Policy actions to support enhanced consumer behaviour for high-quality diets

This brief from the Global Panel on Agriculture and Food Systems for Nutrition calls on both public and private sectors to improve consumer decisions. The evidence-based policy recommendations in this brief centre around four goals: 

• Establish national standards for healthy, high-quality diets through Food-Based Dietary Guidelines;
• Educate consumers to make healthier dietary choices: government, civil society, and business can all participate in consumer awareness campaigns that promote healthy diets; 
• Enable low-income consumers to attain higher quality diets though social protection; 
• Engage business on labeling standards.
