Descripción
This background paper summarizes the evidence on the effects of fruits and vegetable intakes on direct and indirect health outcomes. Modeling and observational research studies have reported benefits to sustainability outcomes and a reduction of inequities in food systems with the production of fruits and vegetables grown within agroecological systems and distributed through short supply chains. Such systems require protection from large-scale monocropping and industrial methods of food production and supply.
