Abstract

Grains are central to food systems in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Their predominant consumption in refined form contributes to the double burden of malnutrition and wastes precious food and natural resources in a world challenged by growing food insecurity and accelerating climate change and biodiversity loss. Shifting consumption from refined grain foods to fortified whole grain and whole blend foods can improve food security and make diets healthier. This would also make food systems more efficient and resilient, and help mitigate the food crisis. School meal programs and other institutional and safety net markets offer the best entry points to initiate this necessary shift in food systems within LMICs.

强化全谷物和全混合谷物：粮食系统的及时转变

谷物是中低收入国家粮食系统的核心。在粮食不安全日益加剧、气候变化和生物多样性丧失加速的挑战下，谷物以精制形式为主的消费造成了营养不良的双重负担，并浪费了宝贵的粮食和自然资源。将精制谷物食品的消费转向强化全谷物和全混合食品，可以改善粮食安全，使饮食更健康。这也将提高粮食系统的效率和复原力，有助于缓解粮食危机。学校供餐计划以及其他机构和安全网市场为在低收入和中等收入国家的粮食系统中启动这一必要转变提供了最佳切入点。

期刊介绍： Global Food Security plays a vital role in addressing food security challenges from local to global levels. To secure food systems, it emphasizes multifaceted actions considering technological, biophysical, institutional, economic, social, and political factors. The goal is to foster food systems that meet nutritional needs, preserve the environment, support livelihoods, tackle climate change, and diminish inequalities. This journal serves as a platform for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to access and engage with recent, diverse research and perspectives on achieving sustainable food security globally. It aspires to be an internationally recognized resource presenting cutting-edge insights in an accessible manner to a broad audience.
