Policy Implications of Plant-Based Diets
Description
Transitioning to a plant-based diet requires more than individual choice to successfully implement, especially at a broader population level. We live in a complex food environment that can make it difficult for people to change their diets. Support is needed from social networks, health-care professionals, government policies, and the food and agricultural industries.
Learn how social support, economic factors, the food environment, food policy and regulations, and even politics, have and continue to influence food production and availability. Discover how these factors may impact our diet and, therefore, the ability to adopt a plant-based diet. Also discussed is how to critique nutrition information in the media.
