title: Nutrition and the future of mankind.
abstract: Malnutrition is primarily due to poverty, a manifestation of social injustice with inadequate distribution of resources and services within and between countries. By limiting the capability of poor people to improve their economical and social status, malnutrition helps to perpetuate this situation. A change in developmental policies taking more into account the improvement of living conditions of the poor is needed to correct this social problem.
