Proper nutrition is a powerful good: people who are well-fed are generally healthy. Good nutrition benefits families, their communities and the world as a whole. Despite considerable progress in recent decades, the world still falls far short of the goal of adequate food and nutrition for all. Over 780 million people in the world do not have enough food to meet their basic daily needs for energy and protein. More than two billion people subsist on diets that lack the essential vitamins and minerals required for normal growth and development. The present book examines global nutritional issues as it relates to health and disease occurrence integrating socio-political, economic and environmental factors. Issues relating to food security, food distribution, poverty and development, socio-economic factors and governance are examined and their influence on nutrition are explored. It is designed to meet the needs of all who desire an integrated under-standing of the role of nutrition in global health issues and the interplay with the various facets of globalisation and development.
