Abstract

The role of fish in improving nutrition and health outcomes

Sri Lakshmi Ajit

Multiple challenges face the world in meeting the dietary and nutritional needs of a population that is expected to exceed nine billion people by 2050. While the main focus of attention for low- and middle-income countries remains undernutrition, including micronutrient deficiencies, and infectious diseases, problems of overnutrition and non-communicable diseases are rapidly increasing in prevalence and putting an increasing burden on health systems. To address this "double burden" of malnutrition, current food systems must change dramatically to increase production and consumption of foods that are known to improve human health, such as fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, whole grains, and seafood. Low consumption of each of these foods does, in fact, play a role in world death and disability.
