dc.description.abstractThis project aims to provide entry points for policies and programs to improve access to, and consumption of healthy foods. These policy initiatives fall within the scope of a commitment to food sovereignty, which Ecuador introduced to its constitution in 2008 in an effort to improve diets and protect local agricultural production. However, results show knowledge of food sovereignty as nonexistent, likewise awareness of any policies to improve access to healthy food. Affordability could be addressed either by improving linkages between producers and consumers, and by adopting fiscal policies that subsidize healthy foods and tax unhealthy ones.en
