Fragments of a nutrition policy are seen throughout the different phases of Tanzania's modern history. Efforts of the pre-Independence period culminated in formation of a committee on nutrition which advocated improving food storage, food legislation and standardization, and nutrition education. After independence, an initial period of concentration on cash crops was followed by increased cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture, and some nutritional surveys were undertaken. After the Arusha Declaration in 1967 a basic needs strategy giving greater stress to food production and adequate nutrition received emphasis, and a Food and Nutrition Centre was established with 4 departments: food science and technology; manpower development; medical nutrition; and planning and coordination. Emphasis on production is reflected in a target of reducing malnutrition by 30 to 50% in every region by 1981, and an interdisciplinary approach is being used to achieve this goal. The basic similarity in proposed activities during the various phases of Tanzania's history indicates that political will is necessary for carrying out the policies.

坦桑尼亚的食品和营养政策

在坦桑尼亚现代历史的不同阶段可以看到营养政策的片段。独立前时期的努力最终形成了一个营养委员会，该委员会提倡改善食品储存、食品立法和标准化以及营养教育。独立后，最初专注于经济作物，随后加强了与农业部的合作，并进行了一些营养调查。1967 年《阿鲁沙宣言》之后，强调粮食生产和充足营养的基本需求战略受到重视，并成立了食品与营养中心，下设 4 个部门：食品科学与技术；人力发展；医疗营养；以及规划和协调。到 1981 年将每个地区的营养不良减少 30% 至 50% 的目标反映了对生产的重视，并且正在使用跨学科方法来实现这一目标。坦桑尼亚历史各个阶段所提议活动的基本相似性表明，执行这些政策需要政治意愿。
