Content Inside:
Information for teachers Students should understand that nutritionally adequate food is fundamental for good health, growth and development and that hunger and malnutrition are serious problems with long-term threats to the well-being of people, nations and the world.

Objective 1 provides an overview of basic nutrition concepts and their relationships to hunger and malnutrition. Students may or may not have studied nutrition previously. This is an opportunity either to review or to introduce basic nutrition concepts and discuss the role of food in the body. Food is presented as essential for life, growth and development and such basic body functions as breathing and blood circulation. Food also provides the energy to work, learn and play. The contributions of nutrients are presented in simple, non technical form; more advanced nutrition concepts can be introduced as appropriate. Additional resources include nutrition education information and dietary guidelines developed by FAO, the World Health Organization (WHO) and individual countries.

Objective 2 provides data on hunger throughout the world and helps students to identify those areas in greatest need.

Objective 3 identifies special groups that experience the most difficulty with hunger and malnutrition, and identifies those most at risk of health consequences. Additional information providing an overview of the current world situation is available in "Hunger and Malnutrition in the World" in the Introduction.
