Food and beverage price promotions: An untapped policy target

我们的目标是提供证据，说明价格促销对被认为与人类和地球健康有关的食品和饮料的影响。我们进一步旨在确定是否以及如何设计政策来减少这些类型的价格促销，并从一系列角度了解这样做的可行性和可接受性。这个项目意义重大——不健康饮食是导致疾病和死亡的主要原因，不健康食品占与食品有关的环境足迹的30%。通过了解这一新的政策目标是否以及如何设计来改善人口的食物选择，该项目最终将通过改善饮食选择为人类和地球带来好处。

We aim to generate evidence on the influence of price promotions on foods and beverages considered to be of concern for human and planetary health. We further aim to identify if, and how, policies can be designed to reduce these types of price promotions and understand the feasibility and acceptability of doing so, from a range of perspectives.The significance of this project is substantial - unhealthy diets are the leading cause of disease and death and unhealthy foods account for >30% of the food-related environmental footprint. By understanding if, and how, this novel policy target can be designed to improve population food choices, this project will ultimately deliver benefits for human and planetary through improved dietary choices.
