This guide emphasizes the urgent need to address malnutrition in all its forms, including undernutrition, overweight, obesity, and diet-related noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) like heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and cancers. It advocates for healthier, more sustainable food systems that prioritize nutritious, safe foods while reducing waste. This approach is crucial to improving health, productivity, and reducing healthcare costs globally.
The guide is complemented by From Policy to Plate: A Collection of Case Studies which provides examples of how countries are implementing existing policy solutions to improve nutrition and food systems for the prevention of diet-related NCDs.
