The ‘Quest for healthy diets’ publication sums up FAO’s work to improve nutrition levels structurally, by way of data, evidence, innovation and convening power for the collective goal to ensure all people have access to culturally appropriate healthy food.

Solutions for eating better – globally, locally, contextually – do exist but are not implemented.
