Healthy Eating Challenges and NCD Prevention Across Asia-Pacific
Unhealthy diets remain one of the biggest drivers of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), obesity, and food insecurity. Across Asia-Pacific, communities face barriers such as changing lifestyles, limited food literacy, and unequal access to nutritious food. INHPF members are responding with evidence-based, people-centered strategies that make healthy eating more accessible for all.
