Strengthening advocacy for public health

A report from the Food Research Collaboration takes a timely look at how civil society can change food systems

In the face of widespread diet-related illness, a powerful food industry and an ever more complicated food system, the role of advocacy for public health has never been more important -- or more challenging. This report looks at the background, identifies some knowledge gaps, and launches a discussion across academic disciplines and civil society on how advocacy can bring about change.
