EVS

Fruits and vegetables are the cornerstone of a healthy and varied diet. “As the COVID-

to lower the risk of corona virus disease.

The UN has declared this year as the International Year for fruits and Vegetables (IYFV). The

IYFV 2021 is a unique opportunity to raise awareness on the important role of fruits and

vegetables in human nutrition, food security and health and as well in achieving UN Sustainable

Development Goals.
