Fruits and vegetables have long been recognized as an important part of the diet, but their consumption remains below recommended levels in many parts of the world, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
To understand why this is so, A4NH researchers at Wageningen University & Research investigated the consumption of fruits and vegetables worldwide, paying particular attention to low- and middle-income countries, conducting a comprehensive literature review on the drivers, food system components, and food system outcomes related to fruit and vegetable consumption.
Their findings are detailed in a new report, "Fruit and Vegetable Consumption in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A comprehensive review of fruit and vegetable intake and determinants using a food systems approach."
