The workshop was convened to gain a better understanding of the influence of globalization and urbanization on food systems ( food supply, marketing and distribution) in developing countries and to analyse the effects of these changes on smallholders and small firms, on food consumption patterns and on NUTRITION and health outcomes.

8 The event was jointly organized by two divisions within FAO, representing two sectors: the Agricultural and Development Economics Division, examining key economic issues, and the food and NUTRITION Division, addressing health and NUTRITION outcomes. Thus, two parallel themes were explored: i) the transformation of food systems and its effect on small farmers in developing countries and ii) the impact of globalization, largely influenced by urbanization, on dietary patterns and the nutritional status of urban populations. The workshop was partially funded through the FAO- Netherlands Partnership Programme.

9 This publication examines in detail the second theme, related to features of globalization, changes in dietary patterns and shifts in the burden of malnutrition and diet-related chronic diseases. It comprises a synthesis PAPER bringing together the salient features of the impact of the globalization process on NUTRITION and reflecting some of the discussions at the workshop, three overview papers and 11 country case studies that were presented at the workshop. The overview papers describe shifts in food availability, food consumption and food and NUTRITION security in the urban environment.

10 The topics are further explored through a series of 11 country case studies from Africa (Nigeria, the United Republic of Tanzania and South Africa), Asia (Bangladesh, China, India, and the Philippines) and the Pacific (Fiji) and Latin America (Brazil, Chile and Colombia). Each case study presents unique insights on different aspects of globalization, including urbanization, access to services and technologies, evolution of the workforce and impact of government decentralization on dietary changes and alterations in population health and nutritional status.
