IANAS is the Inter-American Network
of Academies of Science.
Networks are powerful instruments for sharing and rapidly disseminating information, best practices and novel ideas through a larger community. By virtue of their credibility and independence from government, academies have certain inherent advantages in addressing issues related to science, technology and health (STH), and in advancing high quality science education at the national level.
Our Mission: is to strengthen science communities in the hemisphere and to provide an independent source of policy advice to governments on key scientific, technological and health challenges.
Our Vision: IANAS views strong science academies and vibrant science and technology communities as essential to sustainable development in the Americas.

21st Century Food Security and Nutrition challenges in the Americas: A View from the Academies of Sciences
The American hemisphere is one of the most environmentally and culturally diverse regions in the world. The region extends from polar through tropical environments in both hemispheres and agricultural systems vary from advanced industrial agriculture to small peasant agriculture. Thus, any effort to understand the food and nutrition challenges of the hemisphere must take this heterogeneity into account, as general averages are meaningless, if we are to provide useful advice to individual policy makers in the American hemisphere. Accordingly, IANAS proposes to begin by building a country-by-country expert assessment of the current status and future projections of food and nutrition challenges. Key commonalities and region specific issues will be drawn from this assessment.
