To Improve Nutrition and Healthy Eating, We Need to Generate Demand

The Global Burden of disease study (2017) found that approximately 11 million deaths were attributable to dietary risk factors, more than tobacco smoke [1]. [...]there needs to be a shift to a focus on supporting good nutrition by helping people make healthier choices and ensuring those healthy choices are valued and accessible. Sight and Life, a Humanitarian Think Tank, has developed a number of projects and worked with partners in a “whole systems” approach to create an environment that enables healthy choices and encourages individuals to achieve and maintain a healthy diet and weight.
