Nutrition and health

Nutrition is essential for health and development. Better nutrition means stronger immune systems, less illness and better health. Healthy children learn better. Healthy people are stronger, more productive and therefore able to gradually break the cycles of both poverty and hunger. Better nutrition is a prime entry point to ending poverty and a milestone to achieving better quality of life.
