Abstract in brief

  • This paper explores how public health is often overlooked in the discussions about social license within the increasingly financialized food system, focusing on foreign ownership in Australia's sugar industry and how finance actors' investments impact food prices and health.
  • It analyzes how companies try to gain or keep social license using narratives around biofuels and energy security, but tend to ignore health impacts, especially related to sugar consumption and unhealthy diets.
  • The study reveals a gap between the financialization of food and health outcomes, showing that efforts to build trust often emphasize ethical practices and biofuels, while health remains largely ignored in these narratives.]
