Abstract in brief

  • The control of the global food system by transnational corporations (TNCs) has led to increased availability of unhealthy processed foods, environmental damage, and health issues, as they use their economic and organizational power to reinforce a profit-driven, neoliberal paradigm.
  • Despite their influence, power is distributed among various actors, including those concerned with health and sustainability, who can leverage strategies from social movements and policy initiatives—like the Doha Declaration, the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, and divestment actions—to challenge corporate dominance and promote healthier, more sustainable food systems.
  • The paper emphasizes that transforming the current system requires understanding power dynamics and empowering weaker, public-interest actors to take strategic actions that disrupt the status quo and foster positive structural change toward healthier food environments.]
