Building an economic case for food interventions in the pacific
Snowdon, Wendy, Negin, Joel and Moodie, Marj 2011, Building an economic case for food interventions in the pacific, Pacific health dialogue, vol. 16, no. 2, pp. 24-29.
Diet-related health problems are a major issue throughout the Pacific region. Micronutrient deficiencies are widespread and rates of non-communicable diseases are increasing. There is a need for food-related policy interventions to improve the quality of the food supply and to enhance access to a healthy diet. To support the promotion and eventual implementation of these interventions, it is vital that the costs and impacts of the interventions are known. This paper outlines a project being undertaken in the region to develop cost-effectiveness models for food interventions in order to help build the case for action.
