Résumé

This publication discusses in depth the components of food and nutrition policies and the evidence supporting them. It describes food- and nutrition-related ill health and its costs, shows the need for action and describes the steps for decision-makers to take. The book highlights the urgent need for integrated, multisectoral food and nutrition policies to encourage the sustainable production of food, its safety and the provision of food of high nutritional quality for all. The book lays out the available data that show the links between health, nutrition, food and food supplies, as outlined in the First Action Plan for Food and Nutrition Policy, WHO European Region, 2000-2005 (Annex 1). Rising concern about health and consumer issues has led EU countries explicitly to include assessments of the effects on health of other sectors' policies, in accordance with the Amsterdam Treaty. The Action Plan recommends that WHO Member States within and outside the EU develop cross-sectoral mechanisms to ensure that health policies are integral to non-health sectors. International and selected national recommendations on nutrient intake values are also given.
