28 Nov 2019 --- A global move back to traditional ways of eating, over prescribed diets and fast food, is necessary to advance toward a food system that respects the environment, culture and the human health. This was the main sentiment put forward at an UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)-supported event in Rome, Italy. Director-General Qu Dongyu appealed to the event attendees – nutritionists, diet-related experts, UN agents and academics – to join FAO’s efforts in establishing food systems that are more nutritious and inclusive to produce “food that not only feeds the people but also nourishes them.”
