Abstract

In this White Paper, we present the findings from two of the FIO Food project stakeholders’ workshops that we ran at the beginning of 2024. We have co-produced knowledge across academics, stakeholders and consumers' lived experience to formulate actions for policy makers and health care professionals. All of these insights were equally needed to explore potential avenues that can be applied in the food system to promote healthier and more sustainable choices in the food retail environment, particularly among those with greater health risks.

Bibliographical note

Thank you to all the stakeholders and excellent speakers (Heather Kelman, Dr Adrian Brown& Patient and Public Involvement Representatives) who provided extremely valuable contributions in presenting different perspectives on the problem of obesity and food insecurity. Also, a big thank you to NESTA who kindly offered their space, technical support and hospitality for the workshop in London. And a very special thank you to all Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) Advocates who shared their experience of living with obesity and food insecurity, providing often very personal, eye-opening insights which triggered an honest discussion between all attendees involved. We are very grateful to the Food Foundation’s Veg Advocates, Obesity Voices and Nourish Scotland who enabled participation of their PPI groups in the workshops
