rapidly changing food environments

How do these changes impact children's nutrition?

The shift in food environments has led to increased availability of processed and ultra-processed foods, high in sugars, fats, and salt. This has contributed to rising rates of childhood obesity and related health issues such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Conversely, there may also be limited access to nutritious foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, exacerbating malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies among children.
