Sheinbaum pursues food sovereignty through domestic agriculture program

President Claudia Sheinbaum is prioritizing domestic agriculture to achieve food sovereignty and reduce reliance on imports. Her administration's "Alimentación para el Bienestar" program aims to eliminate intermediaries, ensure fair prices for producers, and process goods like coffee and corn within Mexico. This initiative, utilizing "Tiendas del Bienestar," seeks to directly benefit the country's two million small producers, with coffee prices reportedly rising significantly under the new system.
