9. Food Policy: the Key to Achieving Citizens’ Health and Well-being and a Sustainable Food System in the 21st Century
The aim is to explain to the reader why your chosen food policy topic is a problem and to suggest how a food policy approach can lead to solutions. In doing this you should explain what food policy and a sustainable food system is (relate to the topic you have chosen), and how these relate to the ability of a country to feed its citizens and maintain their health and well-being. Topics you can consider choosing as your food policy problem in relation to health and well-being might be : ‘tackling obesity’, ‘preventing NCDs’, ‘the marketing and advertising of food and beverages to children’, ‘the role of public food procurement’, ‘the role of food business in relation to food policy and citizen’s health and well-being’, Try framing these in the context of what food policies will be needed to achieve a ‘sustainable diet’.
You are required to research appropriate literature to gain an understanding of the topics of food policy, sustainable food systems and your chosen food policy problem in relation to health and well-being, and reference the literature in your article.
You also can choose your own topic (above topics are examples)
