This discussion aims to explore the causes of malnutrition, including poverty, lack of education, and cultural practices that influence dietary habits. Participants will examine the types of malnutrition prevalent in the community—such as undernutrition, overnutrition, and micronutrient deficiencies—and their short- and long-term impacts on young people’s health and development. The dialogue will also highlight the roles of families, schools, local leaders, and youth in promoting better nutrition while addressing barriers like limited access to healthy foods and inadequate nutrition education.
