Community Nutrition for Developing Countries
Community Nutrition for Developing Countries
countries have very often been written by scholars who live and work in
North America or the United Kingdom. And while the research and
information they present is sound, the nutrition-related health
challenges with which developing countries must grapple differs
considerably from those found in highly industrialized Western nations.
The primary aim of Community Nutrition for Developing
Countries is to address this issue. Written by both scholars and
practitioners, the volume draws on their wealth of knowledge,
experience, and understanding of nutrition in developing countries to
provide nutrition professionals with the proper tools for the
assessment and evaluation of nutritional status. Each chapter addresses
a specific nutrition challenge currently faced by developing countries
such as food security, food safety, disease prevention, maternal
health, and effective nutrition policy. In addition, the volume serves
as an invaluable resource for those developing and implementing
nutrition education programmes. With an emphasis on nutritional
education as a means to prevent disease and effectively manage health
disorders, it is the hope of the nearly three dozen contributors to
this work that it will enhance the health and wellbeing of low income
populations throughout the world.
