Sustainable Food System Chapters in Trade and Investment Agreements: Lessons on Policy Innovation
The need to adapt existing global policy instruments to achieve sustainable development objectives is increasingly recognised worldwide. Responding to the global need to help countries progress towards transforming food systems, the EU proposed, negotiated and agreed to adopt a chapter dedicated to Sustainable Food Systems in its free trade agreement with New Zealand and its advanced framework agreement with Chile. This study aimed to identify th…
Menu item prices and promotions offered on a meal delivery app in the UK and their socio-economic patterns
Objective: To describe menu item prices and promotions on a meal delivery app in the UK and explore their socio-economic patterns. Design: Cross-sectional descriptive analysis Setting: We analysed over 21 million menu items from 71 532 food outlets listed on JustEat across the UK. We assessed median prices and types of promotions, examining variations by cuisine (e.g. chicken dishes, pizza) and outlet type (i.e. grocery, chain takeaways). Promoti…
Strategic Design of Public Food Procurement to Leverage Positive Food Systems Outcomes: A Framework of Actions
There is substantial potential for the procurement of food by public institutions to contribute to Sustainable Development across multiple environmental, social, and economic outcomes. In this study we used theories of policy instrumentation and learning to analyse global guidance for designing public food procurement instruments to leverage positive food systems outcomes, with the aim of informing strategic policy design. We identified 15 discre…
From Ministries of Food to National Food System Committees: A Global Mapping and Typology of Multisectoral Food System Governance Institutions
Transforming the ways food systems are governed is key to achieving better social, environmental, and economic outcomes, all crucial to sustainable development. Strong multisectoral governance is critical to achieving this, but there is little evidence on the structure and function of governance mechanisms in this context. We undertook a policy review of 197 countries globally to map existing multisectoral food system governance institutions, dev…
Identifying the factors influencing the development of bilateral investment treaties with health safeguards: A Machine Learning-based link prediction approach
A network analysis approach, complemented by machine learning (ML) techniques, is applied to analyse the factors influencing Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) at the country level. Using the Electronic Database of Investment Treaties, BITs with health safeguards from 167 countries were charted, resulting in 534 connections with countries as nodes and their BITs as edges. Network analysis found that, on average, a country established BITs with …
Exploring educational inequalities in hypertension control, salt knowledge and awareness, and patient advice: Insights from the WHO STEPS surveys of adults from nine Eastern European and Central Asian…
Objective: To inform strategies aimed at improving blood pressure (BP) control and reducing salt intake, we assessed educational inequalities in high blood pressure (HBP) awareness, treatment and control; physician’s advice on salt reduction; and salt knowledge, perceptions and consumption behaviours in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Design: Data were collected in cross-sectional, population-based nationally representative surveys, using a mult…
Projecting cardiovascular deaths averted due to trans fat policies in the Eurasian Economic Union
Objective: To demonstrate the potential impact on population health if policies designed to reduce population trans fatty acid (TFA) intake are successfully implemented in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) in line with the WHO’s guidelines to lower intake of TFA as a percentage of total energy intake to less than 1 %. Design: A projection exercise was conducted to estimate reductions in CVD-related deaths in countries of the EAEU if TFA policies…
Consensus-building around the conceptualisation and implementation of sustainable healthy diets: A foundation for policymakers
The prioritised actions should be aimed at helping government policymakers promote sustainable healthy diets and make decisions on improving dietary patterns for citizens' health and wellbeing in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in the European Region
Developing an online food composition database for an Indigenous population in south-western Uganda
Objective: To develop an online food composition database of locally consumed foods among an Indigenous population in south-western Uganda. Design: Using a community-based approach and collaboration with local nutritionists, we collected a list of foods for inclusion in the database through focus group discussions, an individual dietary survey and markets and shops assessment. The food database was then created using seven steps: identification o…
High sugar content of European commercial baby foods and proposed updates to existing recommendations
The aim was to determine whether commercial baby foods marketed within Europe (up to 36 months of age) have inappropriate formulation and high sugar content and to provide suggestions to update European regulations and recommendations as part of a nutrient profile model developed for this age group. The latter was produced following recommended World Health Organization (WHO) steps, including undertaking a rapid literature review. Packaging infor…
Comparison of consumed portion sizes and on-pack serving sizes of UK energy dense foods
Comparison of high and low trans-fatty acid consumers: Analyses of UK National Diet and Nutrition Surveys before and after product reformulation
Objective The WHO encourages the virtual elimination of artificial trans -fatty acids (TFA), which increase CHD risk. Our UK analysis explores whether voluntary reformulation results in differential TFA intakes among socio-economic groups by determining characteristics of high TFA consumers before and after product reformulation. Design Food intake was collected by 7d weighed records pre-reformulation and 4d diaries post-reformulation. Sociodemog…
