Community-based food and nutrition programmes

Community-based food and nutrition programmes have been implemented in many countries. They have in common nutrition or nutrition-related objectives, be it the broad objectives of reducing the prevalence of malnutrition or improving household food security, or more specific objectives related to a single micronutrient or a single nutrition activity such as the promotion of breastfeeding.

Human Vitamin and Mineral Requirements

Dietary diversification is important to improve the intake of critical nutrients. The micronutrients selected discussed here, although limited in number, are of public health relevance or serve as markers for overall micronutrient intake.

Human Vitamin and Mineral Requirements

Human Energy Requirement

Human energy requirements are estimated from measures of energy expenditure plus the additional energy needs for growth, pregnancy and lactation. Recommendations for dietary energy intake from food must satisfy these requirements for the attainment and maintenance of optimal health, physiological function and well-being.
