disagree  Translator78: If you change Ministry for Department or bureau then such designation might conflict with subdivisions of the Ministry that are actual departments or bureaus and not reflect proper hierarchy.

agree  Marina Soldati: Si, pero sin producción, porque lo que hace, según su sitio oficial, es garantizar el acceso de los consumidores a los alimentos, sean nacionales o importados. Saludos

  -> gracias Marina ...es lo que pensaba (sin "Production"). Saludos :)
agree  Rene Ron: Correcto, solo Ministry of Food, porque la idea del Ministerio es garantizar la distribución y el acceso de la población a la comida, pero no su producción.

disagree  Translator78: Although some publications may liberally translate "alimentación" to "food", fact is that "alimentación" means "alimentation" or "nourishment" and not "food". The government could have created a "Ministerio de Comida".
