Côte d'Ivoire, like many developing countries, is facing growing food-related public health challenges. Despite economic progress, rapid urbanization and the growing influence of globalization have led to profound changes in eating habits, often to the detriment of health. Ivorian youth are particularly affected by this trend. Young people are exposed to a multitude of food choices, often influenced by the availability of processed foods and fast-food outlets, as well as aggressive advertising campaigns by the food industry. However, there is a growing awareness of the importance of returning to a more traditional, balanced diet, not only to safeguard individual health, but also to ensure the long-term sustainability of public health and the environment.
