Cover Story: Low vegetable intake is associated with higher incidence of noncommunicable diseases. This systematic review studied the vegetable consumption and supply in adult populations of 18 years and older globally and compared these data to the existing recommendations. Global vegetable intake is generally below the recommendations of 240 g/day and vegetable supply is mostly inadequate to meet the recommendations. With the current emphasis on consuming plant-based diets, efforts are needed to improve the production, accessibility and affordability of vegetables in conjunction with innovative approaches to establish a sustained behavior change aimed at improving vegetable intake worldwide.View this paper
