The nutritional and health situation of the population is unevenly influenced by a set of social, economic and political determinants that generate and accentuate inequalities. The multiple burden of malnutrition is a reality in certain countries and mainly affects vulnerable groups such as low-income families, women, the black population and traditional peoples and communities. This Policy Brief is a public tool of great relevance to the subject, as it provides readers with detailed information on the main theme, alternatives to mitigate malnutrition, obesity and other health problems, especially among schoolchildren, as well as supporting the strengthening of the Human Right to Adequate Food as a mechanism to reduce the consumption of poor quality food to the detriment of food and nutritional security.
