It has become clear that the food environment is greatly shaped by the policy environment, and policy action is needed from governments to shift the food environment towards one that can promote healthy diets among the Canadian population.
This research aimed to evaluate policies and actions that federal, provincial and territorial governments are taking to create a healthier food environment in Canada, and to prioritize areas for action to address current policy gaps.
