During the Seventeenth Session of the Committee on Agriculture some Members expressed the concerns that certain recommendations of the Report of the Joint WHO/FAO Expert Consultation on Diet, Nutrition and the Prevention of Chronic Diseases, while addressing the important relationship between diet and chronic diseases, could result in changes in demand with adverse impacts on small producers and the agricultural economies of developing countries, since they could become new barriers to trade. As a consequence, the Committee is invited to review the Report together with FAO’s proposal for follow-up.
