Nutritional Equity
Nutritional equity refers to the fair access to nutritious food for all individuals, regardless of their socioeconomic status, race, or geographic location. It emphasizes the importance of providing healthy food options in communities that may lack resources, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to maintain a balanced diet.
Achieving nutritional equity involves addressing systemic barriers that prevent certain populations from accessing healthy foods. This can include improving food distribution systems, supporting local farmers, and creating policies that promote affordable fruits and vegetables in underserved areas.
