Poor Quality Diets
Even with sufficient amounts of food, the types of food are important for a healthy diet.
Protein and energy deficiencies usually occur together and are most common in children.
Iron deficiency may affect as much as 60-80% of the world’s population.
Iodine deficiency may affect 13-30% of the world’s population.
Vitamin A deficiency is the leading cause of preventable blindness in children.

Sustainable Agriculture and Choices Sustainable agriculture uses food production
methods that prevent damage to the environment and allow the land to restore itself so food can be produced indefinitely.
Choosing food grown locally can minimize energy costs and pollution due to food transport.
Choosing organic foods that are minimally processed and ecologically packaged can minimize environmental impacts.
