This scoping review synthesizes evidence on the effectiveness of food system policies in addressing malnutrition, obesity, and environmental sustainability. It identifies interventions like sustainable agriculture and school food programs as "triple-duty" policies with benefits across multiple domains. The review highlights labelling, fiscal measures, and food reformulation as impactful strategies, while noting gaps in research on women's empowerment and environmental effects. The study calls for multi-component interventions and improved policy design to tackle nutrition and sustainability issues simultaneously.
