Discuss the concept and scope of public nutrition

Nutrition' has been used in the past to describe both an input (consumption of nutrients) as well as a set of outcomes. Some of the confusion about the scope of actions to improve nutrition may be cleared up by distinguishing causality and effect. Thus, if nutrition is to be seen as an input, then the focus will be primarily on food. If it is to be viewed as an outcome, on the other hand, then other factors, notably disease, need to be considered. In aiming to reduce problems of nutritional deprivation, it is argued here, the policy focus should be on achieving outcomes rather than pre-defining inputs. This leads logically to the concept of 'nutrition-relevant' actions - those that affect nutrition even if that is not the main objective - rather than the more restrictive definition of an explicit nutrition policy.
