Abstract

This chapter explains how our changing world has shaped food systems and diets. Although healthy diets and nutritious foods are essential to health, current global dietary patterns are suboptimal. Over time, changes to global food systems have led to less healthy diets. The “nutrition transition” refers to the significant dietary, lifestyle, and epidemiological shifts that occur as global incomes rise. Changes to global food supplies, environments, and prices have expanded access to both healthy and unhealthy food options for consumers. The transformation of diets and food systems is driven by globalization, trade, urbanization, and consumer preference.
