Food Policy Development in the Australian State of Victoria: A Case Study of the Food Alliance
International Planning Studies, 2013Co-Authors: Martin Caraher, Kathy Mcconell, Rachel Carey, Mark LawrenceAbstract:This article explores the development of a Food Policy body called the Food Alliance and the role of the organization in encouraging the development of Food Policy that integrates health and ecological issues. The Food Alliance is located within the Australian state of Victoria. A Policy triangle is used as a framework to describe and analyse the work of the Food Alliance. Lessons are drawn about effective strategies for influencing integrated Food Policy. This occurs in a context where Food Policy typically favours powerful industry and agricultural interests and where relationships between the health and environmental sectors are in their infancy. The implications for planning and organizing a state-wide Food Policy are explored from the perspective of Policy and the ways in which this can be influenced through working with key stakeholders.

Public health nutrition and Food Policy
Public Health Nutrition, 2004Co-Authors: Martin Caraher, John CoveneyAbstract:Food in its many manifestations allows us to explore the global control of health and to examine the ways in which Food choice is moulded by many interests. The global Food market is controlled by a small number of companies who operate a system that delivers ‘cheap’ Food to the countries of the developed world. This ‘cheap’ Food comes at a price, which externalises costs to the nation state in terms of health consequences (diabetes, coronary heart disease and other Food-related diseases) and to the environment in terms of pollution and the associated clean-up strategies. Food Policy has not to any great extent dealt with these issues, opting instead for an approach based on nutrition, Food choice and biomedical health. Ignoring wider elements of the Food system including issues of ecology and sustainability constrains a broader understanding within public health nutrition. Here we argue that public health nutrition, through the medium of health promotion, needs to address these wider issues of who controls the Food supply, and thus the influences on the Food chain and the Food choices of the individual and communities. Such an upstream approach to Food Policy (one that has been learned from work on tobacco) is necessary if we are seriously to influence Food choice.

Joined-up Food Policy? : the trials of governance, public Policy and the Food system
Social Policy & Administration, 2002Co-Authors: David Barling, Tim Lang, Martin CaraherAbstract:To address the Policy malfunctions of the recent past and present, UK Food Policy needs to link Policy areas that in the past have been dealt with in a disparate manner, and to draw on a new ecological public health approach. This will need a shift within the dominant trade liberalization–national economic competitiveness paradigm that currently informs UK Food Policy, and the international levels of the EU and the WTO trade rules, and grants the large corporate players in the Food system a favoured place at the Policy–making tables. The contradictions of the Food system have wrought crises that have engendered widespread institutional change at all levels of governance. Recent institutional reforms to UK Food Policy, such as the FSA and DEFRA, reflect a bounded approach to Policy integration. Initiatives seeking a more integrated approach to Food Policy problems, such as the Social Exclusion Unit’s access to shops report, and the Policy Commission on the Future of Food and Farming, can end up confined to a particular Policy sector framed by particular interests—a process of “Policy confinement”. However, the UK can learn from the experience of Norway and Finland who have found their own routes to a more joined–up approach to public health and a sustainable Food supply by, for example, introducing a national Food Policy council to provide integrated Policy advice. Also, at the local and community levels in the UK, Policy alternatives are being advanced in an ad hoc fashion by local Food initiatives. More structural–level interventions at the regional and local governance levels are also needed to address the social dimensions of a sustainable Food supply

preventing Food crises using a Food Policy approach
Journal of Nutrition, 2010Co-Authors: Peter C TimmerAbstract:A Food crisis occurs when rates of hunger and malnutrition rise sharply at local, national, or global levels. This definition distinguishes a Food crisis from chronic hunger, although Food crises are far more likely among populations already suffering from prolonged hunger and malnutrition. A Food crisis is usually set off by a shock to either supply or demand for Food and often involves a sudden spike in Food prices. It is important to remember that in a market economy, Food prices measure the scarcity of Food, not its value in any nutritional sense. Except in rare circumstances, the straightforward way to prevent a Food crisis is to have rapidly rising labor productivity through economic growth and keep Food prices stable while maintaining access by the poor. The formula is easier to state than to implement, especially on a global scale, but it is good to have both the objective, reducing short-run spikes in hunger, and the deep mechanisms, pro-poor economic growth and stable Food prices, clearly in mind. A coherent Food Policy seeks to use these mechanisms, and others, to achieve a sustained reduction in chronic hunger over the long run while preventing spikes in hunger in the short run.

do supermarkets change the Food Policy agenda
World Development, 2009Co-Authors: Peter C TimmerAbstract:Summary Policy makers want supermarkets to serve the interests of important groups in society, especially small farmers and the owners of traditional, small-scale Food wholesale and retail facilities. But consumer issues are also important, including "internalizing" the full environmental costs of production and marketing, and helping supermarkets be part of the solution to the health problems generated by an "affluent" diet and lifestyle. This paper places the supermarket debate in the broader evolution of Food Policy analysis, a framework for integrating household, market, macro, and trade issues as they affect hunger and poverty. Increasingly, supermarkets provide the institutional linkages across these issues.
