This project characterises ultra-processed food consumption patterns in Asia, determines whether changing consumption patterns reflect underlying changes in food systems driven by trade liberalization and transnational food and beverage corporations, and investigates if differences between countries can be explained by policy and regulatory decisions that have shaped their respective food systems. It is intended that the findings offer developing Asian countries with key lessons concerning the food systems development in ways that promote healthy diets. This project is funded through Prof Friel’s ARC Future Fellowship.
