With the aid and participation of over 25 countries, the 8th World Conference for the Promotion and Consumption of Fresh Produce will be held in Cali, Colombia, starting September 27. Its major goal is to bring down the annual mortality rate (over 35 million) of people with cardiovascular problems, cancer, diabetes and lung disease.
The event centres around the political promotion of a healthy lifestyle. Colombia’s Ministry of Health has signed an agreement with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and Corporación Colombia Internacional, to develop strategies that promote the production, distribution and consumption of fresh produce.
