Resumen
Descripción
Food systems are crucial for addressing problems of food insecurity, malnutrition, and diet-related health problems. Many countries, communities and even households face situations where under-nutrition exists side by side with a fast growing problem of overweight, obesity and diet-related non-communicable diseases. The problems and their causes are complex and evolving fast. New challenges arising from demographic changes, climate change, and globalization further add to the complexity. The Sec ond International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) in 2014 raised awareness about the underlying issues and generated agreement through the ICN2 Framework for Action on a set of recommended policy and programmatic action. Central to this is the need for creating strong partnerships and promoting coordinated action among all food systems actors.
