Shaping healthier food environments
We live in a food environment that influences how we buy, prepare and consume food. Each day, we are challenged with a ‘foodscape’ that promotes and encourages unhealthy eating and excess energy consumption. It is now widely acknowledged that these unhealthy environments are contributing to obesity and ill-health.
This event explored opportunities to support healthier food choices and ultimately improve population health. Speakers discussed our current food environment and strategies to create healthier environments, sharing experiences that include the retail and advertising environments.
