Abstract

Food environments – the interface between people and the food system – play a critical role in shaping what we eat. Yet, they typically fail to make nutritious food a reality for most people. Consequently, to improve diets and nutrition-related health outcomes, there is an urgent need for policies and related actions to radically improve these food environments. A critical source of research evidence to inform the design and evaluation of such policies is people’s ‘lived experience’, or rather, how people experience the food environments aroundthem, and the actions taken to change them, in the context of their everyday lives. To enhance the policy impact of such (primarily qualitative) evidence, an international ‘Community of Practice on the Lived Experience of Food Environments’ (CoP) was established by the Centre for Food Policy (City, University of London) in partnership with the UNESCO Chair in World Food Systems (Montpellier, France). In February 2021, an online session was convened by the CoP and the Environmental Policy Group (Wageningen University) with an international panel of policymakers and a group of like-minded academics and practitioners, to consider approaches to better translate and communicate such evidence to policymakers and in so doing, how best to increase the chances of our desired impact/s.
