We regularly find ourselves in food environments that promote the
consumption of high fat and sugary foods rather than encouraging us
to eat more fruit and vegetables. However, because of increased
media attention, people are becoming more interested in alternative
approaches to improving the many food-related decisions we make
daily. Transforming Food Environments features evidence from
several disciplines exploring initiatives that have improved food
environments and discusses the importance of achieving success in
equitable and sustainable ways. The book presents information on
diverse food environments followed by methods that help readers
become aware of the design of interventions and food policies. It
covers food environments in schools, workplaces, and community
centres as well as fast food establishments and food marketing. The
book presents methods to help encourage better food choices and
purchase of healthier foods. It explores persuasion tactics used by
health professionals such as changing availability and/or price,
using nudging techniques, and food labelling. Led by Editor
Charlotte Evans, Associate Professor of Nutritional Epidemiology
and Public Health Nutrition at the University of Leeds; and written
by an international range of authors from countries including the
US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the United Kingdom,
this multidisciplinary book appeals to students, researchers,
public health professionals and policy makers. It also raises
awareness and provides a comprehensive treatment of the importance
of our environments on food choice.
