How has the global food governance system evolved, and what challenges does it currently pose for food systems transformation? A narrative review and synthesis of the literature
BACKGROUND: Transformative change in the global food governance (GFG) system is essential to address the interlinked crises of non-communicable diseases, social inequities, and environmental degradation that collectively undermine global health and sustainable development. However, this transformation agenda raises important questions regarding how powerful actors and interests, entrenched institutions and institutional legacies, and dominant ide…
An Investigation of the Change in Alignment Between the Health Star Rating Scheme and the Nova Food Processing Classification System and the Australian Dietary Guidelines
Objective: Front-of-Package Labelling informs consumers about the ‘healthiness’ of foods based on different classification schemes. These schemes reflect competing worldviews for assessing a food’s healthiness, represented by nutrient-, food-, or diet-based indices. The Health Star Rating scheme (HSR) has been criticised for failing to appropriately score unhealthy products. Updates to the HSR algorithm were implemented over a two-year period fro…
Development and evaluation of a multidimensional diet quality score for sustainable healthy diets (Susdiet)
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organization recommend reducing the intake of ultra-processed foods whilst promoting diets rich in diverse plant foods and with appropriate amounts of animal products. Yet no existing metric simultaneously captures these dimensions of sustainable healthy diets. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a multidimensional diet quality score for sustainable healthy diet…
The role of policy actors’ belief systems and interests in framing public health nutrition problems
Objective: This study investigated how the belief systems and interests of policy actors shaped their framing of the causes and solutions to obesity and how this influenced policy recommendations. Design: Submissions to the Select Committee on Obesity Epidemic in Australia (SCOEA) were collected, and actors were classified according to their interests in commercial and non-commercial groups. A framework grounded in social constructionism was used…
A quantitative environmental impact assessment of Australian ultra-processed beverages and impact reduction scenarios
Objective: Ultra-processed beverages (UPB) have known adverse impacts on health, but their impact on the environment is not well understood across different environmental indicators. This study aimed to quantify the environmental impacts of water-based UPB and bottled waters sold in Australia and assess the impacts of various scenarios which may reduce such impacts in the future. Design: This study presents a quantitative environmental impact ass…
Ultra-processed food exposure and adverse health outcomes
Corporate interest groups and their implications for global food governance
BACKGROUND: A major challenge to transforming food systems to promote human health and sustainable development is the global rise in the manufacture and consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs). A key driver of this dietary transition is the globalization of UPF corporations, and their organized corporate political activity (CPA) intended to counter opposition and block government regulation. UPF industry CPA and the corporate interest groups …

How power in corporate-industrial meat supply chains enables negative externalities
An analysis of the transformative potential of Australia’s national food policies and policy actions to promote healthy and sustainable food systems
Objective: Despite commitment by many countries to promote food system transformation, Australia has yet to adopt a national food policy. This study aimed to evaluate Australian Federal Government’s (AFG) food policies and policy actions potential to promote healthy and sustainable food systems. Design: This study is a desk-based policy mapping followed by a theoretically guided evaluation of policy actions. This involved three steps: (1) identif…
Knowledge co-production for identifying indicators and prioritising solutions for food and land system sustainability in Australia
Achieving sustainable Australian food and land systems requires the rapid implementation and scaling up of a broad suite of solutions to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Decision-making frameworks are needed to identify suitable indicators and prioritise solutions at national scales to inform sustainability transitions. Using a knowledge co-production framework, we convened 150 stakeholders from 100 + organisations to identify 18 na…
The rise of multi-stakeholderism, the power of ultra-processed food corporations, and the implications for global food governance
The rise of multi-stakeholder institutions (MIs) involving the ultra-processed food (UPF) industry has raised concerns among food and public health scholars, especially with regards to enhancing the legitimacy and influence of transnational food corporations in global food governance (GFG) spaces. However, few studies have investigated the governance composition and characteristics of MIs involving the UPF industry, nor considered the implication…
Non-nutritive sweetener regulation and health
We aimed to understand the process of setting or varying food standards related to non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) in Australia and New Zealand. Overconsumption of added sugars is a risk factor for non-communicable diseases. Limiting added sugar consumption is recommended by the World Health Organization. NNS are sweet substances with little to no energy that can be used to maintain the sweetness of packaged food when added sugar is reduced. The h…
Profiling ultra-processed foods in Thailand
BACKGROUND: Ultra-processed foods (UPF) are associated with adverse health outcomes. This study aimed to analyse the national trends in retail sales, consumer expenditure and nutritional quality of UPFs in Thailand.

Global trends in added sugars and non-nutritive sweetener use in the packaged food supply
Objective: The health implications of excessive added sugar intakes have led to national policy actions to limit their consumption. Subsequently, non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) may be used to maintain product sweetness. We aimed to assess trends in quantities of added sugars and NNS sold in packaged food and beverages worldwide, and the association between these trends and the number of national policy actions across regions to reduce added sugar…
Ultra-processed foods
Modern nutrition science began approximately 100 years ago in the context of nutrient deficiency diseases. Nutrition research and policy activities were framed mostly within a reductionist paradigm in which foods were analysed as being a collection of their constituent nutrients. Today, nutrition problems extend to all forms of malnutrition as well as environmental sustainability considerations and are associated with food and dietary pattern exp…
From harmful nutrients to ultra-processed foods
Objective: The choice of terms used to describe ‘foods to limit’ (FTL) in food-based dietary guidelines (FBDG) can impact public understanding, policy translation and research applicability. The choice of terms in FBDG has been influenced by available science, values, beliefs and historical events. This study aimed to analyse the terms used and definitions given to FTL in FBDG around the world, including changes over time and regional differences…
Ecological regulation for healthy and sustainable food systems
Many are calling for transformative food systems changes to promote population and planetary health. Yet there is a lack of research that considers whether current food policy frameworks and regulatory approaches are suited to tackle whole of food systems challenges. One such challenge is responding to the rise of ultra-processed foods (UPF) in human diets, and the related harms to population and planetary health. This paper presents a narrative …
Complexities and Context of Scaling Up
Background: Scaling up population health interventions is a context-orientated, dynamic and multi-stakeholder process; understanding its influences is essential to enhance future scaling efforts. Using physical activity and nutrition interventions in Australia as case examples, the aim of this paper is to identify core influences involved in scaling up physical activity and nutrition interventions, and how these may differ by context and stakehol…
Constitutional Catechism and the Crowd
The Liberals who came to dominate Patriot Spain’s political life during its War of Independence against Napoleon were much exercised by what they saw as the need to banish ignorance, superstition and servility from the lives of ordinary Spaniards. Those Spaniards who supported Napoleon’s puppet regime, the so-called afrancesados, shared exactly the same sentiment. Both factions were a product of the Enlightenment, yet in practical terms both were…

Identifying effective interventions to promote consumption of protein-rich foods from lower ecological footprint sources
Addressing overconsumption of protein-rich foods from high ecological footprint sources can have positive impacts on health such as reduction of non-communicable disease risk and protecting the natural environment. With the increased attention towards development of ecologically sustainable diets, this systematic review aimed to critically review literature on effectiveness of those interventions aiming to promote protein-rich foods from lower ec…
What are the benefits and risks of nutrition policy actions to reduce added sugar consumption? An Australian case study
Objective: This study aimed to critically analyse Australia’s current and proposed policy actions to reduce added sugar consumption. Over-consumption of added sugar is a significant public health nutrition issue. The competing interests, values and beliefs among stakeholders mean they have disparate views regarding which policy actions are preferable to reduce added sugar consumption. Design: Semi-structured interviews using purposive, snowball s…

Using a Qualitative Vignette to Explore a Complex Public Health Issue
This article discusses how qualitative vignettes were combined with interviews to explore a complex public health issue; that is, promoting unhealthy foods and beverages to children and adolescents. It outlines how the technique was applied in practice and the combination of vignette-based interviews with a broader approach involving Gadamerian hermeneutics. Twenty-one participants from the public health community and the marketing and food and b…
Comparison of the maritime Sites and Monuments Record with side‐scan sonar and diver surveys
Rathlin Island, off the north coast of Ireland, has a history of settlement and seafaring from the Late Mesolithic period to the present day. The maritime Sites and Monuments Record (SMR) for Rathlin indicates many wrecking incidents. In 1999, a reconnaissance side‐scan sonar survey confirmed the presence of 46 targets of possible archaeological potential around Rathlin Island. Thirteen of these anomalies were positively identified as shipwrecks.…

A Q methodology study of stakeholders’ views about accountability for promoting healthy food environments in England through the Responsibility Deal Food Network
Mission Intolerable
Recent scholarship has shown that U.S. policymakers went to war in Vietnam despite full knowledge of problems they would find there. Why then did policymakers set aside their worries and head down a highly uncertain road? This article proposes examining why institutions that criticized U.S. policymaking did not do so as forcefully as they might have. Specifically, it explores constraints that operated within the news media by investigating the co…

The Chinese and the chief's tree
China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) exploits increased permeability of all kinds of boundaries even as old rhetorics of sovereign space are reanimated. This paper examines a very local example of impacts in Kibwezi, Kenya. Regarding more than a century of local land disputes, BRI's "dreamscape" (Jasanoff and Kim, 2015) can be repurposed especially given persistence of sacred geographies of wood and water access. These mathembo landscapes are l…

Poachers turned gamekeepers
This article modifies the associations made by historians and political scientists of Spanish guerrilla warfare with revolutionary insurgency. First, it explains how the guerrilla phenomenon moved from a Leftist to a reactionary symbol. Second, it compares the insurgency and counter-insurgency features of the Carlist War (1833–1840) with those of the better-known Peninsular War (1808–1814). Third, it shows how erstwhile guerrilla leaders during t…
U.S. Conduct in the Vietnam War
Three leading experts on the Vietnam War and U.S. foreign policy offer separate evaluations of Bernd Greiner's book War without Fronts: The USA in Vietnam. The book presents a harsh and controversial appraisal of the conduct of U.S. troops in Vietnam, depicting the My Lai massacre not as an aberration but as one of a long series of atrocities committed by U.S. personnel. The three commentators diverge in their assessments of the book. Andrew Bace…

The Several Aspects of Fire in Achim von Arnim's der Tolle Invalide
In reading Achim von Arnim's Novelle, Der tolle Invalide, one is soon aware of the frequent occurrence of the word Feuer and related expressions. This seems at first to be merely clever word play, but a closer inspection shows that the various aspects of fire are so intimately connected with the events and characters of the story that they reflect the basic structure of the Novelle.' Fire is an unusually complex motif because it is so rich in con…

Transnational Coalition-Building and the Making of the Cold War in Indochina, 1947-1949
One of the most striking contributions of recent scholarship on the origins of the Cold War has been to demonstrate the significant role played by smaller, ostensibly peripheral states on both sides in the creation of the bipolar world. Neither Moscow nor Washington, we now know, controlled developments within their blocs to the degree that historians once assumed; “satellite” regimes, like dog-wagging tails, sometimes wielded considerable influe…

The Uses of Vietnam in the Age of Terrorism
DURING HIS HISTORIC TRIP TO VIETNAM in November 2000, President Bill Clinton proclaimed the end of an era. Finally, he asserted in a speech to Vietnamese students at Hanoi's National University, America is coming to see as your people have asked for years-as a country, not a war.1 Indeed, the United States had made bold efforts in the preceding few years to move beyond old animosities and to deal with as it dealt with other Asian nations. In 1994…
