fruit and vegetables in the world for everyone to have healthy diet, new study reveals

Scientists say switch to healthier crops and plant-based proteins required to provide humanity with balanced diets in future. The world is not growing enough fruit and vegetables for everyone to eat healthily, according to a new study.

A global appetite for fat and sugar, alongside a surge in grain production to feed developing countries, has led to a system that cannot provide balanced diets for all.

In order to feed the world’s rapidly expanding population with healthy diets, the scientists said more fruit and vegetables must be produced alongside a shift to plant-based proteins.
