Beating the Nutrition Recession: Tackling Food Poverty
|
Government statistics show that since 2007 the lowest income households have started to buy less food. With dramatic increases in food prices, and the increase in consumption of convenience food, there is a threat to the health and nutrition of vulnerable households, potentially leading to serious health problems. Poor diet and nutrition can be a major health risk factor, with inequalities in diet often reflected in inequalities in health. Figures from the Department of Health show that poor diet is linked to coronary heart disease, cancers, increased fractures and falls in older people, low birth-weight and increased childhood morbidity.With these issues in mind this Policy Knowledge briefing is the perfect opportunity to discuss and debate the latest developments in reducing food poverty and poor nutrition in communities across the country with fellow professionals and policymakers. |
