Development and generation of food systems-based dietary guidelines in Costa Rica
The Food Systems Based Dietary Guidelines (GABSA) of Costa Rica are national documents with specific recommendations for the national context in terms of food and healthy and sustainable lifestyles. They form the basis for educational programs and national policies on food and nutrition, as well as cross-cutting aspects involving multiple stakeholders. The GABSAs for the population over 2 years of age are aimed at addressing the main problems in this segment of the population: overweight, obesity, diabetes mellitus, cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
