write the short note on national nutritional policy
Answers
Dear Student,
___________________________________
Nutrition policy is a statement by an authoritative body (usually the government) of its intent to act in order to maintain or alter the food supply, nutritional status, or some other indicator in society. It is distinct from ‘food policy’ since food policy does not explicitly incorporate public health concerns. Another term, ‘food and nutrition policy’ is an umbrella term that incorporates both public health concerns and intersectoral action with food policy. Food and nutrition policy should be discussed together because the effects of nutrition policy depend to such a great extent on food consumption. Nutrition politics are activities by individuals or groups that involve the governance of a city, state, or country that involve nutrition. Nutrition policy and politics are inextricably bound to each other in most settings, especially when governmental institutions are involved. Therefore politics and the roles that governmental institutions play must also be considered.
