Marie-Jo Amiot-Carlin, from INRA, presented on the work of her division (400 permanent staff), on eating behaviours, health function, nutrients, microbiota, toxicological aspects, etc. They work in Quebec, Brazil, India, through joint international laboratories. There is a need now to talk about food and nutritional security, not just food security. In the nutrition transition context, in terms of the balance between plant and animal proteins, as well as protein quality issues, the quality of absorption of nutrients is important. Regarding micronutrient deficiencies and hidden hunger, there is a role of some compounds (anti-nutritional) for the bioavailability of vitamins in the whole diet. Finally, there is a role of the microbiome in chronic under-nutrition, and to counteract stunting. We need a double strategy: microbiota and nutrition interventions. Moreover, basic research in nutrition could help to orientate agriculture toward an nutrition-sensitive agriculture and sustain food systems.
