What do you understand under a Food Environment and what differentiates food environments in high income countries from those in low and middle income countries?
Please do explain a little more elaborately, so we can respond suitably.
Dear Rui Pedroso,
Your question, How to best characterize Food Environments in developing countries is too general and please write more about your question so that people can have a broader understanding that enables them to anwer your question.
Best Regards

Dear Emmanuel V Murray food environments can be seen as the medium or interface where consumers interact with the wider food system, i.e. how does the exposure to the food environment shapes dietary outcomes. My question is more about: how can we measure the “quality” of a food environment regarding the outcome of a good diet? Which variables can we choose to measure the food environment, especially in LMIC?
In developing countries where we can measure the incidences of malnutrition in infants. This will be done by visiting clinics and noting the children who suffer from kwashiokor and marasmus.
Dear Kiprotich Kiptum thank you so much. A very important point!
Regards
Rui
