What Are Some FAO Initiatives That Impact Cancer Risk?
Several FAO initiatives are directly related to reducing cancer risk:
Food safety programs: Ensuring the safety of food supplies by monitoring and controlling contaminants, such as pesticides and heavy metals. Nutrition education: Promoting awareness about the importance of a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Sustainable agriculture: Encouraging farming practices that reduce the use of harmful chemicals and promote biodiversity. Livestock management: Implementing practices that reduce the risk of zoonotic diseases and the use of antibiotics, which can contribute to antibiotic resistance and increase cancer risk.
