Advocacy and policy
The article discusses UNICEF Argentina’s advocacy efforts to combat malnutrition among children and adolescents by promoting Front-of-Pack (FOP) labelling legislation. Rising rates of childhood overweight, obesity, and unhealthy food consumption patterns prompted UNICEF to advocate for regulations mandating warning labels on foods high in sugars, fats, sodium, and calories. The initiative also supports comprehensive nutrition education reforms to improve school food environments and empower children and adolescents to make healthier choices.
