A new report, Sugar Pollution: Curbing sugar supply for health and the environment has been released by the Research and Action on Salt and Obesity unit.
Written by the Action on Sugar team in collaboration with environment NGO Feedback Global, the report examines the impacts on public health and the environment of producing, importing, and consuming too much sugar, including the links to obesity and the irreversible damage to soil. It also sets out action that could be taken to steer a different course, to tackle both the oversupply and overconsumption of sugar in an integrated way, and harness existing public support for strong and visible political leadership on food. This story was covered in the Observer.
