Implementing Healthy Food Service Retail Strategies: Impact on Health and Non-Health Outcomes
Today, an unhealthy diet is the largest modifiable contributor to ill health and death globally, with substantial impact on health, wellbeing and productivity. One of the key drivers of an unhealthy diet is the pervasiveness of unhealthy food and drink in our daily food environments. Our global lack of progress to date in improving population nutrition underscores the futility of building nutrition skills and education across the community in a context of unchanging food environments. Using data from a number of Victorian organisations, presenter Anna Peters, will discuss emerging evidence for the potential impact of community based healthy food retail initiatives on population health. she will also discuss new evidence on the impact of such policies on business related outcomes such as revenue and customer satisfaction.
