Retail environment
Authors David Reynolds, Jeremy Farr, Lilly Lim-Camacho and Charley Xia
Key points
- Convenience strongly shapes how Australians source their food – mostly from supermarkets.
- Economic and geographic disparities in food access mean that not all Australians are served equally well by existing food environments.
- Australians have low awareness of the impact that food environments have on dietary choices and health outcomes, and targeted reporting could help to address this.
- A coherent vision for the future of Australia’s food environments will be a key part of achieving food system goals.
