The role of Food & Beverage companies in improving child nutrition
Children’s nutritional health issues are caused and influenced by a wide range of factors, but the Food and Beverage (F&B) industries must take responsibility to address them.
What can these companies do?
Through their product development and with responsible advertising, businesses have enormous potential for influencing nutritional health across the world.
Global F&B giants also have the resources to support efforts to tackle food poverty. Here are some specific actions they can take:
- Effective stock management can prevent unnecessary food waste
- Unsold edible food can be diverted to community food banks
- Equitable access to products can be ensured by companies, for example, by assessing the impact of moving shops to out-of-town retail parks – which has implications for families with limited transport options.
