Local Levers for Diet and Healthy Weight
OAS recognise that the levers to change our food system exist at local and national level and that actions across the whole system will be required to deliver healthy weight for all in Scotland. This report is one of a series of outputs designed to share learning from the early adopter phase and inform and support future WSA work across Scotland. In considering Local Levers for Diet and Healthy Weight, this report has reviewed the evidence in finding and recommending seven measures which can be utilised as part of a place-based approach to addressing diet and healthy weight.
