Governing harmful commodities: the case of ultra-processed foods

该项目旨在产生关于如何影响公共政策的新知识，以减少危害健康的商品--超加工食品的供应和消费。利用治理理论和定性技术，该项目旨在确定在贸易、税收和营销这三个关键政策领域具有影响力的行为者，以及影响澳大利亚、泰国和斐济这些食品消费的行为者。预期成果包括追求这些不同行为者利益的战略，以及能够帮助机构促进更好政策的证据。预期的好处包括澳大利亚、泰国和斐济更好的营养结果。

This project aims to generate new knowledge on how to influence public policy in order to reduce the supply and consumption of a health-harming commodity, ultra-processed foods. Using governance theory and qualitative techniques the project intends to identify the actors who are influential in the three key policy areas of trade, taxation and marketing and who affect the consumption of these foods in Australia, Thailand and Fiji. Expected outcomes include strategies for pursuing these different actors’ interests and evidence that can help institutions to promote better policies. Intended benefits include better nutrition outcomes in Australia, Thailand and Fiji.
