More Food with Less• By 2050 agricultural production will have to rise

by 70% to meet projected demand (FAO, 2009)

• Since most suitable land is already farmed, the growth must come from higher yields.

• Yet yields of key crops (rice and wheat) show slow rising in intensively farmed region “Yield plateau”

Nutrient Profiling


• “the science of categorizing foods according to their nutritional composition”

• a method of differentiating between foods that are more likely to be part of a healthy diet from those that are less likely (excess consumption of energy, saturated fats, trans fats, sugar or salt)

• For

– Set qualifying criteria for nutrition and health claims and labelling (e.g. Logos)

– Monitor food environment and corporates

Nutrient Profiling Applications

Control of marketing / advertising to Children

school or tax (salt/sugar)

Nutrition & Health ClaimsHighlights

• Health claims on foods must be scientifically

substantiated under EU Regulation 1924/2006.

• The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has

evaluated around 3000 health claims.

• Ca 250 health claims were found to be sufficiently

substantiated.

• EFSA has published guidelines and guidance

documents for health claims.

• All claims that are not authorised or on

hold/under consideration are prohibited.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0924224415301321

Types of N&H Claims• Nutrition Claims (suggest or imply that a food has particular beneficial properties due to

its composition (regarding energy or a particular nutrient). Examples of this type of claim will be: ‘source of’, ‘free of’, ‘high’, ‘low’ or ‘reduced’ in calories or a particular nutrient.)

• Health Claims (suggest or imply that a relationship exists between a food or one of its

components and health. This type of claim mentions the physiological function of a constituent such as ‘calcium can help build strong bones’. The claim must be based on generally accepted scientific data and be well understood by the average consumer.)

• ‘Disease risk factor reduction’ claims (state that a food or one of its

components significantly reduces a risk factor for human disease. For example, phytosterols can help reduce blood cholesterol, hereby reducing a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. For the first time, mention of disease will be allowed on food, but only after approval by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)

Nutrition EducationThe UN Standing Committee on Nutrition

(UNSCN, 2010) concluded that

“for all populations, [nutrition] education andsocial marketing are crucial components of national,municipal and community efforts for sustainedimprovements in food and nutrition security. Theseactivities are often essential to realizing thepotential for nutrition improvement of manyagricultural development projects and programmes.They are also important in countries where obesityand NCDs are increasing.”
