Communicating to Inspire Change: Dialogue on Nutrition
22 October 2014, Rome--- Do you know that malnutrition is believed to be the underlying cause of death for 2.6 million children annually? A quarter of the children in the world, and a third in developing countries, are ‘small’ or stunted due to lack of nutritious foods - while, around one and a half billion people globally are overweight, with half a billion deemed obese ? Malnutrition could cost as much as $3.5 trillion or $500 per person in lost productivity and health care expenses.
