| Annotation | The Low Income Project Team (LIPT) was set up by the Nutrition Task Force because it was recognised that people on low incomes may experience particular difficulties in constructing a healthy and varied diet in line with the 'Health of the nation' guidelines. This report describes such problems and identifies the main policy issues. It outlines food projects, and examines their limitations and opportunities. Proposals are made for setting up a network and database, with recommendations for evaluation of projects. A strategic plan identifies key players who can tackle constraints on food access and preparation; and describes practices and policies which aim to improve nutritional health in low income households. |
