Can voluntary standards improve sustainability and welfare in the UK lamb sector? A survey analysis situated in the institutional context
Purpose This study aims to analyse the potential and limitations of voluntary standards to improve environmental sustainability and welfare in the UK lamb sector. It addresses the following questions: (1) How do consumers value climate and animal welfare standards and related labels for UK lamb? (2) To what extent can existing and hypothetical voluntary standards promote sustainability (including animal welfare) in the UK lamb sector? Design/meth…

Opportunities and challenges for financing women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health in the context of climate change
Women, children and adolescents (WCA), especially in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), will bear the worst consequences of climate change during their lifetimes, despite contributing the least to global greenhouse gas emissions. Investing in WCA can address these inequities in climate risk, as well as generating large health, economic, social and environmental gains. However, women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health (WCAH) is cur…
Climate and health
Leveraging the co-benefits of investments in health and climate can be best achieved by moving away from isolated financing approaches and adopting co-financing strategies, which aim to improve the outcomes of both sectors. We propose a framework for studying co-financing for health and climate that considers the degree of integration between sector funding, and whether arrangements are ‘passive’, when cross-sectoral goals are indirectly affected…

Escaping the Red Queen
Public health advocates highlight the role of corporate actors and food marketing in shaping diets and health. This study analyses insider-oriented communications in food industry magazines in the UK to analyse actions and narratives related to health and nutrition, providing insights into relatively overlooked areas of marketing strategy including inter-firm dynamics. From a sample of four specialized food industry magazines covering the main in…
Trading water
Cereals are an important component of the Indian diet, providing 47% of the daily dietary energy intake. Dwindling groundwater reserves in India especially in major cereal-growing regions are an increasing challenge to national food supply. An improved understanding of interstate cereal trade can help to identify potential risks to national food security. Here, we quantify the trade between Indian states of five major cereals and the associated t…
Economic globalization, nutrition and health
BACKGROUND: Unhealthy dietary patterns have in recent decades contributed to an endemic-level burden from non-communicable disease (NCDs) in high-income countries. In low- and middle-income countries rapid changes in diets are also increasingly linked to malnutrition in all its forms as persistent undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies continue to coexist with a rising prevalence of obesity and associated NCDs. Economic globalization and t…
International trade, dietary change, and cardiovascular disease health outcomes
United Nations (UN) member states have, since 2011, worked to address the emerging global NCD crisis, but progress has, so far, been insufficient. Food trade policy is recognised to have the potential to impact certain major diet-related health and environmental outcomes. We study the potential for using import tariff protection as a health and environmental policy instrument. Specifically, we apply a rigorous and consistent Macroeconomic-Environ…
Analysing the policy space for the promotion of healthy, sustainable edible oil consumption in India
Objective: To identify opportunities and challenges for the promotion of healthy, sustainable oil consumption in India. Design: We use a framework for policy space analysis which distinguishes between policy context, process and characteristics. Setting: We focus on the Indian edible oils sector and on factors shaping the policy space at a national level. Participants: The study is based on the analysis of policy documents and semi-structured int…
Palm oil and dietary change
Palm oil is a cooking oil and food ingredient in widespread use in the global food system. However, as a highly saturated fat, palm oil consumption has been associated with negative effects on cardiovascular health, while large scale oil palm production has been linked to deforestation. We construct an innovative fully integrated Macroeconomic-Environmental-Demographic-health (MED-health) model to undertake integrated health, environmental, and e…
