Food hygiene and nutrition

Malnutrition causes the death of more than three million children each year and causes irreversible mental and physical problems for millions of people. Furthermore, on a daily basis, one in eight people go hungry because they do not receive or manage to buy sufficient quantities of nutritious food. Hunger and malnutrition are the enemies of human development and can cause instability and conflict, as reflected not only in people’s quality of life but also from the perspective of the development of societies and the potential growth of their countries. Finding food at affordable prices to ensure health and good nutrition for a growing world population is still a major challenge.
