dc.description.abstractNon-communicable diseases (NCDs) became a significant public health problem for Thailand during the last decade. In 2011, cardiovascular diseases and stroke were the leading causes of death among the Thai population. The article reviews past intervention initiatives to curb obesity and the non-communicable diseases associated with it. Current strategies under the National Food Committee are comprehensive, focusing on the links among agriculture, food, nutrition and health with the ultimate goal of food and nutrition security alongside prosperity. More research and capacity development on various issues are still required to support implementation.en
