  Abstract Background Cross-sector partnerships are governance models that are increasingly used in policy, research and practice to address food systems challenges including unhealthy diets. Despite ongoing debates about their value, especially in research, there is limited knowledge on the experiences of participating in these partnerships. This study is set in Norway, a country with tradition for cross-sector collaboration. We examine the Norwegian cross-sector research partnership NewTools to explore participants’ perspectives in an early project stage. The partnership comprises 28 actors from research institutions, food industry, civil society and government agencies, and aims to develop two food profiling models: one for nutrition and one for environmental and social sustainability. This study can help identify initial factors that can influence nutrition-related cross-sector collaboration processes. Methods We conducted qualitative interviews with 17 NewTools-participants in 2022. Interviews were analyzed with reflexive thematic analysis. Results Five themes were identified: (i) “ The importance of being in the room” illustrated participants views on the benefits of cross-sector collaboration, including sharing expertise and influencing project outcomes. (ii) “ Divergent expectations towards collaboration and project aims” reflected varying expectations towards partner involvement and the project outcomes among participants. (iii) “ Viewpoints towards food profiling systems” highlighted differing viewpoints on two food profiling models to be developed, with more skeptical views towards the nutrition profiling model. (iv) “ Power asymmetries and mistrust” suggested potential tensions and some preexisting mistrust among partners. (v) “ Pragmatic approach to COI and conflict management” conveyed that conflicts were considered manageable components of cross-sector collaboration. Conclusions In our study from an early project phase, participants described cross-sector collaboration as valuable and challenges as manageable. They also described potential tensions and mistrust between participants and diverging expectations towards roles and project objectives. These findings suggest that potential obstacles for collaboration were present in the project. This underscores the importance of investing time early in cross-sector research partnerships to clarify roles, align expectations and agree on project goals, which otherwise may turn into obstacles for collaboration between actors with varying mandates, interests, and expectations.

The performance of Nutri-Score as a tool in guiding and evaluating nutritional quality of food procurements for high schools in Norway. Food & Nutrition Research (FNR).

  Background: The Norwegian Directorate of Health has issued school meal guidelines to advocate for the availability of healthy food options. However, awareness and adherence among school officials and canteen staff are low. Moreover, the broadly formulated guidelines complicate evaluation and selection of appropriate foods. Nutri-Score might be a potential tool for guiding and evaluating food procurements. Objective: We aimed to 1) examine agreement between the Nutri-Score and the school meal guidelines, 2) investigate the potential of using Nutri-Score to guide food procurements through proposing food-group-specific ranges, and 3) propose realistic goals for food purchases in value (money spent) for recommended and non-recommended foods based on Nutri-Score distribution in a sample of schools. Design: A list of all foods procured in all high school canteens in Viken County, Norway, from January 2021 to June 2023 was obtained. The Nutri-Score 2023 version was calculated on all products. Based on the school meal guidelines, foods had been classified into three categories by nutrition experts: foods recommended to be offered, foods recommended to be offered in limited amounts, and foods recommended not to be offered. Agreement and disagreement were assessed using boxplots and cross tables. Linear regression presented as scatter plots was used to investigate relevant goals for food purchases. Results: There was overall good agreement between the Nutri-Score and the Norwegian school meal guidelines. We propose that foods with Nutri-Score A and B can be recommended, but for some food groups, such as bread toppings, Nutri-Score C and D can also be recommended. A goal for food procurements could be minimum 65% of total value spent on products with Nutri-Score A or B and maximum 15% on products with Nutri-Score E (C-E for beverages). Conclusion: Nutri-Score could be an effective, complementary tool for guiding and evaluating food purchases in alignment with school meal guidelines

  Objective: The NewTools project aims to support the transformation of the food system by developing summary scores for the nutritional value and environmental and social sustainability of foods and exploring potential applications. In this conceptual paper, we present the governance, objectives, conceptualisation and expected outcomes of the NewTools project. Design: A cross-sector research partnership involving actors across the Norwegian food system. Setting: The need to transform food systems both globally, regionally and nationally. Participants: A broad constellation of twenty-eight project partners includes research institutions, governmental agencies, food industry and Non-governmental organization (NGO). Expected results: Outputs from the project will include the development and testing of a score for nutritional quality using the European Nutri-Score version 2023 as a starting point, identifying of indicators to measure social and environmental sustainability, proposing weighting of these into one or several summary scores, pilots testing potential applications of use for the scores and protocols for relevant spin-off projects. Conclusion: The multitude of perspectives represented by this unique variety of partners is seen as valuable to better understand the opportunities and limitations of the proposed tools designed to foster transformations towards a more resilient and sustainable food system.

  Objective: Partnerships between public, private and civil society actors can potentially address food systems challenges. However, such cross-sector partnerships may require the management of potential tensions and conflicts of interest. This article presents the development and content of a framework for engagement between food systems actors involved in NewTools, a cross-sector research partnership involving twenty-eight partners from research institutions, government, food industry and civil society. The purpose of the framework is to facilitate engagement of partners and maintain research integrity. Design: This two-phased, iterative study was conducted in 2022. It was guided by recommendations for methodological framework development and was informed by existing frameworks and recommendations as well as two rounds of consultations with partners. Setting: The Norwegian cross-sector research partnership NewTools that aims to develop two food profiling models: one for dietary quality and one for environmental and social impact. Participants: Food systems actors involved in the NewTools project. Results: The NewTools framework consists of four main parts: (1) definition of overarching principles for collaboration (transparency, regular information, adhering to defined roles and responsibilities), (2) descriptions of roles and responsibilities of the partners involved, (3) procedures to ensure involvement and transparency and (4) identification and mediation of potential conflict areas. Conclusions: This article provides an example of how a cross-sector research partnership developed a framework to facilitate engagement between partners with different interest within a food system. Future studies are needed to assess the potential value of frameworks for cross-sector research partnerships towards healthier and more sustainable food systems.

  Background: Nutri-Score is a front-of-pack label grading foods and beverages from A to E indicating nutri- tional quality based on the foods’ favorable and unfavorable components, and a contender in the ongoing debate on the possible implementation of a harmonized mandatory front-of-pack nutrition label in the European Union. NewTools is a research project on scoring systems for foods involving 28 partners represent- ing actors involved in the Norwegian food system. Objective: This study aimed to explore views reported by Norwegian food system actors on the advantages and disadvantages with the updated Nutri-Score algorithms for food and beverages (2022–2023). This included Nutri-Score’s performance in ranking foods according to the national food-based dietary guidelines and to the nutritional challenges in Norway. Design: A total of 28 project partners and 15 other food system stakeholders following the NewTools-project were invited to provide responses on the Nutri-Score algorithms and their application on foods and beverages in the Norwegian food composition table. Thirteen written responses were received and analyzed with quali- tative content analysis. Results: The responses to the updated Nutri-Score varied in content, reflecting mainly concerns. Examples of perceived concerns included excessive penalty of salt content; insufficient differentiation based on fat content in meat, sausages, cheese, and milk; and several unreasonable comparisons across food categories. They also expressed a concern that Nutri-Score may stimulate to increased food processing, and some reported inconsis- tencies between Nutri-Score’s classification of foods and national nutrition guidelines and policies. Discussion and conclusion: Several concerns with the updated Nutri-Score algorithms were raised, including the weighting of specific nutrients, unfair outcomes when comparing across food categories, and inconsis- tencies with established Norwegian nutrition guidelines and policies. The results should be interpreted with caution, as some perspectives from the Norwegian food system may be missing.

  Background: Government policies promoting healthier food environments can contribute to healthier diets and prevent obesity and diet-related non-communicable diseases. Objective: To assess the level of implementation of internationally recommended food environment policies in Norway and establish prioritised actions to create healthier food environments. Design: The Healthy Food Environment Policy Index (Food-EPI) was adapted to the Norwegian context. It comprised 45 good practice indicators of government food environment policy and infrastructure support. Systematically compiled evidence of relevant policies was verified by government officials and formed the basis for assessing the level of implementation of these policies compared against international best practice benchmarks. The assessment was done by a national non-government expert panel (n = 35). The experts thereafter proposed and prioritized policy actions for government implementation. Results: Most indicators were rated at a medium or high degree of implementation in both the policy action (69%) and the infrastructure support (77%) components. No indicators were rated as having ‘none or very little implementation’. Among the 14 recommended policy actions, active use of price regulation to increase the price of unhealthy foods and decrease the price of healthy foods was the highest priority. Other top priorities were ensuring healthy food environments in public settings and introducing free school meals. Demonstrating knowledge-based and coherent political leadership in public health nutrition policies was the highest priority among the 11 recommended infrastructure support actions. Conclusion: The overall policies in Norway to promote a healthy diet show a medium to high level of implementation. This study highlights that there is still room for additional improvements in Norwegian policies and infrastructure support to promote healthy food environments.

  Background: Food environments have been recognised as highly influential on population diets. Government policies have great potential to create healthy food environments to promote healthy diets. This study aimed to evaluate food environment policy implementation in European countries and identify priority actions for governments to create healthy food environments. Methods: The Healthy Food Environment Policy Index (Food-EPI) was used to evaluate the level of food environment policy and infrastructure support implementation in Estonia, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, and Spain in 2019−2021. Evidence of implementation of food environment policies was compiled in each country and validated by government officials. National experts evaluated the implementation of policies and identified priority recommendations. Findings: Finland had the highest proportion (32%, n = 7/22) of policies shaping food environments with a “high” level of implementation. Slovenia and Poland had the highest proportion of policies rated at very low implementation (42%, n = 10/24 and 36%, n = 9/25 respectively). Policies regarding food provision, promotion, retail, funding, monitoring, and health in all policies were identified as the most important gaps across the European countries. Experts recommended immediate action on setting standards for nutrients of concern in processed foods, improvement of school food environments, fruit and vegetable subsidies, unhealthy food and beverage taxation, and restrictions on unhealthy food marketing to children. Interpretation: Immediate implementation of policies and infrastructure support that prioritize action towards healthy food environments is urgently required to tackle the burden of obesity and diet-related non-communicable diseases in Europe.

  Government policies that promote healthy food environments are considered promising to reduce socioeconomic inequalities in diet. Empirical evidence of effects on these inequalities, however, is relatively scarce and, with a few exceptions, tends to be inconclusive. We use two contemporary theories that help to understand socioeconomic inequalities in health and health-related behaviours (Bourdieu’s capital theory and Mullainathan and Shafir’s scarcity theory) to reason how policies influencing food environments may differentially impact lower and higher socioeconomic groups. In essence, these theories enable us to understand how specific elements of broader daily living conditions (e.g. social practices that lead to habitus formation, material conditions that shape experiences of scarcity) may lead to a greater benefit of certain food environment policies for the healthfulness of diets of lower or higher socioeconomic groups. We conclude that the application of theories on the mechanisms underlying socioeconomic inequalities in health can help to guide future empirical studies in testing theory-based hypotheses on differential effects of policies, and thereby enhance the development of effective policies tackling socioeconomic inequalities in dietary intakes

  Socioeconomic inequalities in diets need to be tackled to improve population diets and prevent obesity and diet-related non-communicable diseases. The potential of food environment policies to reduce such inequalities has to date however not been appraised. The objective of this umbrella review was to assess the impact of food environment policies on socioeconomic inequalities in diets and to identify knowledge gaps in the existing literature, using the Healthy Food Environment Policy Index as a conceptual framework. The policies considered in the umbrella review are within six domains: 1) food composition 2) food labelling 3) food promotion 4) food provision 5) food retail 6) food pricing. A systematic search for systematic literature reviews on the effect of food environment policies on dietary-related outcomes across socioeconomic groups and published in English between 2004 and 2019 was conducted. Sixteen systematic literature reviews encompassing 159 primary studies were included, covering food composition (n = 2), food labelling (n = 3), food provision (n = 2), food prices (n = 13) and food in retail (n = 4). Quality assessment using the “Assessing the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews” quality rating scale showed that review quality was mainly low or critically low. Results suggest that food taxation may reduce socioeconomic inequalities in diets. For all other policy areas, the evidence base was poor. Current research largely fails to provide good quality evidence on impacts of food environment policies on socioeconomic inequalities in diets. Research to fill this knowledge gap is urgently needed.

  Background: Marketing of unhealthy foods and beverages is recognized as a contributing factor to the global increase in overweight and obesity, particularly among children. Such marketing negatively affects children’s dietary preferences, food choices, purchasing requests, and consumption patterns. Given that little is known about food marketing in Africa, including in Uganda, monitoring children’s exposure to food marketing is essential to generate evidence on the problem and develop meaningful policy responses. The aim of this study was to describe the food and beverage marketing environment surrounding schools in urban and peri-urban areas of Kampala city. Methods: Outdoor advertising around 25 randomly sampled primary and secondary schools within a radius of 250 m of each school was mapped. Information on size, setting, type, and position of the advertisements and the healthiness of the foods and beverages promoted was collected using the INFORMAS Outdoor Advertising Protocol. The occurrence of advertising was described using frequencies, median, and density per 100m2. Results: A total of 1034 branded advertisements were identified around the schools. Of these, 86% featured unhealthy products, 7% healthy products, and 7% miscellaneous products. The most advertised products were sugar-sweetened beverages and alcoholic beverages (51 and 23%, respectively). Schools in the urban area were surrounded by more unhealthy ads than those in the peri-urban areas (median of 45 vs 24 advertisements). Conclusion: The widespread extent of unhealthy food and beverage advertisements around primary and secondary schools highlights the need for food marketing regulation in Uganda, in line with the World Health Organization’s recommendations, to ensure that young people are protected from unhealthy food marketing.

  Food environments are directly linked to diets and health outcomes such as over-weight, obesity, and noncommunicable diseases. The digitalization of food environ-ments is becoming a central issue in public health, yet little is known about thisemerging field. We performed a systematic scoping review to map the research onthe digital food environment and investigate how the eight dimensions of the foodenvironment, according to an established framework (availability, prices, vendor andproduct properties, marketing and regulation, accessibility, affordability, convenience,and desirability), might be shifting in the context of a digital society. We searchedMEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, and Web of Science for studies published between2000 and 2019, using search terms covering digital technology and food environ-ment, which yielded 13,580 unique records. Our analysis of 357 studies shows thatdigitalization is taking place in all dimensions of the food environment, and enablingthe emergence of new forms of buying and selling food, such as online grocery shop-ping and online food delivery, which may be changing availability of foods and affect-ing the physical distance to shops and time allocated for shopping. Systematicreviews identified indicated that digital food marketing and social media can influ-ence food choices, preferences and consumption. Our findings suggest that digitaland physical food environments are interconnected and influencing one another, butthe impact of the digital on health and nutrition is yet unclear.

  Abstract Background Cross-sector research partnerships can be used to address nutrition-related public health challenges, but little is known about experiences from real-world partnerships. Such knowledge may help inform how cross-sector partnerships can promote public health. This study aimed to explore barriers and facilitators for collaboration in NewTools, a Norwegian cross-sector research partnership aiming to develop two food profiling models: one for nutritional quality and one for sustainability. Methods We conducted semi-structured interviews with 18 out of 28 NewTools-partners representing academia, government, the food industry, and civil society. The interviews were conducted in November 2024, three years into the project period. Interviews were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Results Preliminary analyses indicate the following barriers and facilitators for collaboration: 1) Across the partner groups, the partnership was considered a valuable forum for discussing food systems issues. 2) Tensions arose regarding (i) different attitudes towards food profiling models as tools for food systems change; (ii) the relation between developing scientific food profiling models and food policy application, which led to different understandings of the project's mandate; and (iii) differing expectations regarding the involvement of partners in research decisions. Experienced tensions varied between the different partner groups. 3) Disparities in partner group's abilities to engage in the project, as civil society participants reported being hindered by a lack of financial resources. Conclusions This study indicates that cross-sector research partnerships should invest time and resources to ensure that all partners have a common understanding of partnerships’ mandates, goals, and collaboration models. Partnerships could also consider empowering civil society partners to ensure equal participation of stakeholders with varying perspectives and resources. Key messages • Cross-sector partnerships are relevant arenas for discussing public health issues across sectors. • Successful collaboration requires investing in building shared understanding among all partners.

  Hva retten til fullgod mat som menneskerettighet innebærer, har i stor grad blitt fortolket av norske akademikere innen samfunnsernæring og menneskerettighets-jus i nært samarbeid med internasjonale kollegaer og norske myndigheter. Arbeidet har til tider vært nært knyttet til utviklingen av sentrale dokumenter og prosesser i FN-systemet. Dette arbeidet danner grunnlaget for aktivitetene i Kompetansenettverket for mat og menneskerettigheter (KoMM). KoMM har som formål å bidra til økt kompetanse om hvordan ulike aktører kan bruke en menneskerettighetsbasert tilnærming i arbeid med mat, ernæring, matsikkerhet, og sunne og bærekraftige matsystemer for å oppfylle FNs bærekraftsmål – primært i Norge, men også gjennom at Norge opprettholder og viderefører sin aktivitet på de relevante globale arenaene.

  Hva vi velger å spise er påvirket av mange ulike faktorer, deriblant matomgivelsene. Matomgivelsene dreier seg blant annet om hvilke matvarer som er tilgjengelige for oss, hva de koster og hva som markedsføres – alt dette har stor betydning for hva vi velger å spise, som igjen påvirker helsen vår. Matomgivelser kan i stor grad påvirkes gjennom utvikling og implementering av politikk og tiltak. I Norge er usunt kosthold blant de viktigste risikofaktorene for sykdom og tidlig død. Forekomst av fedme øker i den norske befolkningen, både blant ungdommer og voksne. Myndighetene har satt konkrete mål om å bedre kostholdet i den norske befolkningen, og flere tiltak er iverksatt. Denne rapporten presenterer en vurdering av norske myndigheters politikk og arbeid for å skape sunnere matomgivelser opp mot internasjonalt beste praksis. Deretter presenteres anbefalinger for hvilke tiltak som bør prioriteres for å bedre matomgivelsene i Norge. Det overordnede målet er å stimulere myndighetene til økt innsats for å fremme sunne matomgivelser og forebygge overvekt, fedme og kostholdsrelaterte ikke-smittsomme sykdommer. Prosjektet Healthy Food Environment Policy Index (Food-EPI) ble i 2020 gjennomført for første gang i Norge, som del av det europeiske prosjektet Policy Evaluation Network. Et ekspertpanel bestående av 34 uavhengige norske eksperter innen ernæring og folkehelse har vurdert norsk politikk opp mot internasjonalt beste praksis når det gjelder å skape sunnere matomgivelser.
