Resumen
Descripción
Obesity and its associated non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have become a major contributor to adult disease and death. More and more people are becoming overweight and obese and growing numbers are dying from illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease and certain types of cancer. Driving this global shift in malnutrition and NCDs are unhealthy diets, physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour. Our food systems and food environments are not delivering the diets needed to promote and sustain optimum health. FAO is working with the public and private sectors to reform them – advising on and transforming the way food is produced, collected, stored, transported, processed and distributed – to improve diets and health and to address the impact on natural resources.
