What do young people eat? Where do they eat? Why do they eat what they eat? The answers to these questions are shaped by their food environments: the collective economic, socio-cultural, physical, and political factors that influence food choice. Understanding how food environments are configured is helping our partners in Vietnam, Kenya, and Ethiopia identify opportunities and local solutions that can drive broader change.
