Out now! Our latest paper explored whether Food Policy Groups in other high-income countries were impactful on local food systems. These mechanisms created many local solutions to local food problems.

Our new paper asserts future directions for rural nutrition and dietetics research. It was great to continue our national rural nut & dietetics collaboration - we need rural-specific methods, tools and teams to drive relevant research.
