Low fruit and vegetable consumption is a major health risk factor, believed by the WHO to have caused 3.9 million deaths in 2017. This underconsumption is a reflection of not only our eating habits but also the food supply chain in general.<\/b><\/p>\n

According to the <\/span>World Health Organization<\/span><\/a> (WHO) and the <\/span>United Nations\u2019 Food and Agriculture Organisation<\/span><\/a> (FAO<\/span>), current food systems do not give everyone access to a healthy, affordable and safe diet. Moreover, these food systems are responsible for a significant share of greenhouse gas emissions (20\u201335%), and are a major cause of land conversion, deforestation and biodiversity loss. <\/span>Beyond having health benefits, numerous studies have shown that fruits and vegetables have a low environmental impact, and a much lower ecological, carbon and water footprint than other food groups. By changing our food systems, and in particular increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables, we can not only improve public health but also address sustainability issues. <\/span>This challenge transcends the national context and implies cooperation with other countries.<\/b><\/p>\n
