Nutrition is a cornerstone of diabetes prevention and management—and an essential component of climate-resilient communities. At Diabetes Awareness Trust, we recognize how climate change impacts food systems, undermining diet quality and accessibility of nutritious foods. Droughts, flooding, and poorer harvests diminish supply of fresh fruits, vegetables, and traditional crops integral to balanced diabetic diets. DAT works to bridge this gap by promoting nutrition-sensitive interventions that sustain both health and resilience—even under climate stress.

By integrating climate-smart agriculture with community nutrition education, we foster diets that support glucose control and overall well-being. We advocate for planting indigenous, drought-tolerant crops and reviving nutrient-rich traditional foods that also thrive under environmental pressures. Through public health messaging and community-led food demonstrations, DAT empowers families to choose affordable, climate-resilient foods that reduce diabetes risk and bolster long-term food security.
