Design of economic incentive instruments in nutrition policy

    Abstract

    • Economic incentives are instruments to improve diets and reduce the fraction of people exposed to diet-related health risks
    • Proper targeting and design of economic incentive instruments is important, if such instruments should be efficient and feasible policy measures in the improvement of dietary behaviour in industrialised countries
    • From a cost-effectiveness perspective, there are considerable potential for optimizing the targeting and design of economic incentive instruments in nutritional policy
