This book was released on 2021-12-20 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global fruit and vegetable (F&V) production and consumption are significantly below the threshold needed to meet the FAO and World Health Organization (WHO) recommended F&V intake. In 2017, approximately 4 million premature deaths globally were attributable to insufficient F&V consumption. Globally, very few policy actions specifically promote F&V consumption beyond school-based interventions. Communication and behavior change interventions are insufficient on their own. International evidence suggests that fiscal policies, and policies and programmes that increase access to fresh F&Vs through mobile produce markets can be effective in increasing F&V consumption.

This book was released on 2021-07-27 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inadequate fruit and vegetable intake is a substantial contributor to the international burden of disease. Low fruit and vegetable intake is ranked among the leading dietary risk factors for mortality across low, middle, and high-income countries. But food decisions are complex. As a result, the reasons why people do not eat enough fruits and vegetables are complex. This paper, prepared as a contribution and input to the the FAO/WHO international workshop on fruits and vegetables 2020, reviews the challenges, opportunities and recommendations to develop effective policies and programmes promoting fruits and vegetables, from production to comsumption.

Download or read book Promoting safe and adequate fruit and vegetable consumption to improve health written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2021-12-23 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FAO and the World Health Organization (WHO) recommend a daily fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake of at least 400 grams/adult. However, low F&V intake has become a global public health problem. The promotion of F&Vs in the International Year of Fruits and Vegetables emphasizes unprocessed or minimally processed F&Vs, which are highly beneficial to health. However, processing can improve food safety, especially from microbiological contamination, and reduce loss and waste. Conversely, F&Vs which are highly processed can undermine the health benefits of F&V consumption.

This book was released on 2020-01-28 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The states of Pohnpei and Yap in the Federated States of Micronesia currently produce limited amount of food locally. Exporting food is also limited therefore importing substantial quantities of vegetables, fruits and root crops amounts to millions of dollars annually. This is partly owing to a lack of necessary information on crop production locally to assist producers in their production. To help contribute to rectifying this situation, this manual is aimed to provide guidelines for farmers and producers on seedling production and management, plant spacing, cropping program, soil fertility and crop protection.

Book excerpt: This background paper summarizes the evidence on the effects of fruits and vegetable intakes on direct and indirect health outcomes. Modeling and observational research studies have reported benefits to sustainability outcomes and a reduction of inequities in food systems with the production of fruits and vegetables grown within agroecological systems and distributed through short supply chains. Such systems require protection from large-scale monocropping and industrial methods of food production and supply.
