Ensuring Children's Rights to Healthy Diets: The role of mandatory food regulation in creating healthy food environments

World Vision advocates for comprehensive mandatory food regulations and government standards for private sector engagement to create healthier food environments and diets for all children.

World Vision is committed to promote mandatory regulatory interventions aimed at cultivating healthier food environments and safeguarding the well-being of children and vulnerable populations worldwide. As part of our ENOUGH global campaign, we will actively seek and engage with stakeholders to align advocacy efforts with national and global priorities on food regulation. We will participate in coalitions and movements dedicated to food regulation advocacy, along with children and youth, to amplify impact and leverage collective action to advance regulatory agendas. These efforts must prioritise the protection of children’s rights to healthy diets and food environments, aligning with global health and nutrition goals. We urge all stakeholders—including governments, civil society organisations, and the private sector—to join us in advancing these crucial measures to ensure every child has access to the nutritious food they need to thrive.
