Passage- 3

Many people are not eating the right food. For some, it is simply a decision to stick with food they enjoy but which is not too healthy. This is leading to an increase in non-communicable diseases. This in turn leads to major burden on our health-care systems that have the potential to derail the economic progress which is essential for the poor to improve their lives. For others, it is about limited access to nutritious food or a lack of affordability, leading to monotonous diets that do not provide the daily nutrients for them to develop fully. Part of the reason nutrition is under threat worldwide is that our food systems are not properly responding to nutritional needs. Somewhere along that long road from farm to fork, there are serious detours taking place.

परिच्छेद-3

बहुत से लोग सही आहार नहीं ले रहे हैं । कुछ का तो बस यही निर्णय है कि वही भोजन लेंगे जो उन्हें अच्छा लगता है, लेकिन जो बहुत स्वास्थ्यप्रद नहीं है । इससे असंक्रामक रोगों में बढ़ोतरी हो रही है । इसके फलस्वरूप हमारी स्वास्थ्य देखभाल व्यवस्थाओं पर बहुत बड़ा बोझ आ जाता है, जिसमें उस आर्थिक प्रगति को, जो ग़रीबों के लिए उनके जीवन-स्तर को उन्नत करने हेतु आवश्यक है, अस्त-व्यस्त कर देने की संभावना है । अन्य लोगों के लिए, समस्या पौष्टिक भोजन तक सीमित पहुँच अथवा पहुँच की गुंजाइश न होने की है, जिससे एकरस खानपान बन जाता है जो उनके पूर्ण विकास के लिए आवश्यक दैनिक पोषक तत्त्व प्रदान नहीं करता । पूरी दुनिया में पोषण पर खतरा होने का कारण आंशिक रूप से यह है कि हमारी खाद्य पद्धतियाँ समुचित रूप से हमारी पोषण ज़रूरतों के अनुरूप नहीं हैं। खेत से थाली तक के लंबे सफ़र में चिंताजनक विचलन हो रहे हैं।
