Report, I began reflecting on the meaning of sustainability.
Its been used so often, and in so many contexts, that I wanted
to start this years report by returning to first principles
and defining what sustainability means to meand all of us

The root of the word sustain is defined as cause to continue
for an extended period or without interruption.

Risks to human health from obesity, and noncommunicable
diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular illnesses, are rising.
Contributing factors may include the nutritional profiles of some
food products, high caloric intake, genetics, sedentary lifestyles,
limited access to more nutritious options, urbanization and aging
populations. At the same time, too many people suffer from some
form of undernutrition.
