Building momentum: lessons on implementing evidence-informed diet related policies

A series of reports to help policymakers overcome common barriers to implementing evidence-informed diet-related policy.

The Building Momentum series takes the lessons learned from governments who have implemented evidence-informed policies and collates them with published literature to succinctly outline how to design and implement a robust nutrition policy.

There are 3 reports which focus on diet-related policy:

  • Restrictions of food and non-alcoholic beverage marketing to children (2020)
  • A robust front of pack label (2019)
  • A sugar sweetened beverage tax (2018)

There is also a Building Momentum report focused on Establishing robust policies to promote physical activity in primary healthcare (2023).

Policymakers, academics and advocates from around the world are interviewed to inform the series, providing essential guidance on how to overcome common barriers and challenges in the policy process.

Policymakers face increasing barriers and challenges to introducing and implementing such policies, and this research seeks to establish ways to help policymakers overcome these barriers and challenges.
