Abstract

Policymakers are still struggling to deliver effective nutrition policies, as nutrition policy development can be lost among other competing demands from what is a complex, interconnected food system. Therefore, we explored the relevance of including a wider (relational) marketing perspective to enable effective nutrition policy formulation through in-depth interviews with food system stakeholders and focus groups with citizens. A relational approach would release the potential to build trust and collaboration, necessary for policy implementation, by focusing on the shared goal of citizen wellbeing. A power shift is needed from large corporations to governments and end-users (consumers/citizens). For this to happen, governments need to address power sources to orchestrate policy development, rather than merely monitoring the actor set. Acknowledged interdependence that re-balances power and includes citizens' input in nutrition policy development is vital.
