The presentation breaks down components of a healthy food environment that could help improve policy and practice. It provides descriptions of factors that can influence dietary transition, with implications for policy. The MEALS4NCDs project (Providing Measurement, Evaluation Accountability & Leadership Support for Non-Communicable Disease Prevention) current focus is to support public sector actions that create healthy food environments for Ghanaian children, for instance, restricting unhealthy food marketing to children and improving school nutrition environments.
