The world is in a global nutrition transition where hunger and obesity often coexist, traditional diets are being displaced, and people increasingly consume cheap ultra-processed foods and sugary drinks. The result is one-third of the world’s population is already overweight or obese.
Vital Strategies works closely with partners in Barbados, Brazil, Colombia, Jamaica and South Africa. We also support work in other countries including India and Ethiopia. Our work helps achieve healthy food policy goals through focused audience research, strategic communication and evaluation.
