Dietary and policy priorities to reduce the global crises of obesity and diabetes The food system is crucial for well-being, healthcare costs, health disparities and planetary sustainability. While diet influences many diseases, the global pandemics of obesity and T2DM are particularly notable. In less than a century, modern nutrition science has advanced remarkably, highlighting key priorities to address obesity and T2DM. The significant impacts of the food system on health, the economy, equity and the environment, together with mounting public and food-industry recognition of these issues, have created an opportunity for leadership to create meaningful and lasting solutions. Such efforts must be catalyzed by multi-sectoral policies, with governments playing a special role. This includes an urgent need for greatly expanded food and nutrition discovery and innovation, that is coordinated and mission-oriented toward the health of people and the planet.
