Its remit is wide, everything from farm to fork. They are interested in the impact that the food supply chain has on human/public health, the environment, social justice and the public good.
Martin is Reader in food and health policy at the Center for Food Policy at City University. He has worked extensively on issues related to food poverty, cooking skills, local sustainable food supplies, the role of markets and co-ops in promoting health, farmers markets, food deserts & food access, retail concentration and globalisation.

FOOD PRO-FIT
"FOOD PRO-FIT" is expected to contribute to obesity and overweight prevention by stimulating food innovation and reformulation among small and medium food service providers and food manufacturers, thereby offering a wider choice of healthy products to citizens and thus ultimately leading to changes in food.The HANCP tool (Hazard Analysis Nutritional Control Points) is directed at food manufacturing companies and HORECA channel (Hotels, Restaurants and Catering) as well. This will help them in evaluating the nutritional risk of their foods and recipes, as regards free sugars, saturated fats and sodium (salt) and the rules affecting claims made on the nutritional profile of food products. The next updated version of the tool will include the evaluation of daily and weekly menus which will provide an added value in canteens and school dining rooms (not included in the current version).

Guidelines for the Prevention of Obesity at the Workplace (GPOW)
The main goal of the GPOW project was the identification of the obesogenic nature of different workplaces along with the provision of guidelines for the prevention of obesity at the workplace. The GPOW consortium conducted an in depth exploration of how work and work conditions influence weight outcomes among employees through original research and extensive analysis of existing data. Therefore, the project provides a valuable framework to stakeholders for the design and implementation of effective Workplace Health Promotion Programs (WHPP). The end product of the project is a set of evidence-based guidelines for the prevention of obesity at the workplace, which is a useful instrument for employers and employees as it:
- Outlines the most prevalent obesogenic factors per work sector affecting or leading to obesity;
- Outlines the most effective interventions for the prevention of obesity at the workplace;
- Provides practical recommendation on specific evidence-based strategies per workplace sector;
- Outlines the stages of workplace health promotion planning, implementation and evaluation;

The Swedish National Food Administration - the KeyHole Restaurant Association – Key Hole Programme
The National Food Administration’s keyhole symbol is there to help consumers identify the healthier options when buying food or eating out. Foods labeled with the keyhole symbol are leaner and contain less sugars and salt and more fibre than food products of the same type
not carrying the symbol. By choosing foods with the keyhole symbol it is easier for consumers to improve their diet, which can lead to better health now and in the future.
The keyhole is a voluntary label. Food producers are themselves responsible for ensuring that foods with the keyhole symbol conform to National Food Administration regulations.
Keyhole labelling in restaurants is also voluntary, but the restaurants need to go through a certification process to use the keyhole. The National Food Administration has established a new certification body aimed at assuring the quality of the restaurants. The non-profit organization “the KeyHole Restaurant Association” was established in January 2009. Founders in addition to the National Food Administration is the Swedish National Institute of Public Health (FHI) The Swedish Hotel and Restaurant Association (SHR), The Swedish Food Federation (Li), The Swedish Food Retail Federation (DLF), School of Hospitality, Culinary Arts & Meal Science Örebro University Campus Grythyttan and Culinary Arts and Food Sciences Kristianstad University.
The keyhole label was in June 2009 also introduced in Denmark and Norway. Iceland may join the scheme later but Finland already has a similar label, the ‘Heart’.The national authorities in the respective countries are responsible for the Keyhole, which is not only a Nordic labelling scheme, but can be used in all countries of the world provided they conform to the criteria for the label.
