Abstract

Food literacy has been used in certain research to define a similar notion as nutrition literacy. This involves comprehending nutrition information and taking action on that knowledge to promote nutrition goals and social well-being. On a broader array, the competence to make decisions that encourage an individual’s health and a sustainable food system while focusing on environmental, social, economic, cultural, and political aspects. Preventing non-communicable diseases and malnutrition necessitates multi-level strategies that encourage individuals to take charge of the variables that are directly within their control, such as improving their dietary patterns, avoiding tobacco, and engaging in physical activity.
