Nestl? has joined scientific and public health experts in calling for the creation of more community-based programmes to prevent childhood obesity.
According to Nestl?, the company is taking part in the Global Obesity Forum in New York to discuss evidence suggesting multi-stakeholder collaborations promoting healthy nutrition and physical activity are among the most successful ways to address the issue.
The event aims to provide international stakeholders committed to the prevention of childhood obesity with an important opportunity to share knowledge and best practices.
It is the first major forum organised by the EPODE International Network (EIN), the world?s largest obesity prevention network.
All members of the EIN ? which connects community-based obesity prevention programmes in 25 countries including Australia, Brazil, Chile and Poland ? will be represented at the forum.
The network?s goal is to support 40 large-scale community-based programmes on five continents by 2015.
Complex problem
?Childhood obesity is a complex problem driven by multiple social, economic and environmental factors,? said Janet Vo?te, Nestl??s Global Head of Public Affairs.
