Time to shift from 'food security' to 'nutrition security?'


Policy experts are calling for a shift from 'food security' to 'nutrition security,' to reflect a growing emphasis in food quality that in recent years has prioritised quantity as a solution to address hunger.
Writing in the journal
JAMA​, researchers comment that in the past the "nutritious" part has been overlooked or lost in national policies and solutions – an omittance that may’ve contributed to the rise of diet-related diseases.
“It's the right time for this evolution," ​states Sheila Fleischhacker, adjunct professor at Georgetown Law School in Washington and co-author of the article.
"By prioritising nutrition security, we bring together historically siloed areas -- hunger and nutrition -- which must be tackled together to effectively address our modern challenges of diet-related diseases and disparities in clinical care, government food and food assistance policies, public health investments, and national research."​
