Over 40% of Samoan households can't afford healthy food, driving a nutrition crisis despite availability.
A new report reveals that over 40% of Samoan households cannot afford a healthy diet despite food availability, with nutritious meals costing four times more than basic calorie-only diets.
The high cost stems from limited access to fresh foods and a shift toward imported, processed options, fueling a national nutrition crisis marked by high obesity rates and non-communicable disease deaths.
Adolescent girls and breastfeeding women face the greatest financial barriers.
Recommendations include lowering healthy food costs, expanding nutrition-focused school meals, and promoting community gardens to boost local food production and improve access.
