| dc.description | Science is critically important as the basic driver for the process of nutrition policy-making. The current global nutrition focus is on the dual burden of malnutrition, which includes hunger and malnutrition as well as obesity and non-communicable diseases (NCD). The wide prevalence of micronutrient malnutrition or “hidden hunger” attests to the fact that many diets in both developing and developed countries are energy rich but nutrient poor and some variations in the type of malnutrition may v ary across communities and even among members of the same family. Nonetheless, this pattern of nutrition-related disease means that policy-makers need to make the best strategic decisions within the available resources to address both aspects of malnutrition. | |
