. Much of the knowledge involving food sovereignty and security was acquired through extension projects and community work.
