23 Jul 2019 --- To promote healthier and more sustainable urban diets and food systems to tackle overweight and obesity, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has inaugurated the World Sustainable Urban Food Centre (CEMAS). The new center is a joint initiative of FAO and the city of Valencia, Spain, to strengthen, advise and coordinate cities around the world in the management and exchange of knowledge on sustainable, local food systems. The move coincides with a study by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) which highlights how food systems need to be overhauled in order to tackle malnutrition.
