The National Nutrition Policy of Belize aims to improve the nutritional status of Belize’s population by 2033. This will be done by reducing malnutrition, promoting healthy eating habits, and forming a multi-sectoral approach to ensure access to safe and nutritious food. Strategies include implementing and strengthening a nutritional surveillance system that includes overweight and obesity and capacity building for nutritional services and programmes.
