Food and Health: Actor Strategies in Information and Communication: Vol 2

Food is a major health issue; the links between diet and health are dominant in nutrition discourse and practice.

Food and Health: Actor Strategies in Information and Communication identifies the informational practices of nutrition professionals and consumers to study the structural elements of food and health. It analyzes the communication strategies of actors and the dissemination and use of information related to both food for health and health through food.

The book considers nutrition from the point of view of public policies, educational organizations, preventive measures, consumers and patients.
