Funded Activity Summary

This research aims to develop regulatory approaches to obesity prevention and the reduction of socio-economic inequalities in obesity prevalence. Laws related to the provision, marketing, and labelling of food, urban planning, transportation, taxes and subsidies and so on will be comprehensively analysed and prioritised, and options proposed for legislative reform. The evidence-base and the implementation pathways will be developed contemporaneously and will be widely promoted to governments. A significant portion of time will be devoted to working closely with those within the bureaucracy who administer the law and legislators who together make the relevant policy decisions so that they may gain an understanding of the rationale behind each recommendation.
