Assessing Food Environments for Improved Nutrition Outcomes

This document is a poster presentation titled Assessing Food Environments in Low- and Middle-Income Countries—Unlocking the Potential to Improve Diets, Nutrition, and Health Outcomes prepared for the 22nd IUNS-ICN International Congress of Nutrition in Tokyo, Japan, December 6-11, 2022. The poster discusses the importance of assessing food environments in low- and middle-income countries to improve diets, nutrition, and health outcomes. It presents the results of a study that adapted and tested a set of food environment assessments to gather data on multiple market dimensions in these contexts. The assessments aim to identify opportunities to shift market food environments toward nutritious foods, which can positively influence diet, nutrition, and health outcomes.
