The shortcomings of traditional regional policies led to a major policy. Thus, regions have become more active in the design and implementation of policies, following a bottom-up approach and involving the participation of the local community in strategic planning, as opposed to the traditional top-down method.

At the Crossroads Between Nutrition and Pharmacology
Functional foods (foods with known bioactive properties) have shown potential for preventive and therapeutic treatments.
