Nutrition

Key points

  • Australia experiences diet-related diseases due to poor-quality diets.
  • A reporting focus on agricultural production and exports has distracted from the nutritional purpose of food, and risks accessibility and affordability issues being overlooked.
  • Better recognition of the influence of food environments on dietary choices is likely to enable improvements in nutrition and health.
