A very detailed presentation on food and health policy is found in Food, the new ecological public health and governance (attached below).
This paper looks at food policy and the choices that face us. In so doing it gives a wealth of statistics on nutrition related ill-health in the UK and internationally, it shows how farming would need to change to meet our nutritional needs, analyses the theory and practice of policy making and its relationship with the evidence base, and argues that we are at a policy making crossroads.

It looks at changes in the structure of the food industry, consumption trends among adults, children and by income group and at some of the conflicts between our nutritional health and environmental goals.
