An economic framework for thinking through nutrition policy

Nutrition Economics examines nutrition as a policy issue shaped by both individual well-being and public costs. It organizes attention around the economic effects of nutrition and malnutrition, then connects those considerations to the design, implementation, modeling, and evaluation of regulations and policies. The book’s practical orientation lies in identifying the factors that can influence whether a nutrition intervention succeeds or fails. With policy development as its central frame, it offers a structured reference for weighing the economic dimensions that need to be considered when nutrition policies are planned and assessed.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Professionals involved in nutrition-policy development or evaluation
  • Advanced students studying nutrition, food policy, or applied economics
  • Researchers examining the societal and governmental costs associated with malnutrition

Book overview

Nutrition Economics: Principles and Policy Applications establishes the core criteria for consideration as new policies and regulations are developed, including application-based principles that ensure practical, effective implementation of policy. From the economic contribution of nutrition on quality of life, to the costs of malnutrition on society from both an individual and governmental level, this book guides the reader through the factors that can determine the success or failure of a nutrition policy.

Written by an expert in policy development, and incorporating an encompassing view of the factors that impact nutrition from an economic standpoint (and their resulting effects), this book is unique in its focus on guiding other professionals and those in advanced stages of study to important considerations for correct policy modeling and evaluation.

As creating policy without a comprehensive understanding of the relevant contributing factors that lead to failure is not an option, this book provides a timely reference.
