Global nutrition

Global nutrition refers to the health and well-being of populations worldwide as influenced by their diet and access to essential nutrients. It involves ensuring people get the right balance of proteins, vitamins, minerals, and calories needed for growth, development, and overall health. Despite progress, many regions still struggle with malnutrition, which includes hunger, undernutrition, or deficiencies, while others face overnutrition and related diseases. Addressing global nutrition aims to improve food security, reduce health disparities, and promote sustainable, equitable access to nutritious diets for all communities.
