This book presents two sets of analytical work to further our understanding of the links between public support in the agrifood sector and healthy diets. While the analytical work here is mostly suggestive, it paves the way for more in-depth research to unpack the relationship of agrifood support with healthy diets. The first set of analytics uses cross-country estimations to assess the potential correlation of agrifood public support with healthy diets for an average country. The second set of analytics uses within-country estimations to assess the correlation of agrifood public support with healthy diets in the context of a particular country. The overall principles that underpin these analyses are: (1) that not all types of agrifood public support are the same, (2) that not all types of food commodities are the same, (3) that the impacts of a given type of support can vary depending on the type of food commodity, and (4) that the impacts of various policy options on healthy diets will vary across countries. These analytics help to foster more dialogue and a deeper exploration of the links between agrifood support and healthy diets.
