“…Eighteen articles directly mentioned the ‘food environment’ as a concept used to frame their research, whereas the other twenty-eight articles only defined the specific food environment dimensions measured but did not explicitly reference the food environment in their work. Of the eighteen papers that used a food environment framework, nearly half (n = 8) focused on the retail food environment, evaluating the geographic distribution and characteristics of various retailing outlets or products in relation to consumer behaviour and/or nutritional outcomes ( Anggraini et al, 2016 ; Bin Tan and Arcaya, 2020 ; Kelly et al, 2014 , 2015 ; Trinh et al, 2020 ; Wertheim-Heck et al, 2014 , 2019 ; Wertheim-Heck and Raneri, 2019 ). Four articles considered the natural food environment and the importance of wild and cultivated plants on diet and nutrition, mainly in the context of subsistence communities ( Ong and Kim, 2017 ; Pawera et al, 2020 ; Rammohan et al, 2019 ; Reyes-García et al, 2019 ).…”

“…Availability was assessed in all but 5 of the included articles. Multiple sources (n = 6) remarked on the steady annual increase in overall food availability in Southeast Asia ( Baker and Friel, 2016 ; Colozza and Avendano, 2019 ; Goh et al, 2020 ; Harris et al, 2020 ; Schram et al, 2015 ; Trinh et al, 2020 ). Three of those articles also detailed the parallel increase in availability of highly processed, non-nutrient dense foods (NNDFs) with the increased prevalence of NCDs and obesity ( Baker and Friel, 2016 ; Goh et al, 2020 ; Harris et al, 2020 ).…”

The influence of food environments on dietary behaviour and nutrition in Southeast Asia: A systematic scoping review

et al. 2022

Background: Food environments are crucial spaces within the food system for understanding and addressing many of the shared drivers of malnutrition. In recent years, food environment research has grown rapidly, however, definitions, measures, and methods remain highly inconsistent, leading to a body of literature that is notably heterogeneous and poorly understood, particularly within regions of the Asia-Pacific. Aim: This scoping review aims to synthesize the nature, extent, and range of published literature surrounding the role of the food environment on influencing dietary behaviour and nutrition in Southeast Asia. Methods: A systematic search of 5 databases was conducted following PRISMA guidelines for scoping reviews. Eligible studies included peer-reviewed research with adult participants living in Southeast Asia that examined the food environment as a determinant of dietary behaviour or nutrition. Results: A total of 45 articles were included. Overall, studies indicated that dietary behaviours in Southeast Asia were primarily driven by social, cultural, and economic factors rather than physical (e.g. geographical) features of food environments. Food price and affordability were most consistently identified as key barriers to achieving healthy diets. Conclusion: This work contributes to the establishment of more robust conceptualizations of food environments within diverse settings which may aid future policymakers and researchers identify and address the barriers or obstacles impacting nutrition and food security in their communities. Further research is needed to strengthen this knowledge, particularly research that explicitly explores the macro-level mechanisms and pathways that influence diet and nutrition outcomes.

“…Entrepreneurs play a pivotal role in influencing dynamics of consumer preferences and the procurement chain from producers. Supermarkets in Vietnam have increased variety and choice and spending habits on food items depending on incomes (Trinh et al, 2020 ). Accordingly, regions with high consumption of fat and processed carbohydrates experience an impact quality with negative impacts on health.…”

Poverty is a challenge leading to food insecurity in people's minds. This article discusses food governance as a psychological mechanism to facilitate the sense of wellness in people's minds in the context of tourism poverty alleviation. Mainly, we argue that, when a government is implementing tourism poverty alleviation, not only are economic efforts, but also positive psychological feelings are required. We, thus, argue that sound food governance may increase the sense of wellness in the minds of people as food consumers by increasing food safety and security. This perspective paper contributes by explicating the influences of macrolevel governance design of safer and more secure food systems on people's psychological wellness, especially against the background of tourism poverty alleviation in developing countries.

“…A low-quality study shows that per capita household expenditure and proportion of food purchased (rather than self-produced) are positively associated with higher diet diversity and lower shares of carbohydrates in consumed food groups regardless of large, medium, and low numbers of supermarkets in the region. In regions with large numbers of supermarkets, per capita household expenditure is negatively associated with the ratio of fat over protein share in food groups; in other regions positively (Trinh et al, 2020). One qualitative study reflects how higher prices in supermarkets, travel distance and limited storage at home form barriers to supermarket shopping by poor urban consumers in Hanoi, Viet Nam (Figuié & Moustier, 2009).…”

The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), a CGIAR Research Center established in 1975, provides research-based policy solutions to sustainably reduce poverty and end hunger and malnutrition. IFPRI's strategic research aims to foster a climate-resilient and sustainable food supply; promote healthy diets and nutrition for all; build inclusive and efficient markets, trade systems, and food industries; transform agricultural and rural economies; and strengthen institutions and governance. Gender is integrated in all the Institute's work. Partnerships, communications, capacity strengthening, and data and knowledge management are essential components to translate IFPRI's research from action to impact. The Institute's regional and country programs play a critical role in responding to demand for food policy research and in delivering holistic support for country-led development. IFPRI collaborates with partners around the world.
