Human
nutrition refers to the interaction between food and the human body,
and the resulting health and wellbeing of individuals.
The best
source of nutrition continues to be breastfeeding and diversified rich
traditional foods developed by cultures throughout history.
Nutrition is only one of the dimensions of eating linked to human health.
The
best way to guarantee adequate nutrition is through the provision of
diversified, safe, and balanced diets, based on local fresh
produce which is agroecologically produced, and prepared according to cultural practices.
Nutrition cannot be separated from food, production models, food systems or eating practices.
