title: Nutrition policy development and implementation in Malta.
abstract: The paper highlights experiences in the development and implementation of the food and nutrition policy in Malta. As one could expect there has been tangible progress in certain areas but less so in others. Some background information on the food and health status of the Maltese population is given first as this was the reason for the establishment of the policy in Malta in the first place.
