A DECLARAÇÃO DE BELÉM SOBRE DIETAS RICAS EM ALIMENTOS DE ORIGEM VEGETAL

Esta Declaração, assinada por líderes de governos municipais e regionais, ONGs e outras partes interessadas, conclama os governos nacionais a promover dietas saudáveis e sustentáveis por meio da elaboração e implementação de Planos de Ação para Alimentos à Base de Vegetais.

Reconhecendo os múltiplos1 2 papéis que as dietas ricas em alimentos de origem vegetal desempenham na mitigação da crise climática, a Declaração de Belém solicita que os governos nacionais desenvolvam e coloquem em prática planos de ação abrangentes e ambiciosos para promover esses alimentos em toda a sociedade.

Os planos de ação devem incluir medidas concretas para incentivar a produção e o consumo de alimentos à base de vegetais3, por meio de iniciativas apoiadas pelos governos nacionais e que envolvam cidades e governos regionais

Como signatários desta carta, nos comprometemos a fortalecer esforços colaborativos e inclusivos para acelerar a transição para dietas mais ricas em alimentos vegetais, por meio do desenvolvimento de Planos Nacionais de Ação para Alimentos à Base de Vegetais por todos os Estados-membros da ONU.

01

Mitigação das mudanças climáticas

Dense, green rainforest with mist rising among tall trees, set against a backdrop of hills and a cloudy sky. The image has a rounded border on the top right side.

Considerando que quase todos os países identificam os sistemas agroalimentares como prioridade para adaptação (94%) e mitigação (91%) das mudanças climáticas em suas Contribuições Nacionalmente Determinadas (NDCs), e levando em conta o enorme potencial desses sistemas como soluções climáticas — especialmente no contexto da apresentação da terceira rodada de NDCs em 2025,4

Reconhecendo que mais de 150 nações assinaram a Declaração dos Emirados Árabes Unidos na COP28 sobre Agricultura Sustentável, Sistemas Alimentares Resilientes e Ação Climática, com o objetivo de substituir práticas com maiores emissões de gasses de efeito estufa por abordagens mais sustentáveis de produção e consumo,5

Reconhecendo que o relatório do Painel Intergovernamental sobre Mudanças Climáticas (IPCC) de 2022 sobre mitigação das mudanças climáticas destaca as transições para dietas ricas em alimentos de origem vegetal como mecanismos importantes de mitigação,6

Observando também que o IPCC conclui que dietas ricas em alimentos vegetais podem levar a uma redução significativa nas emissões de gasses de efeito estufa (GEE), em comparação com os padrões alimentares atuais na maioria dos países industrializados,7 8

02

Benefícios para a saúde pública

Reconhecendo que dietas ricas em alimentos de origem vegetal estão amplamente associadas à redução do risco de mortalidade precoce e oferecem proteção contra doenças crônicas não transmissíveis,9

Observando que o relatório do IPCC de 2022 afirma que dietas “balanceadas” são aquelas que incluem grãos integrais, leguminosas, frutas, vegetais, nozes e sementes,11 afirma que fontes de proteína de origem vegetal, como feijões, ervilhas e lentilhas, podem suprir as necessidades nutricionais da maioria dos adultos saudáveis e reduzir a pegada de carbono individual,

03

Proteção da biodiversidade

Reconhecendo que um relatório independente apoiado pelo PNUMA identifica a transição para dietas mais ricas em vegetais como uma das três principais alavancas para reduzir a pressão sobre o uso da terra, diminuir a perda de biodiversidade e criar um sistema alimentar mais sustentável,12

Reconhecendo que a substituição de alimentos de origem animal por alimentos vegetais em países de alta renda gera um “duplo dividendo”: uma redução de 61% nas emissões de gasses de efeito estufa (GEE) nesses países e o sequestro de carbono equivalente a 14 anos de emissões globais da agricultura, graças à renaturalização das terras liberadas,13 14

Segurança alimentar e resiliência:

Reconhecendo que muitos países do Sul Global possuem tradições alimentares ricas em vegetais que precisam ser preservadas a fim de manter a segurança alimentar, o patrimônio cultural e os conhecimentos indígenas,15

Observando que a produção de alimentos localizada em pequenos Estados insulares em desenvolvimento, onde as dietas tradicionais há muito enfatizam alimentos de origem vegetal ricos em fibras, pode ajudar a recuperar e restaurar sistemas alimentares saudáveis e resilientes ao clima nesses países,16

Reconhecendo que cultivar mais alimentos para consumo humano direto, em vez de como ração animal, pode aumentar a disponibilidade de alimentos para consumo humano direto,17 18 19 20

05

Benefícios econômicos:

Two men harvest grapes in a vineyard; one holds a bin filled with grapes while the other smiles. Vine rows and more workers are visible in the background on a cloudy day.

Observando que a adoção de alimentos de origem vegetal cultivados por meio de métodos agrícolas sustentáveis pode gerar novas oportunidades de emprego em todo o mundo, especialmente para pequenos produtores e pequenas propriedades familiares:21 22

Nós, os signatários, em vista da próxima Conferência das Partes da UNFCCC no Brasil, conclamamos os Estados-membros da ONU a:

  1. Estabelecer Planos de Ação Nacionais para Alimentos de Origem Vegetal com o objetivo de promover dietas saudáveis e sustentáveis – da produção ao consumo – a fim de aumentar a segurança alimentar e a resiliência, melhorar a saúde pública, mitigar as mudanças climáticas, proteger e restaurar a biodiversidade, gerar benefícios econômicos e garantir coerência nas políticas públicas.
  2. Assumir o compromisso com um prazo para a publicação dos Planos de Ação Nacionais para Alimentos de Origem Vegetal, de modo que possam ser apresentados para discussão na COP 32, em 2027.
  3. Comprometer-se com o apoio financeiro à implementação dos Planos de Ação Nacionais para Alimentos de Origem Vegetal, utilizando orçamentos de promoção do setor agroalimentar.
