Malnutrition in all its forms including undernutrition, obesity, and micronutrient deficiencies continues to challenge global public health. This presentation explores evidence-based nutrition policies, sustainable food systems, and community-based interventions that improve nutritional status across populations. Advances in nutritional epidemiology, public health sur-veillance, and food fortification programs have strengthened strategies for preventing nutrition-related diseases.
The session discusses healthy dietary patterns, school nutrition programs, maternal and child nutrition, and policy initia-tives aimed at improving food security. Future directions include sustainable agriculture, precision public health nutrition, and digital health technologies that support equitable access to healthy diets worldwide.
