Environmental Health Seminar: “Does Eating Better Food Improve Nutrition? Complex Answers to Apparently Simple Questions”
Seminar on the multidirectional linkages among food systems, health, diets and nutrition. It will illustrate new findings on how measures of diet diversity or adequacy do not always proxy well for good nutrition, how obesity is growing in even low income rural areas, why it is hard to measure urban diets, and where food systems need to be in 2025 to hopefully meet new Sustainable Development Goals.
