Dietary diversity matters
There are many ways to conserve the planet’s precious biodiversity - the main one is diversifying our diet. Nutritionists have long recognized dietary diversity as a key element of high-quality diets. Many studies validated dietary diversity against nutrient adequacy. The micronutrient density of the diet is considered high when the dietary diversity is greater.
“The reason I’m so worried about children and pregnant women is that the effect of not being well-nourished carries throughout their life.
Their ability to be healthy and smart and productive in their life is damaged, and it’s something that is almost impossible to reverse.”
Anthea Webb, Deputy Regional Director of WFP in Asia and the Pacific.
