Cover discussion paper on Livestock-derived foods and sustainable healthy diets

The health and nutrition implications of livestock-derived foods in sustainable healthy diets are complex and highly context-specific. They also vary depending on gender, stage of the lifecycle, commodity and production methods. The UN Nutrition discussion paper unpacks this complexity and explores the interface between livestock-derived foods, human health and the environment.
