“…For example, avoiding situations where one faces temptation by planning ahead and avoiding certain stores, aisles or restaurants has proven to be effective (Jain & Li, 2018). Evidence surrounding the requirement for nutrition education within the teaching curriculum is another policy challenge for many countries (Poppitt, 2017), seen to have a positive influence in compliance with nutrition messages, purchasing of healthier foods, consumption of more fruits and vegetables, and greater weight loss (Alston & Okrent, 2017). This proposal is further supported by Bolton et al (2017) who indicated that schools are best prepared and receptive to interventions targeting obesity prevention, as opposed to workplace settings that require significant changes to practices and culture.…”

Advancing food and nutrition public policy in Australia is essential to halt the increasing prevalence of obesity and associated non-communicable diseases. Developing policy in this space however, is often contentious due to the entrenched views of stakeholders from a variety of interest groups. The aim of this research was to explore where the views of stakeholders are convergent and divergent on the issue, analyse the strategies used by stakeholders to influence the development of public policy, and ultimately, make recommendations to optimise the development of food and nutrition public policies. Structured interviews were undertaken with a purposeful sample of 76 stakeholders who were categorised into the following interest groups: government, public health sector, consumer groups, food and beverage industry, and academia. Interviewees were asked about their views on 1) food and nutrition public policy; 2) a variety of policy principles e.g. collaboration and transparency; and, 3) strategies to influence policy e.g. advocacy. Following transcription, the interviews were analysed using a combination of computational linguistics analysis, content analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics, and thematic analysis.
