Background:

There is a historical lack of analyses of dietary and nutritional public policies that now allows for a repositioning and new logic to contribute to the consolidation of a progressive system that guarantees the right to food.

Objective:

Address public policy recommendations in studies of Colombian food and nutrition policies during the years 2000-2015.

Materials and Methods:

Qualitative methodological design based on the analysis of 36 documents containing analytical contributions to the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of public policies in the food and nutrition field.

Results:

Three types of technical recommendations were discovered: 1) those that propose the approach and intervention of structural issues that transcend decision makers and are related to macro attributes of public problems; 2) those focused on the redefinition of public problems; and 3) those that emphasize the recomposition of institutional processes and the design of public policy instruments.

Conclusions:

Advocate for public problems from the purvue of social determinants of health, food, and nutrition, and modify public policies by promoting new schools of thought-academic, political and social. These conceptual and methodological paradigm shifts are necessary to reposition these public policies.
