Abstract

This chapter presents the global nutrition challenges and analyzes the trend in nutritional indicators. It also provides definitions for nutritional indicators, and clarifies the age-old confusion of terminologies such as hunger, food insecurity, malnutrition, over-nutrition, under-nutrition, and hidden hunger. A common set of definitions can help readers from various disciplines to speak the same language on nutrition challenges and solutions. It connects the global nutrition challenges to the recent efforts to address them through global and regional approaches, including the newly agreed upon sustainable development goals.
