Building consumer confidence in the current, and the future food system we desire

Abstract

This speech advocates for the engagement of young people in changing food systems. If Governments introduce policy measures that serve to restrict the promotion of unhealthy foods (for example, foods high in added sugars/sugar sweetened beverages, salt, saturated fats, trans fatty acids) to consumers/children; then production, processing, importation, marketing, or promotion of these unhealthy foods will be reduced making them less available. Food systems must inspire public confidence; they must prevent undernutrition and work with principles in mind: People; Planet; Prosperity.
