    Ultra-processed foods, diet quality and human health 2019

    The significance of industrial processing for the nature of food and the state of human health - and in particular the techniques and ingredients developed by modern food science and technology - is generally underestimated. This is evident in both national and international policies and strategies designed to improve populations' nutrition and health. Until recently it has also been neglected in epidemiological and experimental studies concerning diet, nutrition and health. This report seeks to assess the impact of ultra-processed food on diet quality and health, based on NOVA, a food classification system developed by researchers at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

    Bangladesh, a country of 143,999 km2 and with a population of about 130 million people, lies in the northeastern part of Southeast Asia. The flat delta is traversed by a network of 230 rivers; their tributaries flood most of the country during the monsoon season (June-September). It is a country of fish-eating people with very diverse and rich fish farms. It has vast water resources. The fisheries consists of inland capture, marine capture and inland aquaculture. Aquaculture production of 2 64,190 mt represents about 24 percent of the total fisheries production of over 1.0 million mt (1993-94). During the last decade, aquaculture production has increased by over 100 percent. The fisheries sector is very important to the national economy as it generates over US$300 million in foreign exchange, mainly through export of cultured shrimp, in addition to its contribution to national food security. The aquaculture sub-sector has very good potential for further development.
