GLOBAL AND LOCAL SCENARIO OF FOOD AND NUTRITION.pptx

Nutrition is the science that deals with the study of nutrients and their role in maintaining human health and well-being. It encompasses the various processes involved in the intake, absorption, and utilization of essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water, by the human body.

2. Definition of Food : Food is a substance that contains nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals that are essential for the growth and maintenance of the human body Definition of Nutrition: Nutrition refers to the process by which organisms take in and utilize food and other substances for growth, maintenance of body structures, and the functioning of bodily systems. It encompasses the intake of nutrients, the body's assimilation and utilization of these nutrients, and the impact they have on overall health, growth, and development. Good nutrition involves obtaining the right balance of nutrients that the body needs to function optimally, including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water.

3. II . Global Scenario : A. Food Security: Definition and importance: Food security refers to the availability of sufficient, safe, and nutritious food for all people at all times. It is a crucial aspect of human health and well-being, as it directly impacts the ability of individuals to maintain a healthy weight, prevent disease, and maintain physical and cognitive function.

4. 2 .Malnutrition Malnutrition refers to deficiencies, excesses, or imbalances in a person's intake of energy and/or nutrients. In this section, I define malnutrition and discuss its different forms, such as undernutrition, overnutrition, and micronutrient deficiencies. I provide statistics on the current state of malnutrition at the global level, including the number of people affected and the regions most affected. I also discuss the major causes of malnutrition, such as inadequate diet, poor sanitation, and lack of access to healthcare.

5. 3.Food Systems Food systems refer to the activities and processes involved in the production, distribution, and consumption of food. In this section, I define food systems and discuss their role in food and nutrition security. I provide an analysis of the current state of food systems at the global level, including their strengths and weaknesses. I also discuss the major challenges facing food systems, such as environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, and food waste.

6. B. Local Scenario of Food and Nutrition 1.Food Security In this section, I discuss food security at the local level. I define food security and its importance for local communities. I provide statistics on the current state of food security in your local area, including the number of people affected by hunger and malnutrition. I also discuss the major causes of food insecurity in your local area, such as poverty, lack of access to land and water,

7. Malnutrition Malnutrition also exists at the local level, and in this section, I discuss its different forms in your local area. I provide statistics on the current state of malnutrition, including the number of people affected and the regions most affected. I also discuss the major causes of malnutrition in your local area, such as inadequate diet, poor sanitation, and lack of access to healthcare.

8. Food Systems Food systems also play a critical role in food and nutrition security at the local level. In this section, I define food systems and discuss their role in your local community. I provide an analysis of the current state of food systems in your local area, including their strengths and weaknesses. I also discuss the major challenges facing food systems in your local area, such as environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, and food waste.

9. Challenges and Solutions Challenges In this section, I discuss the major challenges facing food and nutrition security at both the global and local levels. I analyze the interlinkages between these challenges and their impacts on food and nutrition security. Solutions In this section, I discuss potential solutions to address the challenges facing food and nutrition security. These solutions include sustainable agriculture, food systems transformation, social protection, and nutrition-sensitive
