Funded Activity Summary
Understanding environmental drivers of socioeconomic inequalities in food consumption. The health, economic and social costs of poor nutrition are substantial. The national partnership, the Strategic Inter-governmental Nutrition Alliance, has proposed a strategy, Eat Well Australia, which aims to improve the well-being of Australians through better nutrition. Improving Australians' diet will cut health care costs, improve quality of life, and promote physical, mental and social functioning. In order to improve diet, particularly among those who are disadvantaged, a better understanding of the environmental drivers of inequalities in food consumption is required. Findings will inform the development of policies to increase the availability and accessibility of foodstuffs to supply an adequate and affordable diet for all.Funded Activity Details
