Abstract:
The global burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) continues to grow. Although developing settings face the fastest growth in incidence, no country is exempt from the medical, social, and economic harms of dietary-associated disease. The food environment is a significant determinant in the development of NCDs and is inexorably altered by trade policy and practice.
