Diet is a fundamental component of health, and dietary habits are closely linked with the development of chronic disease and obesity. The

food environment

in which people make their food choices plays a major role in establishing eating habits and overall diet quality. Broadly defined as the physical, economic, policy and socio-cultural surroundings, opportunities and conditions that influence food choices and nutrition status, the food environment can promote or impede healthy diets.

The current food environment in Canada does not consistently support healthy food choices, which is reflected in the overall poor dietary habits of Canadians. Nationally and internationally, greater attention is being paid to how the food environment can be shifted towards one that is conducive to healthier food patterns.
