Food Impact Assessment

Food Impact Assessment is a systematic approach to evaluate how food systems affect public health, the environment, and communities. It looks at factors like how food production influences land use, water resources, and climate change, as well as how food access affects nutrition and health outcomes. By analyzing these impacts, policymakers can make informed decisions to improve food systems, promote sustainability, and enhance the overall well-being of populations. Essentially, it helps stakeholders understand the broader effects of food-related choices and policies.
