The disintegration is characterized by traces of human species becoming alienated from its spiritual connection to nature and community. The alternative theory presented herein offers sustainable social practices which must decentralize and distribute economic power in ways that facilitate the restoration of this connection

AAHM aims to address how countries and organizations can be more effective in advocating and carrying out actions to address hunger and malnutrition.

AAHM works to address food and nutrition security by enhancing resources and knowledge sharing and strengthening anti-hunger activities within countries and across regional and international levels through its support of the national alliances in both developing and developed countries. At the country level, the alliance involves people’s movements, CSOs, government agencies on food and nutrition security, IGOs, and the private sector. ANGOC is the convener of AHHM in Asia.

Respective AHHM country nodes (Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines and Vietnam) have prepared scoping papers on food and nutrition security, to establish national baseline information and define strategic directions for AHHM in Asia. More specifically, these scoping papers give a post-food-crisis perspective on food security and nutrition (FSN) policies and programs; rapidly scan mechanisms for discussing FSN policies and programs; and recommended strategies to promote smallholder agriculture and eradicate hunger and poverty, especially at the household level.
