Unpacking food environment policy landscapes for healthier diets in “emerging” countries: the case of Viet Nam
This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of Viet Nam's food environment policies and offers actionable recommendations to foster food environments conducive of healthier diets. Drawing on Viet Nam as a case study representative of challenges in other low- and middle-income countries, our findings highlight the importance of strong political commitment to prioritize public health over industry interests in order to create healthier, more equitable food environments and food systems.
